K Dwarf Radius Inflation and a 10 Gyr Spin-down Clock Unveiled through Asteroseismology of HD 219134 from the Keck Planet Finder

We present the first asteroseismic analysis of the K3 V planet host HD 219134 based on four consecutive nights of radial velocities collected with the Keck Planet Finder. We apply Gold deconvolution to the power spectrum to disentangle modes from side lobes in the spectral window and extract 25 mode...

description We present the first asteroseismic analysis of the K3 V planet host HD 219134 based on four consecutive nights of radial velocities collected with the Keck Planet Finder. We apply Gold deconvolution to the power spectrum to disentangle modes from side lobes in the spectral window and extract 25 mode frequencies with spherical degrees 0 ≤ ℓ ≤ 3. We derive the fundamental properties using five different evolutionary-modeling pipelines and report a mass of 0.763 ± 0.020 (stat)  ± 0.007 (sys) M _⊙ , a radius of 0.748 ± 0.007 (stat)  ± 0.002 (sys) R _⊙ , and an age of 10.151 ± 1.520 (stat)  ± 0.810 (sys) Gyr. Compared to the interferometric radius 0.783 ± 0.005 R _⊙ , the asteroseismic radius is 4% smaller at the 4 σ level—a discrepancy not easily explained by known interferometric systematics, modeling assumptions on atmospheric boundary conditions and mixing lengths, magnetic fields, or tidal heating. HD 219134 is the first main-sequence star cooler than 5000 K with an asteroseismic age estimate and will serve as a critical calibration point for stellar spin-down relations. We show that existing calibrated prescriptions for angular momentum loss, incorporating weakened magnetic braking with asteroseismically constrained stellar parameters, accurately reproduce the observed rotation period. Additionally, we revised the masses and radii of the super-Earths in the system, which support their having Earth-like compositions. Finally, we confirm that the oscillation amplitude in radial velocity scales as ( L / M ) ^1.5 in K dwarfs, in contrast to the ( L / M ) ^0.7 relation observed in G dwarfs. These findings provide significant insights into the structure and angular momentum loss of K-type stars.
