High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VIII. WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55

John Southworth, J. Tregloan-Reed, M. I. Andersen +47

We present 13 high-precision and four additional light curves of four bright southern-hemisphere transiting planetary systems: WASP-22, WASP-41, WASP-42 and WASP-55. In the cases o…

Physical properties of the planetary systems WASP-45 and WASP-46 from simultaneous multi-band photometry

S. Ciceri, L. Mancini, J. Southworth +45

Accurate measurements of the physical characteristics of a large number of exoplanets are useful to strongly constrain theoretical models of planet formation and evolution, which l…

Caustic Structures and Detectability of Circumbinary Planets in Microlensing

Jacob K. Luhn, Matthew T. Penny, B. Scott Gaudi

Recent discoveries of circumbinary planets in Kepler data show that there is a viable channel of planet formation around binary main sequence stars. Motivated by these discoveries,…

KELT-4Ab: An inflated Hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V~10) component of a hierarchical triple

Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty, Robert J. Siverd +42

We report the discovery of KELT-4Ab, an inflated, transiting Hot Jupiter orbiting the brightest component of a hierarchical triple stellar system. The host star is an F star with $…

Planet Sensitivity from Combined Ground- and Space-based Microlensing Observations

Wei Zhu, Andrew Gould, Charles Beichman +45

To move one step forward toward a Galactic distribution of planets, we present the first planet sensitivity analysis for microlensing events with simultaneous observations from spa…
