The HD 260655 system: Two rocky worlds transiting a bright M dwarf at 10 pc
We report the discovery of a multiplanetary system transiting the M0 V dwarf HD 260655 (GJ 239, TOI-4599). The system consists of at least two transiting planets, namely HD 260655 b, with a period of 2.77 d, a radius of Rb = 1.240 ± 0.023 R⊕, a mass of Mb = 2.14 ± 0.34 M⊕, and a bulk density of ρb...

| description | We report the discovery of a multiplanetary system transiting the M0 V dwarf HD 260655 (GJ 239, TOI-4599). The system consists
of at least two transiting planets, namely HD 260655 b, with a period of 2.77 d, a radius of Rb = 1.240 ± 0.023 R⊕, a mass of Mb =
2.14 ± 0.34 M⊕, and a bulk density of ρb = 6.2 ± 1.0 g cm−3
, and HD 260655 c, with a period of 5.71 d, a radius of Rc = 1.533+0.051
−0.046 R⊕,
a mass of Mc = 3.09 ± 0.48 M⊕, and a bulk density of ρc = 4.7
+0.9
−0.8
g cm−3
. The planets have been detected in transit by the Transiting
Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission and confirmed independently with archival and new precise radial velocities obtained with
the HIRES and CARMENES instruments since 1998 and 2016, respectively. At a distance of 10 pc, HD 260655 has become the fourth
closest known multitransiting planet system after HD 219134, LTT 1445 A, and AU Mic. Due to the apparent brightness of the host
star (J = 6.7 mag), both planets are among the most suitable rocky worlds known today for atmospheric studies with the James Webb
Space Telescope, both in transmission and emission. |
