The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in…
WTS-2 b: a hot Jupiter orbiting near its tidal destruction radius around a K-dwarf
J. L. Birkby, M. Cappetta, P. Cruz +34
We report the discovery of WTS-2 b, an unusually close-in 1.02-day hot Jupiter (Mp=1.12MJ, Rp=1.363RJ) orbiting a K2V star, which has a possible gravitationally-bound M-dwarf compa…
A sensitivity analysis of the WFCAM Transit Survey for short-period giant planets around M dwarfs
Gábor Kovács, S. Hodgkin, B. Sipőcz +11
The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) is a near-infrared transit survey running on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), designed to discover planets around M dwarfs. The WTS act…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +36
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Light cur…
HAT-P-39b--HAT-P-41b: Three Highly Inflated Transiting Hot Jupiters
J. D. Hartman, G. Á. Bakos, B. Béky +26
We report the discovery of three new transiting extrasolar planets orbiting moderately bright (V=11.1 to 12.4) F stars. The planets have periods of P = 2.6940 d to 4.4572 d, masses…
HATSouth: a global network of fully automated identical wide-field telescopes
G. Á. Bakos, Z. Csubry, K. Penev +21
HATSouth is the world's first network of automated and homogeneous telescopes that is capable of year-round 24-hour monitoring of positions over an entire hemisphere of the sky. Th…
Comprehensive time series analysis of the transiting extrasolar planet WASP-33b
G. Kovács, T. Kovács, J. D. Hartman +6
HD 15082 (WASP-33) is the hottest and fastest rotating star known to harbor a transiting extrasolar planet (WASP-33b). The lack of high precision radial velocity (RV) data stresses…
HAT-P-15b: A 10.9-day Extrasolar Planet Transiting a Solar-type Star
G. Kovács, G. Á. Bakos, J. D. Hartman +16
We report the discovery of HAT-P-15b, a transiting extrasolar planet in the `period valley', a relatively sparsely-populated period regime of the known extrasolar planets. The host…
