Abstract

We announce the discovery of K2-139 b (EPIC 218916923 b), a transiting warm- Jupiter (T-eq = 547 +/- 25 K) on a 29-d orbit around an active (log R'(HK)= -4.46 +/- 0.06) K0V star in K2 Campaign 7. We derive the system's parameters by combining the K2 photometry with ground-based follow-up observations. With a mass of 0.387(-0.075)(+0.083) M-J and radius of 0.808(-0.033)(+0.034) R-J, K2-139 b is one of the transiting warm Jupiters with the lowest mass known to date. The planetary mean density of 0.91(-0.20)(+0.24) g cm(-3) can be explained with a core of similar to 50M circle dot. Given the brightness of the host star (V = 11.653 mag), the relatively short transit duration (similar to 5 h), and the expected amplitude of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect (similar to 25m s(-1)), K2-139 is an ideal target to measure the spin-orbit angle of a planetary system hosting a warm Jupiter.
