Spectral and orbital characterisation of the directly imaged giant planet HIP 65426 b

Abstract

HIP 65426 b is a recently discovered exoplanet imaged during the course of the SPHERE-SHINE survey. Here we present new $L^{\prime }$ and $M^{\prime }$ observations of the planet from the NACO instrument at the VLT from the NACO-ISPY survey, as well as a new $Y-H$ spectrum and $K$-band photometry from SPHERE-SHINE. Using these data, we confirm the nature of the companion as a warm, dusty planet with a mid-L spectral type. From comparison of its SED with the BT-Settl atmospheric models, we derive a best-fit effective temperature of $T_{\text{eff}}=1618\pm 7$ K, surface gravity $\log g=3.78_{-0.03}^{+0.04}$ and radius $R=1.17\pm 0.04$ $R_{\text{J}}$ (statistical uncertainties only). Using the DUSTY and COND isochrones we estimate a mass of $8\pm 1$ $M_{\text{J}}$. Combining the astrometric measurements from our new datasets and from the literature, we show the first indications of orbital motion of the companion (2.6$\sigma$ significance) and derive preliminary orbital constraints. We find a highly inclined orbit ($i=107_{-10}^{+13}$ deg) with an orbital period of $800_{-400}^{+1200}$ yr. We also report SPHERE sparse aperture masking observations that investigate the possibility that HIP 65426 b was scattered onto its current orbit by an additional companion at a smaller orbital separation. From this data we rule out the presence of brown dwarf companions with masses greater than 16 $M_{\text{J}}$ at separations larger than 3 AU, significantly narrowing the parameter space for such a companion.
