The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35
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 (UKIRT) in…
WTS-2 b: a hot Jupiter orbiting near its tidal destruction radius around a K-dwarf
J. L. Birkby, M. Cappetta, P. Cruz +34
We report the discovery of WTS-2 b, an unusually close-in 1.02-day hot Jupiter (Mp=1.12MJ, Rp=1.363RJ) orbiting a K2V star, which has a possible gravitationally-bound M-dwarf compa…
A highly unequal-mass eclipsing M-dwarf binary in the WFCAM Transit Survey
S. V. Nefs, J. L. Birkby, I. A. G. Snellen +6
In this paper we present the discovery of a highly unequal-mass eclipsing M-dwarf binary, providing a unique constraint on binary star formation theory and on evolutionary models f…
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…
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…
Dwarf novae in the Hamburg Quasar Survey: Rarer than expected
A. Aungwerojwit, B. T. Gaensicke, P. Rodriguez-Gil +12
We report the discovery of five new dwarf novae from the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS), and discuss the properties of the sample of dwarf novae in the HQS. The orbital periods of the…
