Improved parameters for the transiting hot Jupiters WASP-4b and WASP-5b
M. Gillon, B. Smalley, L. Hebb +6
The gaseous giant planets WASP-4b and WASP-5b are transiting 12 magnitude solar-type stars in the Southern hemisphere. The aim of the present work is to refine the parameters of th…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission VI. CoRoT-Exo-3b: The first secure inhabitant of the brown-dwarf desert
M. Deleuil, H. J. Deeg, R. Alonso +2
Context. The CoRoT space mission routinely provides high-precision photometric measurements of thousands of stars that have been continuously observed for months. Aims. The discove…
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets: XIV. Gl 176b, a super-Earth rather than a Neptune, and at a different period
T. Forveille, X. Bonfils, X. Delfosse +10
A 10.24 days Neptune-mass planet was recently announced to orbit the nearby M2 dwarf Gl 176, based on 28 radial velocities measured with the HRS spectrograph on the Hobby-Heberly T…
TW Hydrae: evidence of stellar spots instead of a Hot Jupiter
N. Huelamo, P. Figueira, X. Bonfils +12
TW Hydrae shows significant radial-velocity variations in the optical regime. They have been attributed to a 10 Jupiter Mass planet orbiting the star at 0.04 AU. In this work, we h…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission IV: CoRoT-Exo-4b: A transiting planet in a 9.2 day synchronous orbit
S. Aigrain, A. Collier Cameron, M. Ollivier +32
CoRoT, the first space-based transit search, provides ultra-high precision light curves with continuous time-sampling over periods, of up to 5 months. This allows the detection of…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission V. CoRoT-Exo-4b: Stellar and planetary parameters
C. Moutou, H. Bruntt, T. Guillot +2
The CoRoT satellite has announced its fourth transiting planet (Aigrain et al. 2008) with space photometry. We describe and analyse complementary observations of this system perfor…
