We report precise Doppler shift measurements of 55 Cancri (G8V) obtained from 1989 to 2002 at Lick Observatory. The velocities reveal evidence for an outer planetary companion to 55 Cancri orbiting at 5.5 AU. The velocities also confirm a second, inner planet at 0.11 AU. The outer planet is the first extrasolar planet found that orbits near or beyond the orbit of Jupiter. It was drawn from a sample of ~50 stars observed with sufficient duration and quality to detect a giant planet at 5 AU, implying that such planets are not rare. The properties of this jupiter analog may be compared directly to those of the Jovian planets in our Solar System. Its eccentricity is modest, e=0.16, compared with e=0.05 for both Jupiter and Saturn. Its mass is at least 4.0 jupiter masses (M sin i). The two planets do not perturb each other significantly. Moreover, a third planet of sub-Jupiter mass could easily survive in between these two known planets. Indeed a third periodicity remains in the velocity measurements with P = 44.3 d and a semi-amplitude of 13 m/s. This periodicity is caused either by a third planet at a=0.24 AU or by inhomogeneities on the stellar surface that rotates with period 42 d. The planet interpretation is more likely, as the stellar surface is quiet, exhibiting log(R_{HK}) = -5.0 and brightness variations less than 1 millimag, and any hypothetical surface inhomogeneity would have to persist in longitude for 14 yr. Even with all three planets, an additional planet of terrestrial--mass could orbit stably at ~1 AU. The star 55 Cancri is apparently a normal, middle-aged main sequence star with a mass of 0.95 solar masses, rich in heavy elements ([Fe/H] = +0.27). This high metallicity raises the issue of the relationship between its age, rotation, and chromosphere.
We report the analysis of two new spectroscopic observations of the super-Earth 55 Cancri e, in the near infrared, obtained with the WFC3 camera onboard the HST. 55 Cancri e orbits so close to its parent star, that temperatures much higher than 2000
We report 18 years of Doppler shift measurements of a nearby star, 55 Cancri, that exhibit strong evidence for five orbiting planets. The four previously reported planets are strongly confirmed here. A fifth planet is presented, with an apparent orbi
The bright star 55 Cancri is known to host five planets, including a transiting super-Earth. We use the CHARA Array to directly determine the following of 55 Cncs stellar astrophysical parameters: $R=0.943 pm 0.010 R_{odot}$, $T_{rm EFF} = 5196 pm 24
The naked-eye star 55 Cancri hosts a planetary system with five known planets, including a hot super-Earth (55 Cnc e) extremely close to its star and a farther out giant planet (55 Cnc b), found in milder irradiation conditions with respect to other
The bright star 55 Cancri is known to host five planets, including a transiting super-Earth. The study presented here yields directly determined values for 55 Cncs stellar astrophysical parameters based on improved interferometry: $R=0.943 pm 0.010 R
