HAT-P-6b: A Hot Jupiter transiting a bright F star
R. W. Noyes, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +17
In the ongoing HATNet survey we have detected a giant planet, with radius 1.33 +/- 0.06 RJup and mass 1.06 +/- 0.12 MJup, transiting the bright (V = 10.5) star GSC 03239-00992. The…
HAT-P-3b: A heavy-element rich planet transiting a K dwarf star
G. Torres, G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs +13
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-size planet transiting a relatively bright (V = 11.56) and metal-rich early K dwarf star with a period of about 2.9 days. On the basis of follo…
HD147506b: A Super-Massive Planet in an Eccentric Orbit Transiting a Bright Star
G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs, G. Torres +18
We report the discovery of a massive (Mp = 9.04+/-0.50 MJup) planet transiting the bright (V = 8.7) F8 star HD 147506, with an orbital period of 5.63341+/-0.00013 days and an eccen…
The Challenge of Wide-Field Transit Surveys: The Case of GSC 01944-02289
Georgi Mandushev, Guillermo Torres, David W. Latham +7
Wide-field searches for transiting extra-solar giant planets face the difficult challenge of separating true transit events from the numerous false positives caused by isolated or…
TrES-1: The Transiting Planet of a Bright K0V Star
Roi Alonso, Timothy M. Brown, Guillermo Torres +9
We report the detection of a transiting Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a relatively bright (V=11.79) K0V star. We detected the transit light-curve signature in the course of the TrE…
Spatially Resolved STIS Spectroscopy of Betelgeuse's Outer Atmosphere
A. Lobel, J. Aufdenberg, A. K. Dupree +3
We present spatially resolved spectra observed with HST-STIS of the upper chromosphere and dust envelope of Alpha Orionis (M2 Iab). In the fall of 2002 a set of five high-resolutio…
