KELT-6b: A P~7.9 d Hot Saturn Transiting a Metal-Poor Star with a Long-Period Companion
Karen A. Collins, Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty +39
We report the discovery of KELT-6b, a mildly-inflated Saturn-mass planet transiting a metal-poor host. The initial transit signal was identified in KELT-North survey data, and the…
KELT-23Ab: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Near-Solar Twin Close to the TESS and JWST Continuous Viewing Zones
Daniel Johns, Phillip Reed, Joseph Rodriguez +55
We announce the discovery of KELT-23Ab, a hot Jupiter transiting the relatively bright () star BD+66 911 (TYC 4187-996-1), and characterize the system using follow-up photo…
KELT-25b and KELT-26b: A Hot Jupiter and a Substellar Companion Transiting Young A-stars Observed by TESS
Romy RodrÃguez MartÃnez, B. Scott Gaudi, Joseph E. Rodriguez +89
We present the discoveries of KELT-25b (TIC 65412605, TOI-626.01) and KELT-26b (TIC 160708862, TOI-1337.01), two transiting companions orbiting relatively bright, early A-stars. Th…
KELT-4Ab: An inflated Hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V~10) component of a hierarchical triple
Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty, Robert J. Siverd +42
We report the discovery of KELT-4Ab, an inflated, transiting Hot Jupiter orbiting the brightest component of a hierarchical triple stellar system. The host star is an F star with $…
KELT-17b: A hot-Jupiter transiting an A-star in a misaligned orbit detected with Doppler tomography
George Zhou, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Karen A. Collins +45
We present the discovery of a hot-Jupiter transiting the V=9.23 mag main-sequence A-star KELT-17 (BD+14 1881). KELT-17b is a 1.31 -0.29/+0.28 Mj, 1.525 -0.060/+0.065 Rj hot-Jupiter…
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…
KELT-3b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a V=9.8 Late-F Star
Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd, Thomas G. Beatty +31
We report the discovery of KELT-3b, a moderately inflated transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of 1.477 (-0.067, +0.066) M_J, and radius of 1.345 +/- 0.072 R_J, with an orbital perio…
KELT-22Ab: A Massive Hot Jupiter Transiting a Near Solar Twin
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Keivan G. Stassun +58
We present the discovery of KELT-22Ab, a hot Jupiter from the KELT-South survey. KELT-22Ab transits the moderately bright () Sun-like G2V star TYC 7518-468-1. The plane…
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,…
