Detectability of shape deformation in short-period exoplanets
B. Akinsanmi, S. C. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +4
Short-period planets suffer from extreme tidal forces from their parent stars causing them to deform and attain non-spherical shapes. The planet shapes, modeled here as triaxial el…
qpower2 - a fast and accurate algorithm for the computation of exoplanet transit light curves with the power-2 limb-darkening law
P. F. L. Maxted, S. Gill
The power-2 law, , accurately represents the limb-darkening profile for cool stars. It has been implemented in a few transit models to-date using numerical i…
Machine-learning Approaches to Exoplanet Transit Detection and Candidate Validation in Wide-field Ground-based Surveys
N. Schanche, A. Collier Cameron, G. Hébrard +23
Since the start of the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) program, more than 160 transiting exoplanets have been discovered in the WASP data. In the past, possible transit-like e…
WASP-190b: Tomographic discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter
L. Y. Temple, C. Hellier, Y. Almleaky +22
We report the discovery of WASP-190b, an exoplanet on a 5.37-day orbit around a mildly-evolved F6 IV-V star with V = 11.7, T_eff = 6400 100 K, M = 1.35 0.05 M_sun…
WASP-166b: a bloated super-Neptune transiting a V = 9 star
Coel Hellier, D. R. Anderson, A. H. M. J. Triaud +21
We report the discovery of WASP-166b, a super-Neptune planet with a mass of 0.1 Mjup (1.9 Mnep) and a bloated radius of 0.63 Rjup. It transits a V = 9.36, F9V star in a 5.44-d orbi…
WASP-128b: a transiting brown dwarf in the dynamical-tide regime
V. Hodžić, A. H. M. J. Triaud, D. R. Anderson +15
Massive companions in close orbits around G dwarfs are thought to undergo rapid orbital decay due to runaway tidal dissipation. We report here the discovery of WASP-128b, a brown d…
WASP-147b, 160Bb, 164b and 165b: two hot Saturns and two Jupiters, including two planets with metal-rich hosts
M. Lendl, D. R. Anderson, A. Bonfanti +20
We report the discovery of four transiting hot Jupiters, WASP-147, WASP-160B, WASP-164 and WASP-165 from the WASP survey. WASP-147b is a near Saturn-mass () objec…
New transiting hot Jupiters discovered by WASP-South, Euler/CORALIE and TRAPPIST-South
Coel Hellier, D. R. Anderson, F. Bouchy +16
We report the discovery of eight hot-Jupiter exoplanets from the WASP-South transit survey. WASP-144b has a mass of 0.44 Mj, a radius of 0.85 Rj, and is in a 2.27-d orbit around a…
Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit
L. Y. Temple, C. Hellier, Y. Almleaky +23
We report the discovery and tomographic detection of WASP-174b, a planet with a near-grazing transit on a 4.23-d orbit around a = 11.9, F6V star with [Fe/H] = 0.09 0.09.…
