- Description:
- The mass domain where massive extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs lie is still poorly understood. Indeed, not even a clear dividing line between massive planets and brown dwarfs has been established yet. This is partly because these objects are very scarce in close orbits around solar-type stars, the so-called brown dwarf desert. Owing to this, it has proven difficult to set up a strong observational base with which to compare models and theories of formation and evolution. We search to increase the current sample of massive sub-stellar objects with precise orbital parameters, and to constrain the true mass of detected sub-stellar candidates

- Description:
- We present radial-velocity measurements obtained in one of a number of programs underway to search for extrasolar planets with the spectrograph SOPHIE at the 1.93-m telescope of the Haute-Provence Observatory. Targets were selected from catalogs observed with ELODIE, which had been mounted previously at the telescope, in order to detect long-period planets with an extended database close to 15 years.

- Description:
- We have used photometry from the WASP-South instrument to identify 5 stars showing planet-like transits in their light curves. The planetary nature of the companions to these stars has been confirmed using photometry from the EulerCam instrument on the Swiss Euler 1.2-m telescope and the TRAPPIST telescope, and spectroscopy obtained with the CORALIE spectrograph. The planets discovered are hot Jupiter systems with orbital periods in the range 2.17 to 5.75 days, masses from 0.3M_{Jup}_ to 1.2M_{Jup}_ and with radii from 1R_{Jup}_ to 1.5R_{Jup}_. These planets orbit bright stars (V=11-13) with spectral types in the range F9 to G4. WASP-126 is the brightest planetary system in this sample and hosts a low-mass planet with a large radius (0.3M_{Jup}_, 0.95R_{Jup}_), making it a good target for transmission spectroscopy. The high density of WASP-129 A suggests that it is a helium-rich star similar to HAT-P-11 A. WASP-133 has an enhanced surface lithium abundance compared to other old G-type stars, particularly other planet host stars. These planetary systems are good targets for follow-up observations with ground-based and space-based facilities to study their atmospheric and dynamical properties.

- Description:
- We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting the V=9.23mag main-sequence A-star KELT-17 (BD+14 1881). KELT-17b is a 1.31_-0.29_^+0.28^M_J_, 1.525_-0.060_^+0.065^R_J_ hot-Jupiter in a 3.08-day period orbit misaligned at -115.9{deg}+/-4.1{deg} to the rotation axis of the star. The planet is confirmed via both the detection of the radial velocity orbit, and the Doppler tomographic detection of the shadow of the planet during two transits. The nature of the spin-orbit misaligned transit geometry allows us to place a constraint on the level of differential rotation in the host star; we find that KELT-17 is consistent with both rigid-body rotation and solar differential rotation rates ({alpha}<0.30 at 2{sigma} significance). KELT-17 is only the fourth A-star with a confirmed transiting planet, and with a mass of 1.635_-0.061_^+0.066^M_{Sun}_, an effective temperature of 7454+/-49K, and a projected rotational velocity of vsinI_*_=44.2_-1.3_^+1.5^km/s; it is among the most massive, hottest, and most rapidly rotating of known planet hosts.

- Description:
- We report the discovery and initial characterization of Qatar-2b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V = 13.3 mag K dwarf in a circular orbit with a short period, P_b_= 1.34 days. The mass and radius of Qatar-2b are M_P_ = 2.49 M_J_ and R_P_= 1.14 R_J_, respectively. Radial-velocity monitoring of Qatar-2 over a span of 153 days revealed the presence of a second companion in an outer orbit. The Systemic Console yielded plausible orbits for the outer companion, with periods on the order of a year and a companion mass of at least several M_J_. Thus, Qatar-2 joins the short but growing list of systems with a transiting hot Jupiter and an outer companion with a much longer period. This system architecture is in sharp contrast to that found by Kepler for multi-transiting systems, which are dominated by objects smaller than Neptune, usually with tightly spaced orbits that must be nearly coplanar.

- Description:
- We report on the discovery of HAT-P-11b, the smallest radius transiting extrasolar planet (TEP) discovered from the ground, and the first hot Neptune discovered to date by transit searches. HAT-P-11b orbits the bright (V=9.587) and metal rich ([Fe/H]=+0.31+/-0.05) K4 dwarf star GSC 03561-02092 with P=4.8878162+/-0.0000071 days and produces a transit signal with depth of 4.2mmag, the shallowest found by transit searches that is due to a confirmed planet. We present a global analysis of the available photometric and radial velocity (RV) data that result in stellar and planetary parameters, with simultaneous treatment of systematic variations. HAT-P-11b orbits in an eccentric orbit with e=0.198+/-0.046 and {omega}=355.2{deg}+/-17.3{deg}, causing a reflex motion of its parent star with amplitude 11.6+/-1.2m/s, a challenging detection due to the high level of chromospheric activity of the parent star. Our ephemeris for the transit events is T_c_=2454605.89132+/-0.00032 (BJD), with duration 0.0957+/-0.0012 days, and secondary eclipse epoch of 2454608.96+/-0.15 days (BJD).

- Description:
- We report the discovery of four transiting extrasolar planets (HAT-P-34b-HAT-P-37b) with masses ranging from 1.05 to 3.33M_J_ and periods from 1.33 to 5.45days. These planets orbit relatively bright F and G dwarf stars (from V=10.16 to V=13.2). Of particular interest is HAT-P-34b which is moderately massive (3.33M_J_), has a high eccentricity of e=0.441+/-0.032 at a period of P=5.452654+/-0.000016days, and shows hints of an outer component. The other three planets have properties that are typical of hot Jupiters.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of HATS-1b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting the moderately bright V=12.05 G dwarf star GSC 6652-00186, and the first planet discovered by HATSouth, a global network of autonomous wide-field telescopes. HATS-1b has a period of P{approx}3.4465days, mass of M_p_{approx}1.86M_J_, and radius of R_p_{approx}1.30R_J_. The host star has a mass of 0.99M_{sun}_ and radius of 1.04R_{sun}_. The discovery light curve of HATS-1b has near-continuous coverage over several multi-day timespans, demonstrating the power of using a global network of telescopes to discover transiting planets.

- Description:
- The characterization of four new transiting extrasolar planets is presented here. KOI-188b and KOI-195b are bloated hot Saturns, with orbital periods of 3.8 and 3.2-days, and masses of 0.25 and 0.34M_Jup_, respectively. They are located in the low-mass range of known transiting, giant planets. KOI-192b has a similar mass (0.29M_Jup_) but a longer orbital period of 10.3 days. This places it in a domain where only few planets are known. KOI-830b, finally, with a mass of 1.27M_Jup_ and a period of 3.5-days, is a typical hot Jupiter. The four planets have radii of 0.98, 1.09, 1.2, and 1.08R_Jup_, respectively. We detected no significant eccentricity in any of the systems, while the accuracy of our data does not rule out possible moderate eccentricities. The four objects were first identified by the Kepler Team as promising candidates from photometry of the Kepler satellite. We establish here their planetary nature thanks to the radial velocity follow-up we secured with the HARPS-N spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. The combined analyses of the whole datasets allow us to fully characterize the four planetary systems. These new objects increase the number of well-characterized exoplanets for statistics, and provide new targets for individual follow-up studies. The pre-screening we performed with the SOPHIE spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence as part of that study also allowed us to conclude that a fifth candidate, KOI-219.01, is not a planet but is a false positive.

- Description:
- XO-2 is the first confirmed wide stellar binary system where the almost twin components XO-2N and XO-2S have planets, and it is a peculiar laboratory in which to investigate the diversity of planetary systems. This stimulated a detailed characterization study of the stellar and planetary components based on new observations. We collected high-resolution spectra with the HARPS-N spectrograph and multi-band light curves. Spectral analysis led to an accurate determination of the stellar atmospheric parameters and characterization of the stellar activity, and high-precision radial velocities of XO-2N were measured. We collected 14 transit light curves of XO-2Nb used to improve the transit parameters. Photometry provided accurate magnitude differences between the stars and a measure of their rotation periods.
