Scientific paper

We report the detection of a new large-mass planet orbiting around a K0 IV(V = 8.26) star which has a minimum mass Mpsin i = 10.70+/-0.50 MJup in a 696.0+/-2.6-day orbit. It was detected in precise radial velocity (RV) measurements from Subaru and Keck. The derived orbital parameters, based on a κ2 which minimized by Downhill Simplex algorithm, suggests that these radial velocity variations are consistent with an almost circular planetary orbit and a Mars-like semimajor axis(e~0.0, a = 1.70+/-0.03 AU). Extra-solar planets that have several times the mass of Jupiter orbiting in periods of hundreds or thousands of days, with very low eccentricities(e<0.1), are rare discoveries. Our detection presents a new sample of these circular orbit massive planets.
