S. Grziwa, D. Gandolfi, Sz. Csizmadia +25
We report the discovery of K2-31b, the first confirmed transiting hot Jupiter detected by the K2 space mission. We combined K2 photometry with FastCam lucky imaging and FIES and HA…
Tests of the planetary hypothesis for PTFO 8-8695b
Liang Yu, Joshua N. Winn, Michaël Gillon +16
The T Tauri star PTFO 8-8695 exhibits periodic fading events that have been interpreted as the transits of a giant planet on a precessing orbit. Here we present three tests of the…
A low stellar obliquity for WASP-47, a compact multiplanet system with a hot Jupiter and an ultra-short period planet
Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Joshua N. Winn, Fei Dai +9
We have detected the Rossiter-Mclaughlin effect during a transit of WASP-47b, the only known hot Jupiter with close planetary companions. By combining our spectroscopic observation…
Broad-band spectrophotometry of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-12b from the near-UV to the near-IR
M. Mallonn, V. Nascimbeni, J. Weingrill +13
The detection of trends or gradients in the transmission spectrum of extrasolar planets is possible with observations at very low spectral resolution. Transit measurements of suffi…
A HARPS view on K2-3
J. M. Almenara, N. Astudillo-Defru, X. Bonfils +14
K2 space observations recently found that three super-Earths transit the nearby M dwarf K2-3. The apparent brightness and the small physical radius of their host star rank these pl…
Spitzer Parallax of OGLE-2015-BLG-0966: A Cold Neptune in the Galactic Disk
R. A. Street, A. Udalski, S. Calchi Novati +106
We report the detection of a Cold Neptune m_planet=21+/-2MEarth orbiting a 0.38MSol M dwarf lying 2.5-3.3 kpc toward the Galactic center as part of a campaign combining ground-base…
Using the chromatic Rossiter-McLaughlin effect to probe the broadband signature in the optical transmission spectrum of HD 189733b
E. Di Gloria, I. A. G. Snellen, S. Albrecht
Transmission spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing exoplanetary atmospheres. A successful ground-based observational method uses a differential technique based on high-d…
