K2-290: a warm Jupiter and a mini-Neptune in a triple-star system
Abstract
We report the discovery of two transiting planets orbiting K2-290 (EPIC 249624646), a bright (V=11.11) late F-type star residing in a triple-star system. It was observed during Campaign 15 of the K2 mission, and in order to confirm and characterise the system, follow-up spectroscopy and AO imaging were carried out using the FIES, HARPS, HARPS-N, and IRCS instruments. From AO imaging and Gaia data we identify two M-dwarf companions at a separation of AU and AU. From radial velocities, K2 photometry, and stellar characterisation of the host star, we find the inner planet to be a mini-Neptune with a radius of and an orbital period of days. The radius of the mini-Neptune suggests that the planet is located above the radius valley, and with an incident flux of , it lies safely outside the super-Earth desert. The outer warm Jupiter has a mass of and a radius of , and orbits the host star every 48.4 days on an orbit with an eccentricity . Its mild eccentricity and mini-Neptune sibling suggest that the warm Jupiter originates from in situ formation or disk migration.
