A much lower density for the transiting extrasolar planet WASP-7
John Southworth, M. Dominik, U. G. Jorgensen +29
We present the first high-precision photometry of the transiting extrasolar planetary system WASP-7, obtained using telescope defocussing techniques and reaching a scatter of 0.68…
Qatar-1b: a hot Jupiter orbiting a metal-rich K dwarf star
K. A. Alsubai, N. R. Parley, D. M. Bramich +18
We report the discovery and initial characterisation of Qatar-1b, a hot Jupiter orbiting a metal-rich K dwarf star, the first planet discovered by the Alsubai Project exoplanet tra…
The WASP-South search for transiting exoplanets
Coel Hellier, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +9
Since 2006 WASP-South has been scanning the Southern sky for transiting exoplanets. Combined with Geneva Observatory radial velocities we have so far found over 30 transiting exopl…
WASP-34b: a near-grazing transiting sub-Jupiter-mass exoplanet in a hierarchical triple system
B. Smalley, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +19
We report the discovery of WASP-34b, a sub-Jupiter-mass exoplanet transiting its 10.4-magnitude solar-type host star (1SWASP J110135.89-235138.4; TYC 6636-540-1) every 4.3177 days…
High C/O Ratio and Weak Thermal Inversion in the Very Hot Atmosphere of Exoplanet WASP-12b
Nikku Madhusudhan, Joseph Harrington, Kevin B. Stevenson +16
The carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) in a planet provides critical information about its primordial origins and subsequent evolution. A primordial C/O greater than 0.8 causes a carbide…
WASP-41b: A transiting hot Jupiter planet orbiting a magnetically-active G8V star
P. F. L. Maxted, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +13
We report the discovery of a transiting planet with an orbital period of 3.05d orbiting the star TYC 7247-587-1. The star, WASP-41, is a moderately bright G8V star (V=11.6) with a…
