NGTS-33b: A Young Super-Jupiter Hosted by a Fast Rotating Massive Hot Star
Abstract
In the last few decades planet search surveys have been focusing on solar type stars, and only recently the high-mass regimes. This is mostly due to challenges arising from the lack of instrumental precision, and more importantly, the inherent active nature of fast rotating massive stars. Here we report NGTS-33b (TOI-6442b), a super-Jupiter planet with mass, radius and orbital period of 3.6 ± 0.3 Mj, 1.64 ± 0.07 Rj and 2.827972 ± 0.000001 days, respectively. The host is a fast rotating (0.6654 ± 0.0006 day) and hot (Teff = 7437 ± 72 K) A9V type star, with a mass and radius of 1.60 ± 0.11 M⊙ and 1.47 ± 0.06 R⊙, respectively. Planet structure and Gyrochronology models shows that NGTS-33 is also very young with age limits of 10-50 Myr. In addition, membership analysis points towards the star being part of the Vela OB2 association, which has an age of ~ 20-35 Myr, thus providing further evidences about the young nature of NGTS-33. Its low bulk density of 0.19±0.03 gcm-3 is 13
