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…

We report the discovery of the low-density, transiting giant planet WASP-31b. The planet is 0.48 Jupiter masses and 1.55 Jupiter radii. It is in a 3.4-day orbit around a metal-poor…
A collision in 2009 as the origin of the debris trail of asteroid P/2010 A2
Colin Snodgrass, Cecilia Tubiana, Jean-Baptiste Vincent +15
The peculiar object P/2010 A2 was discovered by the LINEAR near-Earth asteroid survey in January 2010 and given a cometary designation due to the presence of a trail of material, a…

The Doppler Shadow of WASP-3b: A tomographic analysis of Rossiter-McLaughlin observations
G. R. M. Miller, A. Collier Cameron, E. K. Simpson +9
Hot-Jupiter planets must form at large separations from their host stars where the temperatures are cool enough for their cores to condense. They then migrate inwards to their curr…
WASP-32b: A transiting hot Jupiter planet orbiting a lithium-poor, solar-type star
