HAT-P-7b: An Extremely Hot Massive Planet Transiting a Bright Star in the Kepler Field
A. Pal, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +14
We report on the latest discovery of the HATNet project; a very hot giant planet orbiting a bright (V = 10.5) star with a small semi-major axis of a = 0.0377 +/- 0.0005 AU. Ephemer…
HAT-P-6b: A Hot Jupiter transiting a bright F star
R. W. Noyes, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +17
In the ongoing HATNet survey we have detected a giant planet, with radius 1.33 +/- 0.06 RJup and mass 1.06 +/- 0.12 MJup, transiting the bright (V = 10.5) star GSC 03239-00992. The…
HAT-P-3b: A heavy-element rich planet transiting a K dwarf star
G. Torres, G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs +13
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-size planet transiting a relatively bright (V = 11.56) and metal-rich early K dwarf star with a period of about 2.9 days. On the basis of follo…
HD147506b: A Super-Massive Planet in an Eccentric Orbit Transiting a Bright Star
G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs, G. Torres +18
We report the discovery of a massive (Mp = 9.04+/-0.50 MJup) planet transiting the bright (V = 8.7) F8 star HD 147506, with an orbital period of 5.63341+/-0.00013 days and an eccen…
HAT-P-1b: A Large-Radius, Low-Density Exoplanet Transiting one Member of a Stellar Binary
G. A. Bakos, R. W. Noyes, G. Kovacs +16
Using small automated telescopes in Arizona and Hawaii, the HATNet project has detected an object transiting one member of the double star system ADS 16402 AB. This system is a pai…
An Adaptive Optics Survey for Companions to Stars with Extra-Solar Planets
J. P. Lloyd, M. C. Liu, J. R. Graham +12
We have undertaken an adaptive optics (AO) imaging survey of extrasolar planetary systems and stars showing interesting radial velocity trends from high precision radial velocity s…
