- Description:
- We report the discovery of WASP-6b, an inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting every 3.3610060^+0.0000022^_-0.0000035_days a mildly metal-poor solar-type star of magnitude V=11.9. A combined analysis of the WASP photometry, high-precision followup transit photometry and radial velocities yield a planetary mass M_p_=0.503^+0.019^_-0.038_ and radius R_p_=1.224^+0.051^_0.052_, resulting in a density {rho}_p_=0.27{+/-}0.05{rho}_J_. The mass and radius for the host star are M_*_=0.88^+0.05^-0.08_M_{sun}_ and R_*_=0.870^0.025^_-0.036_R_{sun}_. The non-zero orbital eccentricity e=0.054^+0.018^_-0.015_ that we measure suggests that the planet underwent a massive tidal heating ~1Gyr ago that could have contributed to its inflated radius. High-precision radial velocities obtained during a transit allow us to measure a sky-projected angle between the stellar spin and orbital axis {beta}=11^+14^_-18_{deg}. In addition to similar published measurements, this result favors a dominant migration mechanism based on tidal interactions with a protoplanetary disk.

- Title:
- H-band thermal emission of exoplanet WASP-19b

- Description:
- We present the first ground-based detection of thermal emission from an exoplanet in the H-band. Using HAWK-I on the VLT, we observed an occultation of WASP-19b by its G8V-type host star. WASP-19b is a Jupiter-mass planet with an orbital period of only 19 h, and thus, being highly irradiated, is expected to be hot. We measure an H-band occultation depth of (0.259^+0.046^_-0.044_)%, which corresponds to an H-band brightness temperature of T_H_=2580+/-125K. A cloud-free model of the planet's atmosphere, with no redistribution of energy from day-side to night-side, under predicts the planet/star flux density ratio by a factor of two. As the stellar parameters, and thus the level of planetary irradiation, are well-constrained by measurement, it is likely that our model of the planet's atmosphere is too simple.

- Description:
- To improve the parameters of the HD17156 system (peculiar due to the eccentric and long orbital period of its transiting planet) and constrain the presence of stellar companions. Photometric data were acquired for 4 transits, and high precision radial velocity measurements were simultaneously acquired with SARG at TNG for one transit. The template spectra of HD 17156 was used to derive effective temperature, gravity, and metallicity. A fit of the photometric and spectroscopic data was performed to measure the stellar and planetary radii, and the spin-orbit alignment. Planet orbital elements and ephemeris were derived from the fit. Near infrared adaptive optic images was acquired with ADOPT at TNG. We have found that the star has a radius of R_S_=1.44+/-0.03R_{sun}_ and the planet R_P_=1.02+/-0.08R_{jup}_ The transit ephemeris is T_c_=2454756.73134+/-0.00020+N*21.21663+/-0.00045 BJD. The analysis of the Rossiter-Mclaughlin effect shows that the system is spin orbit aligned with an angle Beta=4.8+/-5.3deg The analysis of high resolution images has not revealed any stellar companion with projected separation between 150 and 1000 AU from HD17156. Here we present the photometric data of the transits of HD 17156b.

- Spitzer search for 19 planets

- Description:
- Short-period super-Earths and Neptunes are now known to be very frequent around solar-type stars. Improving our understanding of these mysterious planets requires the detection of a significant sample of objects suitable for detailed characterization. Searching for the transits of the low-mass planets detected by Doppler surveys is a straightforward way to achieve this goal. Indeed, Doppler surveys target the most nearby main-sequence stars, they regularly detect close-in low-mass planets with significant transit probability, and their radial velocity data constrain strongly the ephemeris of possible transits. In this context, we initiated in 2010 an ambitious Spitzer multi-Cycle transit search project that targeted 25 low-mass planets detected by radial velocity, focusing mainly on the shortest-period planets detected by the HARPS spectrograph. We report here null results for 19 targets of the project. For 16 planets out of 19, a transiting configuration is strongly disfavored or firmly rejected by our data for most planetary compositions.We derive a posterior probability of 83% that none of the probed 19 planets transits (for a prior probability of 22%), which still leaves a significant probability of 17% that at least one of them does transit. Globally, our Spitzer project revealed or confirmed transits for three of its 25 targeted planets, and discarded or disfavored the transiting nature of 20 of them. Our light curves demonstrate for Warm Spitzer excellent photometric precisions: for 14 targets out of 19, we were able to reach standard deviations that were better than 50ppm per 30 min intervals. Combined with its Earth-trailing orbit, which makes it capable of pointing any star in the sky and to monitor it continuously for days, this work confirms Spitzer as an optimal instrument to detect sub-mmag-deep transits on the bright nearby stars targeted by Doppler surveys.

- 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.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass M_p_=0.46^+0.06^_-0.05_ M_J_ transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of 4.35298+/-0.00004days. The transit has a depth of 9mmag, and although our follow-up photometry does not allow us to constrain the impact parameter well (0<b<0.46), with radius in the range R_p_~1.06-1.21R_J_ the location of WASP-13b in the mass-radius plane is nevertheless consistent with H/He-dominated, irradiated, low core mass and core-free theoretical models. The G1V host star is similar to the Sun in mass M_*_=1.03^+0.11^_-0.09_M_{sun}_ and metallicity ([M/H]=0.0+/-0.2, but is possibly older (8.5^+5.5^_-4.9_Gyr).

- Description:
- We report the discovery of the low-density, transiting giant planet WASP-31b. The planet is 0.48 Jupiter masses and 1.55 Jupiter radii. It is in a 3.4-day orbit around a metal-poor, late-F-type, V=11.7 dwarf star, which is a member of a common proper motion pair. In terms of its low density, WASP-31b is second only to WASP-17b, which is a more highly irradiated planet of similar mass.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of WASP-103 b, a new ultra-short-period planet (P=22.2h) transiting a 12.1 V-magnitude F8-type main-sequence star (1.22+/-0.04M_{sun}_, 1.44_-0.03_^+0.05^R_{sun}_, Teff=6110+/-160K). WASP-103 b is significantly more massive (1.49+/-0.09M_Jup_) and larger (1.53_-0.07_^+0.05^R_Jup_) than Jupiter. Its large size and extreme irradiation (~9x10^9^erg/s/cm2) make it an exquisite target for a thorough atmospheric characterization with existing facilities. Furthermore, its orbital distance is less than 20% larger than its Roche radius, meaning that it might be significantly distorted by tides and might experience mass loss through Roche-lobe overflow. It thus represents a new key object for understanding the last stage of the tidal evolution of hot Jupiters.
