Description
We report on Doppler observations of three transiting planet candidates
that were detected during Campaign 1 of the K2 mission. The Doppler
observations were conducted with FIES, HARPS-N, and HARPS. We measure
the mass of EPIC 201546283b, and provide constraints and upper limits
for EPIC 201295312b and EPIC 201577035b. EPIC 201546283b is a warm
Neptune orbiting its host star in 6.77 days and has a radius of
{4.45}-0.33+0.33 {R}\oplus and a mass
of {29.1}-7.4+7.5 {M}\oplus , which
leads to a mean density of {1.80}-0.55+0.70 {{g}}
{{cm}}-3. EPIC 201295312b is smaller than Neptune with an
orbital period of 5.66 days, a radius of
{2.75}-0.22+0.24 {R}\oplus , and we
constrain the mass to be below 12 {M}\oplus at 95%
confidence. We also find a long-term trend indicative of another body in
the system. EPIC 201577035b, which was previously confirmed as the
planet K2-10b, is smaller than Neptune, orbiting its host star in 19.3
days, with a radius of {3.84}-0.34+0.35
{R}\oplus . We determine its mass to be
{27}-16+17 {M}\oplus , with a 95%
confidence upper limit at 57 {M}\oplus , and a mean density
of {2.6}-1.6+2.1 {\text{g cm}}-3. These
measurements join the relatively small collection of planets smaller
than Neptune with measurements or constraints of the mean density. Our
code for performing K2 photometry and detecting planetary transits is
now publicly available.
