Description:
Ground-based simultaneous multiband transit observations allow an accurate system parameter determination and may lead to the detection and characterization of additional bodies via the transit timing variations (TTVs) method. We aim to (i) characterize the heavily bloated WASP-4b hot Jupiter and its star by measuring system parameters and the dependence of the planetary radius as a function of four (Sloan g', r', i', z') wavelengths and (ii) search for TTVs.

Description:
The transiting extrasolar planet WASP-12b was found to be the one of the most intensely irradiated exoplanets. It is unexpectedly bloated and is losing mass which may accrete into the host star. Our aim was to refine parameters of this intriguing system and search for signs of transit timing variations. We gathered high-precision light curves of two transits of WASP-12b. Assuming various limb darkening laws, we generated best-fitting models and redetermined parameters of the system. Error estimates were derived by the prayer bread method and Monte Carlo simulations. System's parameters obtained by us were found to agree with previous studies within one sigma. Use of the non-linear limb darkening laws resulted in the best- fitting models. With two new mid-transit times, the ephemeris was refined to BJD_TDB_=(2454508.97682+/-0.00020)+(1.09142245+/-0.00000033)E. Interestingly, indications for transit timing variation were detected at the level of 3.4 sigma. This signal could be induced by an additional planet in the system. Simplified numerical simulations showed that a perturber could be a terrestrial-type planet if both planets are in a low-order orbital resonance. However, we emphasise that further observations are needed to confirm variation and to put constraints on properties of the perturber.

Description:
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanets WASP-69b, WASP-70Ab and WASP-84b, each of which orbits a bright star (V~10). WASP-69b is a bloated Saturn-mass planet (0.26M_Jup_, 1.06R_Jup_) in a 3.868-d period around an active, ~1-Gyr, mid-K dwarf. ROSAT detected X-rays 60+/-27" from WASP-69. If the star is the source then the planet could be undergoing mass-loss at a rate of ~10^12^g/s. This is one to two orders of magnitude higher than the evaporation rate estimated for HD 209458b and HD 189733b, both of which have exhibited anomalously large Lyman {alpha} absorption during transit. WASP-70Ab is a sub-Jupiter-mass planet (0.59M_Jup_, 1.16R_Jup_) in a 3.713-d orbit around the primary of a spatially resolved, 9-10-Gyr, G4+K3 binary, with a separation of 3.3 arcsec ( >=800AU). WASP-84b is a sub-Jupiter-mass planet (0.69M_Jup_, 0.94R_Jup_) in an 8.523-d orbit around an active, ~1-Gyr, early-K dwarf. Of the transiting planets discovered from the ground to date, WASP-84b has the third-longest period. For the active stars WASP-69 and WASP-84, we pre-whitened the radial velocities using a low-order harmonic series. We found that this reduced the residual scatter more than did the oft-used method of pre-whitening with a fit between residual radial velocity and bisector span. The system parameters were essentially unaffected by pre-whitening.

Description:
We present the discovery by the WASP-South transit survey of three new transiting hot Jupiters, WASP-161 b, WASP-163 b and WASP-170 b. Follow-up radial velocities obtained with the Euler/CORALIE spectrograph and high-precision transit light curves obtained with the TRAPPIST-North, TRAPPIST-South, SPECULOOS-South, NITES, and Euler telescopes have enabled us to determine the masses and radii for these transiting exoplanets. WASP-161 b completes an orbit around its V=11.1 F6V-type host star in 5.406 days, and has a mass and radius of 2.5+/-0.2M_Jup_ and 1.14+/-0.06R_Jup_ respectively. WASP-163 b has an orbital period of 1.609-days, a mass of 1.9+/-0.2M_Jup_, and a radius of 1.2+/-0.1R_Jup_. Its host star is a V=12.5 G8-type dwarf. WASP-170 b is on a 2.344-days orbit around a G1V-type star of magnitude V=12.8. It has a mass of 1.7+/-0.2M_Jup_ and a radius of 1.14+/-0.09R_Jup_. Given their irradiations (~10^9^erg/s/cm^2^) and masses, the three new planets' sizes are in good agreement with classical structure models of irradiated giant planets.

Description:
We report the discovery of three transiting exoplanets by the SuperWASP survey and the SOPHIE spectrograph with mass and radius determined with a precision better than 15%. WASP-151b and WASP-153b are two hot Saturns with masses, radii, densities and equilibrium temperatures of 0.31^+0.04^_-0.03_M_J_, 1.13^+0.03^_-0.03_R_J_, 0.22^+0.03^_-0.02_rho_J_ and 1,290^+20^_-10_K, and 0.39^+0.02^_-0.02_M_J_, 1.55^+0.10^_-0.08_R_J_, 0.11^+0.02^_-0.02{rho}_J_ and 1,700^+40^ _-40_K, respectively. Their host stars are early G type stars (with magV ~ 13) and their orbital periods are 4.53 and 3.33 days, respectively. WASP-156b is a Super-Neptune orbiting a K type star (magV = 11.6). It has a mass of 0.128^+0.010^_-0.009_M_J_, a radius of 0.51^+0.02^_ -0.02 R_J_, a density of 1.0^+0.1^_-0.1_{rho}_J_, an equilibrium temperature of 970^+30^_-20_K and an orbital period of 3.83 days.

Description:
We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of three new hot Jupiters, WASP-68 b, WASP-73 b and WASP-88 b. WASP-68 b has a mass of 0.95+/-0.03M_Jup_, a radius of 1.24_-0.06_^+0.10^R_Jup_, and orbits a V=10.7 G0-type star (1.24+/-0.03M_{sun}_, 1.69_-0.06_^+0.11^R_{sun}_, Teff=5911+/-60K) with a period of 5.084298+/-0.000015-days. Its size is typical of hot Jupiters with similar masses. WASP-73 b is significantly more massive (1.88_-0.06_^+0.07^M_Jup_) and slightly larger (1.16_-0.08_^+0.12^R_Jup_) than Jupiter. It orbits a V=10.5 F9-type star (1.34_-0.04_^+0.05^M_{sun}_, 2.07_-0.08_^+0.19^R_{sun}_, Teff=6036+/-120K) every 4.08722+/-0.00022-days. Despite its high irradiation (2.3*10^9^erg/s/cm^2^), WASP-73 b has a high mean density (1.20_-0.30_^+0.26^{rho}_Jup_) that suggests an enrichment of the planet in heavy elements. WASP-88 b is a 0.56+/-0.08M_Jup_ planet orbiting a V=11.4 F6-type star (1.45+/-0.05M_{sun}_, 2.08_-0.06_^+0.12^R_{sun}_, Teff=6431+/-130K) with a period of 4.954000+/-0.000019-days. With a radius of 1.70_-0.07_^+0.13^R_Jup_, it joins the handful of planets with super-inflated radii. The ranges of ages we determine through stellar evolution modeling are 4.5-7.0Gyr for WASP-68, 2.8-5.7Gyr for WASP-73 and 1.8-4.3Gyr for WASP-88. WASP-73 appears to be a significantly evolved star, close to or already in the subgiant phase. WASP-68 and WASP-88 are less evolved, although in an advanced stage of core H-burning.

WASP-80b wavelength-binned light curves

Description:
We have performed ground-based transmission spectroscopy of the hot Jupiter orbiting the cool dwarf WASP-80 using the ACAM instrument on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) as part of the Low-Resolution Ground-Based Exoplanet Atmosphere Survey using Transmission Spectroscopy programme. This is the third paper of a ground-based transmission spectroscopy survey of hot Jupiters using low-resolution grism spectrographs. We observed two transits of the planet and have constructed transmission spectra spanning a wavelength range of 4640-8840{AA}. Our transmission spectrum is inconsistent with a previously claimed detection of potassium in WASP-80b's atmosphere, and is instead most consistent with a haze. We also do not see evidence for sodium absorption at a resolution of 100{AA}.

Description:
We present the characterization of two engineered diffusers mounted on the 2.5-meter Nordic Optical Telescope, located at Roque de Los Muchachos, Spain. To assess the reliability and the efficiency of the diffusers, we carried out several test observations of two photometric standard stars, along with observations of one primary transit observation of TrES-3b in the red (R band), one of CoRoT-1b in the blue (B band), and three secondary eclipses of WASP-12b (V band). The achieved photometric precision is in all cases within the submillimagnitude level for exposures between 25 and 180 seconds. Along with a detailed analysis of the functionality of the diffusers, we add a new transit depth measurement in the blue (B band) to the already observed transmission spectrum of CoRoT-1b, disfavoring a Rayleigh slope. We also report variability of the eclipse depth of WASP-12b in the V band. For the WASP-12b secondary eclipses, we observe a secondary depth deviation of about 5 sigma, and a difference of 6 sigma and 2.5 sigma when compared to the values reported by other authors in a similar wavelength range determined from Hubble Space Telescope data. We further speculate about the potential physical processes or causes responsible for this observed variability.

Title:
WASP-44 griz light curves

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present ground-based broad-band photometry of two transits in the WASP-44 planetary system obtained simultaneously through four optical (Sloan g', r', i', z') and three near-infrared (NIR; J, H, K) filters. We achieved low scatters of 1-2mmag per observation in the optical bands with a cadence of roughly 48s, but the NIR-band light curves present much greater scatter. We also observed another transit of WASP-44 b by using a Gunn r filter and telescope defocussing, with a scatter of 0.37 mmag per point and an observing cadence around 135 s. We used these data to improve measurements of the time of mid- transit and the physical properties of the system. In particular, we improved the radius measurements of the star and planet by factors of 3 and 4, respectively. We find that the radius of WASP-44 b is 1.002+/-0.033+/-0.018RJup (statistical and systematic errors, respectively), which is slightly smaller than previously thought and differs from that expected for a core-free planet. In addition, with the help of a synthetic spectrum, we investigated the theoretically predicted variation of the planetary radius as a function of wavelength, covering the range 370-2440nm. We can rule out extreme variations at optical wavelengths, but unfortunately our data are not precise enough (especially in the NIR bands) to differentiate between the theoretical spectrum and a radius which does not change with wavelength. The resulting measurements of transit mid-points were fitted with a straight line to obtain a new orbital ephemeris: T0=BJD(TDB)2455434.37642(37)+2.4238133(23)xE, where E is the number of orbital cycles after the reference epoch [the mid-point of the first transit observed by Anderson et al. (2012, Cat. J/MNRAS/422/1988)] and quantities in parentheses denote the uncertainty in the final digit of the preceding number.

Description:
We present new transit observations of the hot Jupiter WASP-74 b (Teq~1860K) using the high-resolution spectrograph HARPS-N and the multi-colour simultaneous imager MuSCAT2. We refined the orbital properties of the planet and its host star and measured its obliquity for the first time. The measured sky-projected angle between the stellar spin-axis and the orbital axis of the planet is compatible with an orbit that is well-aligned with the equator of the host star ({lambda}=0.77+/-0.99{deg}). We are not able to detect any absorption feature of H{alpha} or any other atomic spectral features in the high-resolution transmission spectra of this source owing to low S/N at the line cores. Despite previous claims regarding the presence of strong optical absorbers such as TiO and VO gases in the atmosphere of WASP-74 b, new ground-based photometry combined with a reanalysis of previously reported observations from the literature show a slope in the low-resolution transmission spectrum that is steeper than expected from Rayleigh scattering alone.
