Tidally Distorted Exoplanets: Density Corrections for Short-Period Hot-Jupiters based solely on Observable Parameters
John Burton, Christopher Watson, Alan Fitzsimmons +4
The close proximity of short period hot-Jupiters to their parent star means they are subject to extreme tidal forces. This has a profound effect on their structure and, as a result…
Finding Exoplanets Orbiting Young Active Stars. I. Technique
V. E. Moulds, C. A. Watson, X. Bonfils +2
Stellar activity, such as starspots, can induce radial velocity (RV) variations that can mask or even mimic the RV signature of orbiting exoplanets. For this reason RV exoplanet su…
Stellar jitter from variable gravitational redshift: implications for RV confirmation of habitable exoplanets
H. M. Cegla, C. A. Watson, T. R. Marsh +6
A variation of gravitational redshift, arising from stellar radius fluctuations, will introduce astrophysical noise into radial velocity measurements by shifting the centroid of th…
WASP-35b, WASP-48b and WASP-51b: Two new planets and an independent discovery of HAT-P-30b
B. Enoch, D. R. Anderson, S. C. C. Barros +36
We report the detection of WASP-35b, a planet transiting a metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -0.15) star in the Southern hemisphere, WASP-48b, an inflated planet which may have spun-up its slig…
WASP-39b: a highly inflated Saturn-mass planet orbiting a late G-type star
F. Faedi, S. C. C. Barros, D. R. Anderson +30
We present the discovery of WASP-39b, a highly inflated transiting Saturn-mass planet orbiting a late G-type dwarf star with a period of \,d, Transit Epoch T…
WASP-38b: A Transiting Exoplanet in an Eccentric, 6.87d Period Orbit
S. C. C. Barros, F. Faedi, A. Collier Cameron +31
We report the discovery of WASP-38b, a long period transiting planet in an eccentric 6.871815 day orbit. The transit epoch is 2455335.92050 +/- 0.00074 (HJD) and the transit durati…
