摘要

我们报告了下一代凌星巡天发现的一颗新的超短周期热木星。NGTS-6b绕其恒星运行的周期为21.17小时,质量和半径分别为1.3300.028+0.0241.330^{+0.024}_{-0.028}\mjup\ 和 1.2710.188+0.1971.271^{+0.197}_{-0.188}\rjup\,行星体密度为0.7110.136+0.214^{+0.214}_{-0.136}~g~cm3^{-3}。与目前已知的少量超短周期热木星一致,该行星似乎围绕一颗富金属恒星([Fe/H]=+0.11±0.09=+0.11\pm0.09~dex)运行。光致蒸发模型表明,在系统演化的9.6 Gyr过程中,该行星应已损失了5%的气态大气。NGTS-6b增加了超短周期气态巨行星的小但不断增长的列表,并将帮助我们理解主导这一群体的形成和演化机制。
