Gl 176 radial velocities

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

A 10.24-day Neptune-mass planet was recently announced as orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf Gl 176, based on 28 radial velocities measured with the HRS spectrograph on the Hobby-Heberly Telescope.

Description

We obtained 57 radial velocities of Gl 176 with the ESO 3.6m telescope and the HARPS spectrograph, which is known for its sub-m/s stability. The median photon-noise standard error of our measurements is 1.1m/s, and the 4-year period over which they were obtained overlaps considerably with the epochs of the HET measurements.

The HARPS measurements show no evidence of a signal at the period of the putative HET planet, suggesting that its detection was spurious. We do find, on the other hand, strong evidence of a lower mass 8.4M_Earth_ planet, in a quasi-circular orbit and at the different period of 8.78 days.
