The sub-Jupiter mass transiting exoplanet WASP-11b
R. G. West, A. Collier Cameron, L. Hebb +25
We report the discovery of a sub-Jupiter mass exoplanet transiting a magnitude V=11.7 host star 1SWASP J030928.54+304024.7. A simultaneous fit to the transit photometry and radial-…
WASP-10b: a 3M_J, gas-giant planet transiting a late-type K star
D. J. Christian, N. P. Gibson, E. K. Simpson +37
We report the discovery of WASP-10b, a new transiting extrasolar planet (ESP) discovered by the WASP Consortium and confirmed using NOT FIES and SOPHIE radial velocity data. A 3.09…
WASP-1b and WASP-2b: Two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE
A. Collier Cameron, F. Bouchy, G. Hebrard +36
We have detected low-amplitude radial-velocity variations in two stars, USNO-B1.0 1219-0005465 (GSC 02265-00107 = WASP-1) and USNO-B1.0 0964-0543604 (GSC 00522-01199 = WASP-2). Bot…
WASP-14b: 7.3 Mj transiting planet in an eccentric orbit
Y. C. Joshi, D. Pollacco, A. Collier Cameron +38
We report the discovery of a 7.3 Mjup exoplanet WASP-14b, one of the most massive transiting exoplanets observed to date. The planet orbits the tenth-magnitude F5V star USNO-B1 111…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
The 0.5M transiting exoplanet WASP-13b
I. Skillen, D. Pollacco, A. Collier Cameron +32
We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of days. The transit has a de…
TOI-5678 b: A 48-day transiting Neptune-mass planet characterized with CHEOPS and HARPS
S. Ulmer-Moll, H. P. Osborn, A. Tuson +92
A large sample of long-period giant planets has been discovered thanks to long-term radial velocity surveys, but only a few dozen of these planets have a precise radius measurement…
Discovery and characterization of the exoplanets WASP-148b and c. A transiting system with two interacting giant planets
G. Hebrard, R. F. Diaz, A. C. M. Correia +39
We present the discovery and characterization of WASP-148, a new extrasolar system that includes at least two giant planets. The host star is a slowly rotating inactive late-G dwar…
Emission from the secondary star in the old CV WZ Sge
D. Steeghs, T. Marsh, C. Knigge +3
We present the first detection of the mass donor star in the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge. Phase resolved spectroscopy reveals narrow Balmer emission components from the irradiated…
WASP-3b: a strongly-irradiated transiting gas-giant planet
D. Pollacco, I. Skillen, A. Collier Cameron +43
We report the discovery of WASP-3b, the third transiting exoplanet to be discovered by the WASP and SOPHIE collaboration. WASP-3b transits its host star USNO-B1.0 1256-0285133 ever…
Efficient identification of exoplanetary transit candidates from SuperWASP light curves
A. Collier Cameron, D. M. Wilson, R. G. West +29
Transiting extrasolar planets constitute only a small fraction of the range of stellar systems found to display periodic, shallow dimmings in wide-field surveys employing small-ape…
A first look at cataclysmic variable stars from the 2dF QSO survey
T. R. Marsh, L. Morales-Rueda, D. Steeghs +9
The 2dF QSO survey is a spectroscopic survey of 48,000 point-sources selected by colour with magnitudes in the range 18.35 < B < 20.95. Amongst QSOs, white dwarfs, narrow-line gala…
The unusual X-ray light-curve of GRB 080307: the onset of the afterglow?
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien +11
Swift-detected GRB 080307 showed an unusual smooth rise in its X-ray light-curve around 100 seconds after the burst, at the start of which the emission briefly softened. This `hump…
