Optical transmission photometry of the highly inflated exoplanet WASP-17b
J. Bento, P. J. Wheatley, C. M. Copperwheat +7
We present ground-based high-precision observations of the transit of WASP-17b using the multi-band photometer ULTRACAM on ESO's NTT in the context of performing transmission spect…
Transmission photometry of WASP-12b: simultaneous measurement of the planetary radius in three bands
C. M. Copperwheat, P. J. Wheatley, J. Southworth +6
Transmission spectroscopy has been successfully used from both the ground and in space to characterise the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. This technique is challenging from…
WASP-50b: a hot Jupiter transiting a moderately active solar-type star
M. Gillon, A. P. Doyle, M. Lendl +22
We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of a giant planet in a close orbit (0.0295+-0.0009 AU) around a moderately bright (V=11.6, K=10) G9 dwarf (0.89+-0.08 M_sun, 0.84…
WASP-40b: independent discovery of the 0.6-Mjup transiting exoplanet HAT-P-27b
D. R. Anderson, S. C. C. Barros, I. Boisse +23
From WASP photometry and SOPHIE radial velocities we report the discovery of WASP-40b (HAT-P-27b), a 0.6 Mjup planet that transits its 12th magnitude host star every 3.04 days. The…
WASP-34b: a near-grazing transiting sub-Jupiter-mass exoplanet in a hierarchical triple system
B. Smalley, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +19
We report the discovery of WASP-34b, a sub-Jupiter-mass exoplanet transiting its 10.4-magnitude solar-type host star (1SWASP J110135.89-235138.4; TYC 6636-540-1) every 4.3177 days…
WASP-37b: a 1.8 MJ exoplanet transiting a metal-poor star
E. K. Simpson, F. Faedi, S. C. C. Barros +39
We report on the discovery of WASP-37b, a transiting hot Jupiter orbiting a mv = 12.7 G2-type dwarf, with a period of 3.577471 \pm 0.00001 d, transit epoch T0 = 2455338.6188 \pm 0.…
