Transiting planets from WASP-South, Euler and TRAPPIST: WASP-68 b, WASP-73 b and WASP-88 b, three hot Jupiters transiting evolved solar-type stars

L. Delrez, V. Van Grootel, D. R. Anderson +19

We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of three new hot Jupiters, WASP-68 b, WASP-73 b and WASP-88 b. WASP-68 b has a mass of 0.95+-0.03 M_Jup, a radius of 1.24-0.06+0.…

Trawling for transits in a sea of noise: A Search for Exoplanets by Analysis of WASP Optical Lightcurves and Follow-up (SEAWOLF)

E. Gaidos, D. R. Anderson, S. Lepine +12

Studies of transiting Neptune-size planets orbiting close to nearby bright stars can inform theories of planet formation because mass and radius and therefore mean density can be a…

Transiting hot Jupiters from WASP-South, Euler and TRAPPIST: WASP-95b to WASP-101b

Coel Hellier, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +15

We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanets WASP-95b, WASP-96b, WASP-97b, WASP-98b, WASP-99b, WASP-100b and WASP-101b. All are hot Jupiters with orbital periods in the ran…

Three irradiated and bloated hot Jupiters: WASP-76b, WASP-82b & WASP-90b

R. G. West, J. -M. Almenara, D. R. Anderson +22

We report three new transiting hot-Jupiter planets discovered from the WASP surveys combined with radial velocities from OHP/SOPHIE and Euler/CORALIE and photometry from Euler and…

Analysis of spin-orbit alignment in the WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40 systems

D. J. A. Brown, A. Collier Cameron, R. F. Díaz +14

We present measurements of the spin-orbit alignment angle, lambda, for the hot Jupiter systems WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40, based on data obtained using the HARPS spectr…

WASP-8b: Characterization of a Cool and Eccentric Exoplanet with Spitzer

Patricio Cubillos, Joseph Harrington, Nikku Madhusudhan +6

WASP-8b has 2.18 times Jupiter's mass and is on an eccentric () 8.16-day orbit. With a time-averaged equilibrium temperature of 948 K, it is one of the least-irradiated hot…
