摘要
目标。我们希望确认YSES 2b的性质,据称它是年轻恒星YSES 2的暗淡伴星。我们使用来自SPHERE和GRAVITY的天空观测来测量2b相对于恒星YSES 2的天体测量位置,并检验了(i)绑定的次恒星伴星与(ii)具有非零固有运动的遥远无关背景源的相互竞争的假设。YSES 2b似乎是一颗晚型m矮星,距离恒星YSES 2超过2千秒差距。它的横向速度为~ 300 km s - 1,位于银河系的一个旋臂内。主要的区别是重力天体测量的多个时代,确定了亚毫弧秒的恒星平行运动。
Aims. We wish to confirm the nature of YSES 2b, a purportedly faint companion of the young star YSES 2.Methods. We used on-sky observations from SPHERE and GRAVITY to measure the astrometric position of 2b with respect to the star YSES 2, and examined the competing hypotheses of (i) a bound substellar companion versus (ii) a distant unrelated background source with a non-zero proper motion.Results. YSES 2b appears to be a late-type M-dwarf star over 2 kiloparsecs behind the star YSES 2. It has a transverse velocity of ∼300 km s−1 and is located within one of the spiral arms of the Galaxy. The main discriminant was multiple epochs of GRAVITY astrometry that identified the sub-milliarcsecond parallactic motion of the star.
