KELT-2Ab: A Hot Jupiter Transiting the Bright (V=8.77) Primary Star of a Binary System

Thomas G. Beatty, Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd +28

We report the discovery of KELT-2Ab, a hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V=8.77) primary star of the HD 42176 binary system. The host is a slightly evolved late F-star likely in t…

A giant planet undergoing extreme ultraviolet irradiation by its hot massive-star host

B. Scott Gaudi, Keivan G. Stassun, Karen A. Collins +57

The amount of ultraviolet irradiation and ablation experienced by a planet depends strongly on the temperature of its host star. Of the thousands of extra-solar planets now known,…
