High-resolution Imaging of Transiting Extrasolar Planetary systems (HITEP). II. Lucky Imaging results from 2015 and 2016
D. F. Evans, J. Southworth, B. Smalley +33
The formation and dynamical history of hot Jupiters is currently debated, with wide stellar binaries having been suggested as a potential formation pathway. Additionally, contamina…
Orbital alignment and starspot properties in the WASP-52 planetary system
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, G. Raia +27
We report 13 high-precision light curves of eight transits of the exoplanet WASP-52b, obtained by using four medium-class telescopes, through different filters, and adopting the de…
An optical transmission spectrum of the transiting hot Jupiter in the metal-poor WASP-98 planetary system
L. Mancini, M. Giordano, P. Molliere +4
The WASP-98 planetary system represents a rare case of a hot Jupiter hosted by a metal-poor main-sequence star. We present a follow-up study of this system based on multi-band phot…
HATS-15 b and HATS-16 b: Two massive planets transiting old G dwarf stars
S. Ciceri, L. Mancini, T. Henning +28
We report the discovery of HATS-15 b and HATS-16 b, two massive transiting extrasolar planets orbiting evolved ( Gyr) main-sequence stars. The planet HATS-15 b, which is h…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG VIII: Observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterisation of the transiting planetary systems HAT-P-36 and WASP-11/HAT-P-10
L. Mancini, M. Esposito, E. Covino +36
We determine the true and the projected obliquity of HAT-P-36 and WASP-11/HAT-P-10 systems, respectively, which are both composed of a relatively cool star and a hot-Jupiter planet…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VII. The ultra-short period planet WASP-103
John Southworth, L. Mancini, S. Ciceri +25
We present 17 transit light curves of the ultra-short period planetary system WASP-103, a strong candidate for the detection of tidally-induced orbital decay. We use these to estab…
