The Orbit of WASP-4 b is in Decay

Ö. Baştürk, A. C. Kutluay, A. Barker +25

WASP-4 b is a hot Jupiter exhibiting a decreasing orbital period, prompting investigations into potential mechanisms driving its evolution. We analyzed 173 transit light curves, in…

OGLE-2019-BLG-0825: Constraints on the Source System and Effect on Binary-lens Parameters arising from a Five Day Xallarap Effect in a Candidate Planetary Microlensing Event

Yuki K. Satoh, Naoki Koshimoto, David P. Bennett +86

We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0825. This event was identified as a planetary candidate by preliminary modeling. We find that significant residuals from…

A precise blue-optical transmission spectrum from the ground: Evidence for haze in the atmosphere of WASP-74b

Petros Spyratos, Nikolay K. Nikolov, Savvas Constantinou +5

We report transmission spectroscopy of the bloated hot Jupiter WASP-74b in the wavelength range from 4000 to 6200 Å. We observe two transit events with the Very Large Telescope FOc…

A search for transit timing variations in the HATS-18 planetary system

John Southworth, A. J. Barker, T. C. Hinse +23

HATS-18b is a transiting planet with a large mass and a short orbital period, and is one of the best candidates for the detection of orbital decay induced by tidal effects. We pres…

Precision measurement of a brown dwarf mass in a binary system in the microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-0033/MOA-2019-BLG-035

A. Herald, A. Udalski, V. Bozza +89

Context. Brown dwarfs are poorly understood transition objects between stars and planets, with several competing mechanisms having been proposed for their formation. Mass measureme…

Transmission spectroscopy with VLT FORS2: a featureless spectrum for the low-density transiting exoplanet WASP-88b

Petros Spyratos, Nikolay Nikolov, John Southworth +10

We present ground-based optical transmission spectroscopy of the low-density hot Jupiter WASP-88b covering the wavelength range 4413-8333 Å with the FORS2 spectrograph on the Very…

Transit timing variations in the WASP-4 planetary system

John Southworth, M. Dominik, U. G. Jorgensen +25

Transits in the planetary system WASP-4 were recently found to occur 80s earlier than expected in observations from the TESS satellite. We present 22 new times of mid-transit that…
