Abstract
We considered the planetary system of TOI-6255, in which an Earth-like planet with an extremely short period of 5.7 hours orbits an M dwarf. Based on archival measurements of TOI-6255 brightness we established rotation-induced light variability and periodic long-term variability of the object. Possible rotation period P of the star falls within the periods of 64–74 days and 78–92 days. The results were compared with those reported in the literature. For two values of logR'HK (-5.15 and -4.66), corresponding to the peaks of the bimodal distribution of this parameter for low-activity and active M dwarfs, the atmospheric mass loss rates of the planet TOI-6255 b were estimated: 4.9 · 109 g/s for logR'HK = - 4.66, and 1.1 · 109 g/s for logR'HK = - 5.15. We determined the promise of TOI-6255 b to become a high priority subject for future research.
期刊介绍:
Astrophysics (Ap) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal which publishes research in theoretical and observational astrophysics. Founded by V.A.Ambartsumian in 1965 Astrophysics is one of the international astronomy journals. The journal covers space astrophysics, stellar and galactic evolution, solar physics, stellar and planetary atmospheres, interstellar matter. Additional subjects include chemical composition and internal structure of stars, quasars and pulsars, developments in modern cosmology and radiative transfer.
