Mass determination of K2-19b and K2-19c from radial velocities and transit timing variations

Abstract

We present FIES@NOT, HARPS-N@TNG, and [email protected] radial velocity follow-up observations of K2-19, a compact planetary system hosting three planets, of which the two larger ones, namely K2-19b and K2-19c, are close to the 3:2 mean motion resonance. An analysis considering only the radial velocity measurements detects K2-19b, the largest and most massive planet in the system, with a mass of $54.8\pm 7.5$~M${}_{\oplus }$ and provides a marginal detection of K2-19c, with a mass of M${}_{\mathrm{c}}$=$5.9_{-4.3}^{+7.6}$ M${}_{\oplus }$. We also used the TRADES code to simultaneously model both our RV measurements and the existing transit-timing measurements. We derived a mass of $54.4\pm 8.9$~M${}_{\oplus }$ for K2-19b and of $7.5_{-1.4}^{+3.0}$~M${}_{\oplus }$ for K2-19c. A prior K2-19b mass estimated by Barros et al. 2015, based principally on a photodynamical analysis of K2-19's light-curve, is consistent with both analysis, our combined TTV and RV analysis, and with our analysis based purely on RV measurements. Differences remain mainly in the errors of the more lightweight planet, driven likely by the limited precision of the RV measurements and possibly some yet unrecognized systematics.
