Radial velocities and bisector spans for K2-287

DOI

We report the discovery of K2-287b, a Saturn mass planet orbiting a G-dwarf with a period of P~15 days. First uncovered as a candidate using K2 campaign 15 data, follow-up photometry and spectroscopy were used to determine a mass M_P_=0.317+/-0.026 M_J_, radius R_P_=0.833+/-0.013 R_J_, period P=14.893291+/-0.000025 days, and eccentricity e=0.476+/-0.026. The host star is a metal-rich V=11.410+/-0.129 mag G-dwarf for which we estimate a mass M_=1.056-0.021_^+0.022^ M_{sun}__, radius R_=1.070+/-0.010 R{sun}, metallicity [Fe/H]=0.20+/-0.05, and T_eff=5673+/-75 K. This warm eccentric planet with a time-averaged equilibrium temperature of T_eq_~800 K adds to the small sample of giant planets orbiting nearby stars whose structure is not expected to be affected by stellar irradiation. Follow-up studies on the K2-287 system could help constrain theories of planet migration in close-in orbits.
