A Multi-Planet System Transiting the $V$ = 9 Rapidly Rotating F-Star HD 106315

Abstract

We report the discovery of a multi-planet system orbiting HD 106315, a rapidly rotating mid F-type star, using data from the K2 mission. HD 106315 hosts a $2.51\pm 0.12R_{\oplus }$ sub-Neptune in a 9.5 day orbit, and a $4.31_{-0.27}^{+0.24}{R}_{\oplus }$ super-Neptune in a 21 day orbit. The projected rotational velocity of HD 106315 (12.9 km s${}^{-1}$) likely precludes precise measurements of the planets' masses, but could enable a measurement of the sky-projected spin-orbit obliquity for the outer planet via Doppler tomography. The eccentricities of both planets were constrained to be consistent with 0, following a global modeling of the system that includes a Gaia distance and dynamical arguments. The HD 106315 system is one of few multi-planet systems hosting a Neptune-sized planet for which orbital obliquity measurements are possible, making it an excellent test-case for formation mechanisms of warm-Neptunian systems. The brightness of the host star also makes HD 106315 c a candidate for future transmission spectroscopic follow-up studies.
