A Long-Period Jupiter-Mass Planet Orbiting the Nearby M Dwarf GJ849

Abstract

We report precise Doppler measurements of GJ849 (M3.5V) that reveal the presence of a planet with a minimum mass of 0.82 Mjup in a 5.16 year orbit. At a = 2.35 AU, GJ849b is the first Doppler-detected planet discovered around an M dwarf to orbit beyond 0.21 AU, and is only the second Jupiter mass planet discovered around a star less massive than 0.5 Msun. This detection brings to 4 the number of M stars known to harbor planets. Based on the results of our survey of 1300 FGKM main--sequence stars we find that giant planets within 2.5 AU are ~3 times more common around GK stars than around M stars. Due to the GJ849's proximity of 8.8 pc, the planet's angular separation is 0."27, making this system a prime target for high--resolution imaging using adaptive optics and future space--borne missions such as the Space Interferometry Mission. We also find evidence of a linear trend in the velocity time series, which may be indicative of an additional planetary companion.
