- Description:
- The central parsec around the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center (GC) hosts more than 100 young and massive stars. Outside the central cusp (R~1") the majority of these O and Wolf-Rayet (W-R) stars reside in a main clockwise system, plus a second, less prominent disk or streamer system at large angles with respect to the main system. Here we present the results from new observations of the GC with the AO-assisted near-infrared imager NACO and the integral field spectrograph SINFONI on the ESO/VLT. These include the detection of 27 new reliably measured W-R/O stars in the central 12" and improved measurements of 63 previously detected stars, with proper motion uncertainties reduced by a factor of 4 compared to our earlier work. Based on the sample of 90 well measured W-R/O stars, we develop a detailed statistical analysis of their orbital properties and orientations. We show that half of the W-R/O stars are compatible with being members of a clockwise rotating system.

- Description:
- From a comparison of the different parameters of warped galaxies in the radio, and especially in the visible, we find that: a) No large galaxy (large mass or radius) has been found to have high amplitude in the warp, and there is no correlation of size/mass with the degree of asymmetry of the warp. b) The disc density and the ratio of dark to luminous mass show an opposing trend: smaller values give more asymmetric warps in the inner radii (optical warps) but show no correlation with the amplitude of the warp; however, in the external radii is there no correlation with asymmetry. c) A third anticorrelation appears in a comparison of the amplitude and degree of asymmetry in the warped galaxies. Hence, it seems that very massive dark matter haloes have nothing to do with the formation of warps but only with the degree of symmetry in the inner radii, and are unrelated to the warp shape for the outermost radii. Denser discs show the same dependence.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two hot-Jupiter planets, one orbiting each star of a wide binary system. WASP-94A (2MASS 20550794-3408079) is an F8 type star hosting a transiting planet with a radius of 1.72+/-0.06R_Jup_, a mass of 0.445+/ 0.026M_Jup_ and an orbital period of 3.95 days. The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect is clearly detected and the measured projected spin-orbit angle indicates that the planet occupies a retrograde orbit. WASP-94B (2MASS 20550915-3408078) is an F9 stellar companion at an angular separation of 15" (projected separation 2700AU), hosting a gas giant of minimum mass 0.617+/-0.028M_Jup_ with a period of 2.008-days, detected by Doppler measurements. The orbital planes of the two planets are inclined relative to each other, indicating that at least one of them is inclined relative to the plane of the stellar binary. These hot Jupiters in a binary system bring new insights into the formation of close-in giant planets and the role of stellar multiplicity.

- Description:
- This paper introduces a series of papers aiming to study the dozens of low mass eclipsing binaries (EBLM), with F, G, K primaries, that have been discovered in the course of the WASP survey. Our objects are mostly single-line binaries whose eclipses have been detected by WASP and were initially followed up as potential planetary transit candidates. These have bright primaries, which facilitates spectroscopic observations during transit and allows the study of the spin-orbit distribution of F, G, K+M eclipsing binaries through the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect.

- Description:
- We report three newly discovered exoplanets from the SuperWASP survey. WASP-127b is a heavily inflated super-Neptune of mass 0.18+/-0.02 M_J_ and radius 1.37+/-0.04 R_J_. This is one of the least massive planets discovered by the WASP project. It orbits a bright host star (Vmag=10.16) of spectral type G5 with a period of 4.17 days. WASP-127b is a low-density planet that has an extended atmosphere with a scale height of 2500+/-400km, making it an ideal candidate for transmission spectroscopy. WASP-136b and WASP-138b are both hot Jupiters with mass and radii of 1.51+/-0.08M_J_ and 1.38+/-0.16R_J_, and 1.22+/-0.08M_J_ and 1.09+/-0.05R_J_, respectively. WASP-136b is in a 5.22-day orbit around an F9 subgiant star with a mass of 1.41+/-0.07M_{sun}_ and a radius of 2.21+/-0.22R_{sun}_. The discovery of WASP-136b could help constrain the characteristics of the giant planet population around evolved stars. WASP-138b orbits an F7 star with a period of 3.63 days. Its radius agrees with theoretical values from standard models, suggesting the presence of a heavy element core with a mass of ~10M_{earth}_. The discovery of these new planets helps in exploring the diverse compositional range of short-period planets, and will aid our understanding of the physical characteristics of both gas giants and low-density planets.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two additional planetary companions to WASP-41 and WASP-47. WASP-41c is a planet of minimum mass 3.18+/-0.20M_Jup_ and eccentricity 0.29+/-0.02, and it orbits in 421+/-2-days. WASP-47c is a planet of minimum mass 1.24+/-0.22M_Jup_ and eccentricity 0.13+/-0.10, and it orbits in 572+/-7-days. Unlike most of the planetary systems that include a hot Jupiter, these two systems with a hot Jupiter have a long-period planet located at only about 1AU from their host star. WASP-41 is a rather young star known to be chromospherically active. To differentiate its magnetic cycle from the radial velocity effect induced by the second planet, we used the emission in the Halpha line and find this indicator well suited to detecting the stellar activity pattern and the magnetic cycle. The analysis of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect induced by WASP-41b suggests that the planet could be misaligned, though an aligned orbit cannot be excluded. WASP-47 has recently been found to host two additional transiting super Earths. With such an unprecedented architecture, the WASP-47 system will be very important for understanding planetary migration.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two new transiting planets from the WASP survey. WASP-42 b is a 0.500+/-0.035M_Jup_ planet orbiting a K1 star at a separation of 0.0548+/-0.0017AU with a period of 4.9816872+/-7.3x10^-6^days. The radius of WASP-42 b is 1.080+/-0.057R_Jup_ while its equilibrium temperature is T_eq_=995+/-34K. We detect some evidence for a small but non-zero eccentricity of e=0.060+/-0.013. WASP-49 b is a 0.378+/-0.027M_Jup_ planet around an old G6 star. It has a period of 2.7817387+/-5.6x10^-6^days and a separation of 0.0379+/-0.0011AU. This planet is slightly bloated, having a radius of 1.115+/-0.047R_Jup_ and an equilibrium temperature of T_eq_=1369+/-39K. Both planets have been followed up photometrically, and in total we have obtained 5 full and one partial transit light curves of WASP-42 and 4 full and one partial light curves of WASP-49 using the Euler-Swiss, TRAPPIST and Faulkes South telescopes.

- Description:
- We report on spectroscopic and photometric observations through transits of the exoplanets WASP-22b and WASP-26b, intended to determine the systems' spin-orbit angles. We combine these data with existing data to refine the system parameters. We measure a sky-projected spin-orbit angle of 22+/-16 degrees for WASP-22b, showing the planet's orbit to be prograde and, perhaps, slightly misaligned. We do not detect the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of WASP-26b due to its low amplitude and observation noise. We place 3-sigma upper limits on orbital eccentricity of 0.063 for WASP-22b and 0.050 for WASP-26b. After refining the drift in the systemic velocity of WASP-22 found by Maxted et al. (2010AJ....140.2007M), we find the third body in the system to have a separation-scaled minimum-mass of 5.3+/-0.3M_Jup_ (a3/5AU)^2^, where a3 is the orbital separation of the third body.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of WASP-78b and WASP-79b, two highly-bloated Jupiter-mass exoplanets orbiting F-type host stars. WASP-78b orbits its V=12.0 host star (TYC 5889-271-1) every 2.175 days and WASP-79b orbits its V=10.1 host star (CD-30 1812) every 3.662 days. Planetary parameters have been determined using a simultaneous fit to WASP and TRAPPIST transit photometry and CORALIE radial-velocity measurements. For WASP-78b a planetary mass of 0.89+/-0.08M_Jup_ and a radius of 1.70+/-0.11R_Jup_ is found. The planetary equilibrium temperature of T_P_=2350+/-80K for WASP-78b makes it one of the hottest of the currently known exoplanets. WASP-79b its found to have a planetary mass of 0.90+/-0.08M_Jup_, but with a somewhat uncertain radius due to lack of sufficient TRAPPIST photometry. The planetary radius is at least 1.70+/-0.11R_Jup_, but could be as large as 2.09+/-0.14R_Jup_, which would make WASP-79b the largest known exoplanet.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of the planets WASP-20b and WASP-28b along with measurements of their sky-projected orbital obliquities. WASP-20b is an inflated, Saturn-mass planet (0.31M_Jup_; 1.46R_Jup_) in a 4.9-day, near-aligned (lambda=12.7+/-4.2{deg}) orbit around CD-24 102 (V=10.7; F9). Due to the low density of the planet and the apparent brightness of the host star, WASP-20 is a good target for atmospheric characterisation via transmission spectroscopy. WASP-28b is an inflated, Jupiter-mass planet (0.91M_Jup_; 1.21R_Jup_) in a 3.4-day, near-aligned (lambda=8+/-18{deg}) orbit around a V=12, F8 star. As intermediate-mass planets in short orbits around aged, cool stars (7^+2^_-1_Gyr and 6000+/-100K for WASP-20; 5^+3^_-2_Gyr and 6100+/-150K for WASP-28), their orbital alignment is consistent with the hypothesis that close-in giant planets are scattered into eccentric orbits with random alignments, which are then circularised and aligned with their stars' spins via tidal dissipation.
