Context. Love numbers measure the reaction of a celestial body to perturbing forces, such as the centrifugal force caused by rotation, or tidal forces resulting from the interaction with a companion body. These parameters are related to the interior density profile. The non-point mass nature of the host star and a planet orbiting around each other contributes to the periastron precession. The rate of this precession is characterized mainly by the second-order Love number, which offers an opportunity to determine its value. When it is known, the planetary interior structure can be studied with one additional constraint beyond the mass, radius, and orbital parameters. Aims. We aim to re-determine the orbital period, eccentricity, and argument of the periastron for WASP-19Ab, along with a study of its periastron precession rate. We calculated the planetary Love number from the observed periastron precession rate, based on the assumption of the stellar Love number from stellar evolutionary models. Methods. We collected all available radial velocity (RV) data, along with the transit and occultation times from the previous investigations of the system. We supplemented the data set with 19 new RV data points of the host star WASP-19A obtained by HARPS. Here, we summarize the technique for modeling the RV observations and the photometric transit timing variations (TTVs) to determine the rate of periastron precession in this system for the first time. Results. We excluded the presence of a second possible planet up to a period of ~4200 d and with a radial velocity amplitude bigger than ≃ 1 m s −1 . We show that a constant period is not able to reproduce the observed radial velocities. We also investigated and excluded the possibility of tidal decay and long-term acceleration in the system. However, the inclusion of a small periastron precession term did indeed improve the quality of the fit. We measured the periastron precession rate to be 233 −35 +25 ″d −1 . By assuming synchronous rotation for the planet, it indicates a k 2 Love number of 0.20 −0.03 +0.02 for WASP-19Ab. Conclusions. The derived k 2,p value of the planet has the same order of magnitude as the estimated fluid Love number of other Jupiter-sized exoplanets (WASP-18Ab, WASP-103b, and WASP-121b). A low value of k 2,p indicates a higher concentration of mass toward the planetary nucleus.
