OGLE-2015-BLG-1395Lb: A Cold Sub-Saturn Mass Planet Orbiting an M Dwarf
Andrew A. Cole, Joshua W. Blackman, Jean-Philippe Beaulieu +75
We present an analysis of the high-magnification microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1395 and report the discovery of a sub-Saturn mass companion to the lens. Photometric coverage of…
Long-term monitoring of WASP-19 b: Signs of apsidal precession and molecular signatures
A. R. Rajkumar, A. Bayo, P. Peng +30
With more than 6000 exoplanets discovered so far, about 12 percent are hot Jupiters. Their large sizes and short orbital periods make them valuable targets for studying planetary f…
A search for transit timing variations in the transiting hot Jupiter systems HIP 65, NGTS-6, NGTS-10 and WASP-173
A. W. Griffiths, J. Southworth, L. Alegre +30
Hot Jupiters are Jupiter-mass planets with orbital periods of less than ten days. Their short orbital separations make tidal dissipation within the stellar host especially efficien…
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-2015-BLG-1609Lb: Sub-jovian planet orbiting a low-mass stellar or brown dwarf host
M. J. Mróz, R. Poleski, A. Udalski +70
We present a comprehensive analysis of a planetary microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-1609. The planetary anomaly was detected by two survey telescopes, OGLE and MOA. Each of these s…
High-resolution Imaging of Transiting Extrasolar Planetary systems (HITEP). II. Lucky Imaging results from 2015 and 2016
D. F. Evans, J. Southworth, B. Smalley +33
The formation and dynamical history of hot Jupiters is currently debated, with wide stellar binaries having been suggested as a potential formation pathway. Additionally, contamina…
Faint source star planetary microlensing: the discovery of the cold gas giant planet OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb
N. J. Rattenbury, D. P. Bennett, T. Sumi +85
We report the discovery of a planet --- OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb --- via gravitational microlensing. Observations for the lensing event were made by the MOA, OGLE, Wise, RoboNET/LCOGT,…
Orbital alignment and starspot properties in the WASP-52 planetary system
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, G. Raia +27
We report 13 high-precision light curves of eight transits of the exoplanet WASP-52b, obtained by using four medium-class telescopes, through different filters, and adopting the de…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VIII. WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55
John Southworth, J. Tregloan-Reed, M. I. Andersen +47
We present 13 high-precision and four additional light curves of four bright southern-hemisphere transiting planetary systems: WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55. In the cases o…
Larger and faster: revised properties and a shorter orbital period for the WASP-57 planetary system from a pro-am collaboration
John Southworth, L. Mancini, J. Tregloan-Reed +36
Transits in the WASP-57 planetary system have been found to occur half an hour earlier than expected. We present ten transit light curves from amateur telescopes, on which this dis…
Transits and starspots in the WASP-6 planetary system
Jeremy Tregloan-Reed, John Southworth, M. Burgdorf +27
We present updates to \textsc{prism}, a photometric transit-starspot model, and \textsc{gemc}, a hybrid optimisation code combining MCMC and a genetic algorithm. We then present hi…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VII. The ultra-short period planet WASP-103
John Southworth, L. Mancini, S. Ciceri +25
We present 17 transit light curves of the ultra-short period planetary system WASP-103, a strong candidate for the detection of tidally-induced orbital decay. We use these to estab…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. V. WASP-15 and WASP-16
J. Southworth, L. Mancini, P. Browne +40
We present new photometric observations of WASP-15 and WASP-16, two transiting extrasolar planetary systems with measured orbital obliquities but without photometric follow-up sinc…
Physical properties, transmission and emission spectra of the WASP-19 planetary system from multi-colour photometry
L. Mancini, S. Ciceri, G. Chen +43
We present new ground-based, multi-colour, broad-band photometric measurements of the physical parameters, transmission and emission spectra of the transiting extrasolar planet WAS…
Transits and starspots in the WASP-19 planetary system
Jeremy Tregloan-Reed, John Southworth, C. Tappert
We have developed a new model for analysing light curves of planetary transits when there are starspots on the stellar disc. Because the parameter space contains a profusion of loc…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. IV. Confirmation of the huge radius of WASP-17b
John Southworth, M Dominik, X-S Fang +29
We present photometric observations of four transits in the WASP-17 planetary system, obtained using telescope defocussing techniques and with scatters reaching 0.5 mmag per point.…
