HATNet Field G205: Follow-Up Observations of 28 Transiting-Planet candidates and Confirmation of the Planet HAT-P-8b

David W. Latham, Gáspár Á. Bakos, Guillermo Torres +16

We report the identification of 32 transiting-planet candidates in HATNet field G205. We describe the procedures that we have used to follow up these candidates with spectroscopic…

HAT-P-9b: A Low Density Planet Transiting a Moderately Faint F star

Avi Shporer, Gaspar A. Bakos, Francois Bouchy +14

We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately faint (V=12.3 mag) late F star, with an orbital period of 3.92289 +/- 0.00004 days. From the transit light curve and rad…

HAT-P-7b: An Extremely Hot Massive Planet Transiting a Bright Star in the Kepler Field

A. Pal, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +14

We report on the latest discovery of the HATNet project; a very hot giant planet orbiting a bright (V = 10.5) star with a small semi-major axis of a = 0.0377 +/- 0.0005 AU. Ephemer…

HAT-P-5b: A Jupiter-like hot Jupiter Transiting a Bright Star

G. A. Bakos, A. Shporer, A. Pal +17

We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately bright (V = 12.00) G star, with an orbital period of 2.788491 +/-0.000025 days. From the transit light curve we determin…

HAT-P-4b: A metal-rich low-density transiting hot Jupiter

G. Kovacs, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +14

We describe the discovery of HAT-P-4b, a low-density extrasolar planet transiting BD+36 2593, a V = 11.2 mag slightly evolved metal-rich late F star. The planet's orbital period is…

Computation of the Fourier parameters of RR Lyrae stars by template fitting

G. Kovacs, G. Kupi

Due to the importance of accurate Fourier parameters, we devise a method that is more appropriate for deriving these parameters on low-quality data than the traditional Fourier fit…
