Physical properties of the 0.94-day period transiting planetary system WASP-18
John Southworth, T. C. Hinse, M. Dominik +24
We present high-precision photometry of five consecutive transits of WASP-18, an extrasolar planetary system with one of the shortest orbital periods known. Through the use of tele…
The masses and radii of HD186753B and TYC7096-222-1B: the discovery of two M-dwarfs that eclipse A-type stars
S. J. Bentley, B. Smalley, P. F. L. Maxted +10
We present observations of two new single-lined eclipsing binaries, both consisting of an Am star and an M-dwarf, discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets transit photometry…
A survey for post common-envelope binary stars using GALEX and SDSS photometry
P. F. L. Maxted, B. T. Gaensicke, M. R. Burleigh +5
We report the first results of our programme to obtain multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars with a strong far-UV excess to identify post common-envelope binaries (PCEB…
A Stellar Flare during the Transit of the Extrasolar Planet OGLE-TR-10b
Samuel Bentley, Coel Hellier, Pierre Maxted +4
We report a stellar flare occurring during a transit of the exoplanet OGLE-TR-10b, an event not previously reported in the literature. This reduces the observed transit depth, part…
WASP-16b: A new Jupiter-like planet transiting a southern solar analog
T. A. Lister, D. R. Anderson, M. Gillon +29
We report the discovery from WASP-South of a new Jupiter-like extrasolar planet, WASP-16b, which transits its solar analog host star every 3.12 days. Analysis of the transit photom…
The main-sequence rotation-colour relation in the Coma Berenices open cluster
A. Collier Cameron, V. A. Davidson, L. Hebb +24
We present the results of a photometric survey of rotation rates in the Coma Berenices (Melotte 111) open cluster, using data obtained as part of the SuperWASP exoplanetary transit…
WASP-17b: an ultra-low density planet in a probable retrograde orbit
D. R. Anderson, C. Hellier, M. Gillon +18
We report the discovery of the transiting giant planet WASP-17b, the least-dense planet currently known. It is 1.6 Saturn masses but 1.5-2 Jupiter radii, giving a density of 6-14 p…
VLT transit and occultation photometry for the bloated planet CoRoT-1b
M. Gillon, B. -O. Demory, A. H. M. J. Triaud +7
We present VLT eclipse photometry for the giant planet CoRoT-1b. We observed a transit in the R-band filter and an occultation in a narrow filter centered on 2.09 microns. Our anal…
The 0.5M transiting exoplanet WASP-13b
I. Skillen, D. Pollacco, A. Collier Cameron +32
We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of days. The transit has a de…
The low density transiting exoplanet WASP-15b
R. G. West, D. R. Anderson, M. Gillon +20
We report the discovery of a low-density exoplanet transiting an 11th magnitude star in the Southern hemisphere. WASP-15b, which orbits its host star with a period P=3.7520656+-0.0…
Discovery and characterization of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting a solar-type star
M. Gillon, D. R. Anderson, A. H. M. J. Triaud +21
We report the discovery of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting every 3.3610060 +0.0000022-0.0000035 days a mildly metal-poor solar-type star of magnitude V=11.9…
The HYPERMUCHFUSS Campaign -- an undiscovered high velocity population
Alfred Tillich, Stephan Geier, Uli Heber +7
We present an overview and a status report of HYPERMUCHFUSS (HYPER velocity or Massive Unseen Companions of Hot Faint Underluminious Stars Survey) aiming at the detection of a popu…
WASP-12b: The hottest transiting planet yet discovered
L. Hebb, A. Collier-Cameron, B. Loeillet +15
We report on the discovery of WASP-12b, a new transiting extrasolar planet with and . The planet and host star propertie…
