7 Feb 2007 - AAPS announces three new planets
Three new planets are
announced orbiting G-type dwarfs. Two of these planets (those orbiting
HD159868 and HD23127) have periods of 3-4 years, minimum (Msini)
masses of between 1.5 and 1.7 times that of Jupiter and orbital
semi-major axes of 2-2.4 astronomical units.
The third planet is found as a longer-period companion to the star
HD154857 (already known to host a planet with an orbital period of just
over a year and minimum mass of 1.8 times that of Jupiter). The second
planet has an orbital period of over 5 years.
For further details see the accepted paper available on astro-ph.
