A super-Earth orbiting the nearby M-dwarf GJ 536
A. Suárez Mascareño, J. I. González Hernández, R. Rebolo +13
We report the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting the star GJ 536 based on the analysis of the radial-velocity time series from the HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs. GJ 536 b is a p…
Transit Shapes and Self Organising Maps as a Tool for Ranking Planetary Candidates: Application to Kepler and K2
David J. Armstrong, Don Pollacco, Alexandre Santerne
A crucial step in planet hunting surveys is to select the best candidates for follow up observations, given limited telescope resources. This is often performed by human `eyeballin…

We present the discovery of the transiting exoplanets HAT-P-65b and HAT-P-66b, with orbital periods of 2.6055 d and 2.9721 d, masses of M and $0.783 \pm 0.0…
Atmospheric characterization of Proxima b by coupling the Sphere high-contrast imager to the Espresso spectrograph
C. Lovis, I. Snellen, D. Mouillet +17
Context. The temperate Earth-mass planet Proxima b is the closest exoplanet to Earth and represents what may be our best ever opportunity to search for life outside the Solar Syste…
A 1.9 Earth radius rocky planet and the discovery of a non-transiting planet in the Kepler-20 system
Lars A. Buchhave, Courtney D. Dressing, Xavier Dumusque +35
Kepler-20 is a solar-type star (V = 12.5) hosting a compact system of five transiting planets, all packed within the orbital distance of Mercury in our own Solar System. A transiti…
Disentangling planetary and stellar activity features in the CoRoT-2 light curve
G. Bruno, M. Deleuil, J. -M. Almenara +7
[Abridged] Context. Stellar activity is an important source of systematic errors and uncertainties in the characterization of exoplanets. Most of the techniques used to correct for…
Can stellar activity make a planet seem misaligned?
M. Oshagh, S. Dreizler, N. C. Santos +2
Several studies have shown that the occultation of stellar active regions by the transiting planet can generate anomalies in the high-precision transit light curves, and these anom…
Discovery of WASP-113b and WASP-114b, two inflated hot-Jupiters with contrasting densities
S. C. C. Barros, D. J. A. Brown, G. Hébrard +37
We present the discovery and characterisation of the exoplanets WASP-113b and WASP-114b by the WASP survey, {\it SOPHIE} and {\it CORALIE}. The planetary nature of the systems was…
New planetary and EB candidates from Campaigns 1-6 of the K2 mission
S. C. C. Barros, O. Demangeon, M. Deleuil
With only two functional reaction wheels, Kepler cannot maintain stable pointing at its original target field and entered a new mode of observation called K2. Our method is based o…
From dense hot Jupiter to low-density Neptune: The discovery of WASP-127b, WASP-136b and WASP-138b
K. W. F. Lam, F. Faedi, D. J. A. Brown +38
We report three newly discovered exoplanets from the SuperWASP survey. WASP-127b is a heavily inflated super-Neptune of mass 0.18 +/- 0.02 M_J and radius 1.37 +/- 0.04 R_J. This is…
Is the activity level of HD 80606 influenced by its eccentric planet?
P. Figueira, A. Santerne, A. Suárez Mascareño +14
Aims: Several studies suggest that the activity level of a planet-host star can be influenced by the presence of a close-by orbiting planet. Moreover, the interaction mechanisms th…
EPIC201702477b: A Long Period Transiting Brown Dwarf from K2
D. Bayliss, S. Hojjatpanah, A. Santerne +34
We report the discovery of EPIC201702477b, a transiting brown dwarf in a long period (40.73691 +/- 0.00037 day) and eccentric (e=0.2281 +/- 0.0026) orbit. This system was initially…
An extreme planetary system around HD219828. One long-period super Jupiter to a hot-neptune host star
N. C. Santos, A. Santerne, J. P. Faria +19
With about 2000 extrasolar planets confirmed, the results show that planetary systems have a whole range of unexpected properties. We present a full investigation of the HD219828 s…
