J band Variability of M Dwarfs in the WFCAM Transit Survey
N. T. Goulding, J. R. Barnes, D. J. Pinfield +11
We present an analysis of the photometric variability of M dwarfs in the WFCAM Transit Survey. Although periodic lightcurve variability in low mass stars is generally dominated by…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +36
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Light cur…
The signature of orbital motion from the dayside of the planet tau Bootis b
M. Brogi, I. A. G. Snellen, R. J. de Kok +3
The giant planet orbiting tau Bootis was among the first extrasolar planets to be discovered through the reflex motion of its host star. It is one of the brightest known and most n…
Discovery and characterisation of detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
J. L. Birkby, S. V. Nefs, S. T. Hodgkin +17
We report the discovery of 16 detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries with J<16 mag and provide a detailed characterisation of three of them, using high-precision infrared light curves…
Four ultra-short period eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
S. V. Nefs, J. L. Birkby, I. A. G. Snellen +16
We report on the discovery of four ultra-short period (P<0.18 days) eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey. Their orbital periods are significantly shorter than of…
