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…

Confirmation of an exoplanet using the transit color signature: Kepler-418b, a blended giant planet in a multiplanet system

B. Tingley, H. Parviainen, D. Gandolfi +7

We announce confirmation of Kepler-418b, one of two proposed planets in this system. This is the first confirmation of an exoplanet based primarily on the transit color signature t…

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…

The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey I: OSIRIS transmission spectroscopy of the short period planet WASP-43b

F. Murgas, E. Palle, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +3

We used GTC instrument OSIRIS to obtain long-slit spectra in the optical range (520-1040 nm) of the planetary host star WASP-43 (and a reference star) during a full primary transit…
