The spin-orbit alignment of the transiting exoplanet WASP-3b from Rossiter-McLaughlin observations
E. K. Simpson, D. Pollacco, G. Hebrard +7
We present an observation of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for the planetary system WASP-3. Radial velocity measurements were made during transit using the SOPHIE spectrograph at…
The Return of Activity in Main-Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
Henry H. Hsieh, David Jewitt, Pedro Lacerda +2
Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro is the first-known and currently best-characterised member of the main-belt comets, a recently-identified class of objects that exhibit cometary activity bu…
The Dark Red Spot on KBO Haumea
Pedro Lacerda
Kuiper belt object 136108 Haumea is one of the most fascinating bodies in our solar system. Approximately 2000x1600x1000 km in size, it is one of the largest Kuiper belt objects (K…
The Sizes of Kuiper Belt Objects
Pedro Lacerda
One of the most fundamental problems in the study of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) is to know their true physical size. Without knowledge of their albedos we are not able to distingui…
Prograde rotation of protoplanets by accretion of pebbles in a gaseous environment
Anders Johansen, Pedro Lacerda
We perform hydrodynamical simulations of the accretion of pebbles and rocks onto protoplanets of a few hundred kilometres in radius, including two-way drag force coupling between p…
Spitzer observations of the asteroid-comet transition object and potential spacecraft target 107P (4015) Wilson-Harrington
J. Licandro, H. Campins, M. Kelley +15
Context. Near-Earth asteroid-comet transition object 107P/ (4015) Wilson-Harrington is a possible target of the joint European Space Agency (ESA) and Japanese Aerospace Exploration…
A transit timing analysis of seven RISE light curves of the exoplanet system HAT-P-3
N. P. Gibson, D. Pollacco, S. Barros +9
We present seven light curves of the exoplanet system HAT-P-3, taken as part of a transit timing program using the RISE instrument on the Liverpool Telescope. The light curves are…
WASP-16b: A new Jupiter-like planet transiting a southern solar analog
T. A. Lister, D. R. Anderson, M. Gillon +29
We report the discovery from WASP-South of a new Jupiter-like extrasolar planet, WASP-16b, which transits its solar analog host star every 3.12 days. Analysis of the transit photom…
WASP-17b: an ultra-low density planet in a probable retrograde orbit
D. R. Anderson, C. Hellier, M. Gillon +18
We report the discovery of the transiting giant planet WASP-17b, the least-dense planet currently known. It is 1.6 Saturn masses but 1.5-2 Jupiter radii, giving a density of 6-14 p…
The Hawaii Trails Project: Comet-Hunting in the Main Asteroid Belt
Henry H. Hsieh
The mysterious solar system object 133P/(7968) Elst-Pizarro is dynamically asteroidal, yet displays recurrent comet-like dust emission. Two scenarios were hypothesized to explain t…
A SuperWASP search for additional transiting planets in 24 known systems
A. M. S. Smith, L. Hebb, A. Collier Cameron +7
We present results from a search for additional transiting planets in 24 systems already known to contain a transiting planet. We model the transits due to the known planet in each…
A transit timing analysis of nine RISE light curves of the exoplanet system TrES-3
N. P. Gibson, D. Pollacco, I. Skillen +9
We present nine newly observed transits of TrES-3, taken as part of a transit timing program using the RISE instrument on the Liverpool Telescope. A Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo analys…
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…
Albedos of Main-Belt Comets 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR
Henry H. Hsieh, David Jewitt, Yanga R. Fernandez
We present the determination of the geometric R-band albedos of two main-belt comet nuclei based on data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and a number of ground-based optical facil…
The low density transiting exoplanet WASP-15b
R. G. West, D. R. Anderson, M. Gillon +20
We report the discovery of a low-density exoplanet transiting an 11th magnitude star in the Southern hemisphere. WASP-15b, which orbits its host star with a period P=3.7520656+-0.0…
Discovery and characterization of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting a solar-type star
M. Gillon, D. R. Anderson, A. H. M. J. Triaud +21
We report the discovery of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting every 3.3610060 +0.0000022-0.0000035 days a mildly metal-poor solar-type star of magnitude V=11.9…
