Kepler-14b: A massive hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual binary

Lars A. Buchhave, David W. Latham, Joshua A. Carter +46

We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (0.3" sky projected angular separation) binary system. The dilution of the host star's light by the…
