Transit Timing of the White Dwarf-cold Jupiter System WD 1856+534
Eli A. Gendreau-Distler, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +17
We present new transit-timing measurements for the white dwarf-cold Jupiter system WD 1856+534, extending the baseline of observations from 311 epochs to 1498 epochs. The planet is…
Searching for Tidal Orbital Decay in Hot Jupiters
Efrain Alvarado, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +18
We study transits of several ``hot Jupiter'' systems - including WASP-12 b, WASP-43 b, WASP-103 b, HAT-P-23 b, KELT-16 b, WD 1856+534 b, and WTS-2 b - with the goal of detecting ti…
The continuing search for evidence of tidal orbital decay of hot Jupiters
Kishore C. Patra, Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman +15
Many of the known hot Jupiters are formally unstable to tidal orbital decay. The only hot Jupiter for which orbital decay has been directly detected is WASP-12, for which transit t…
The Orbit of WASP-12b is Decaying
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Heather A. Knutson +6
WASP-12b is a transiting hot Jupiter on a 1.09-day orbit around a late-F star. Since the planet's discovery in 2008, the time interval between transits has been decreasing by $29\p…
The Apparently Decaying Orbit of WASP-12
Kishore C. Patra, Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman +3
We present new transit and occultation times for the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The data are compatible with a constant period derivative: ms yr and $P/\dot{P…
