- Description:
- We report the discovery by the HATSouth survey of HATS-3b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting a V=12.4 F dwarf star. HATS-3b has a period of P=3.5479days, mass of M_p_=1.07M_J_, and radius of R_p_=1.38R _J_. Given the radius of the planet, the brightness of the host star, and the stellar rotational velocity (vsini=9.0km/s), this system will make an interesting target for future observations to measure the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and determine its spin-orbit alignment. We detail the low-/medium-resolution reconnaissance spectroscopy that we are now using to deal with large numbers of transiting planet candidates produced by the HATSouth survey. We show that this important step in discovering planets produces logg and T_eff_ parameters at a precision suitable for efficient candidate vetting, as well as efficiently identifying stellar mass eclipsing binaries with radial velocity semi-amplitudes as low as 1km/s.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of HATS-5b, a transiting hot Saturn orbiting a G-type star, by the HATSouth survey. HATS-5b has a mass of M_p_{approx}0.24M_J_, radius of R_p_{approx}0.91R_J_, and transits its host star with a period of P{approx}4.7634days. The radius of HATS-5b is consistent with both theoretical and empirical models. The host star has a V-band magnitude of 12.6, mass of 0.94M_{sun}_, and radius of 0.87R_{sun}_. The relatively high scale height of HATS-5b and the bright, photometrically quiet host star make this planet a favorable target for future transmission spectroscopy follow-up observations. We reexamine the correlations in radius, equilibrium temperature, and metallicity of the close-in gas giants and find hot Jupiter-mass planets to exhibit the strongest dependence between radius and equilibrium temperature. We find no significant dependence in radius and metallicity for the close-in gas giant population.

- 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 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:
- We report the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting at the inner edge of the habitable zone of the star GJ 625 based on the analysis of the radial-velocity (RV) time series from the HARPS-N spectrograph, consisting in 151 HARPS-N measurements taken over 3.5yr. GJ 625 b is a planet with a minimum mass Msini of 2.82+/-0.51 M_Earth_ with an orbital period of 14.628+/-0.013 days at a distance of 0.078AU of its parent star. The host star is the quiet M2 V star GJ 625, located at 6.5pc from the Sun. We find the presence of a second radial velocity signal in the range 74-85 days that we relate to stellar rotation after analysing the time series of CaII H&K and H{alpha} spectroscopic indicators, the variations of the FWHM of the CCF and and the APT2 photometric light curves. We find no evidence linking the short period radial velocity signal to any activity proxy.

- Description:
- We report on the detection of GJ3634b, a super-Earth of mass msini=7.0+/-0.9 Mearth and period P=2.64561+/-0.00066-day. Its host star is a M2.5 dwarf, has a mass of 0.45+/-0.05M_{sun}_, a radius of 0.43+/-0.03R_{sun}_ and lies 19.8+/-0.6pc away from our Sun. The planet is detected after a radial-velocity campaign using the ESO/Harps spectrograph. GJ3634b had an a priori geometric probability to undergo transit of ~7% and, if telluric in composition, a non-grazing transit would produce a photometric dip of <~0.1%. We therefore followed-up upon the RV detection with photometric observations using the 4.5-um band of the IRAC imager onboard Spitzer. Our six-hour long light curve excludes that a transit occurs for 2sigma of the probable transit window, decreasing the probability that GJ3634b undergoes transit to ~0.5%.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two exoplanets transiting high-jitter stars. HAT-P-32b orbits the bright V=11.289 late-F-early-G dwarf star GSC 3281-00800, with a period P=2.150008+/-0.000001d. The stellar and planetary masses and radii depend on the eccentricity of the system, which is poorly constrained due to the high-velocity jitter (~80m/s). Assuming a circular orbit, the star has a mass of 1.16+/-0.04M_{sun}_ and radius of 1.22+/-0.02R_{sun}_, while the planet has a mass of 0.860+/-0.164M_J_ and a radius of 1.789+/-0.025R_J_. The second planet, HAT-P-33b, orbits the bright V=11.188 late-F dwarf star GSC 2461-00988, with a period P=3.474474+/-0.000001d. As for HAT-P-32, the stellar and planetary masses and radii of HAT-P-33 depend on the eccentricity, which is poorly constrained due to the high jitter (~50m/s). In this case, spectral line bisector spans (BSs) are significantly anti-correlated with the radial velocity residuals, and we are able to use this correlation to reduce the residual rms to ~35m/s. We find that the star has a mass of 1.38+/-0.04M_{sun}_ and a radius of 1.64+/-0.03R_{sun}_ while the planet has a mass of 0.762+/-0.101M_J_ and a radius of 1.686+/-0.045R_J_ for an assumed circular orbit. Due to the large BS variations exhibited by both stars we rely on detailed modeling of the photometric light curves to rule out blend scenarios. Both planets are among the largest radii transiting planets discovered to date.

- Description:
- We report six new inflated hot Jupiters (HATS-25b through HATS-30b) discovered using the HATSouth global network of automated telescopes. The planets orbit stars with V magnitudes in the range of ~12-14 and have masses in the largely populated 0.5M_J_--0.7M_J_ region of parameter space but span a wide variety of radii, from 1.17R_J_ to 1.75R_J_. HATS-25b, HATS-28b, HATS-29b, and HATS-30b are typical inflated hot Jupiters (R_p_=1.17--1.26R_J_) orbiting G-type stars in short period (P=3.2-4.6 days) orbits. However, HATS-26b (R_p_=1.75R_J_, P=3.3024days) and HATS-27b (R_p_=1.50R_J_, P=4.6370days) stand out as highly inflated planets orbiting slightly evolved F stars just after and in the turn-off points, respectively, which are among the least dense hot Jupiters, with densities of 0.153g/cm^3^ and 0.180g/cm^3^, respectively. All the presented exoplanets but HATS-27b are good targets for future atmospheric characterization studies, while HATS-27b is a prime target for Rossiter-McLaughlin monitoring in order to determine its spin-orbit alignment given the brightness (V=12.8) and stellar rotational velocity (vsini~9.3km/s) of the host star. These discoveries significantly increase the number of inflated hot Jupiters known, contributing to our understanding of the mechanism(s) responsible for hot Jupiter inflation.

- LC and RV data of PTFO 8-8695 T-Tauri star
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/809/42
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present Spitzer 4.5{mu}m light curve observations, Keck NIRSPEC radial velocity observations, and LCOGT optical light curve observations of PTFO 8-8695, which may host a Jupiter-sized planet in a very short orbital period (0.45 days). Previous work by van Eyken et al. (2012ApJ...755...42V) and Barnes et al. (2013ApJ...774...53B) predicts that the stellar rotation axis and the planetary orbital plane should precess with a period of 300-600 days. As a consequence, the observed transits should change shape and depth, disappear, and reappear with the precession. Our observations indicate the long-term presence of the transit events (>3 years), and that the transits indeed do change depth, disappear and reappear. The Spitzer observations and the NIRSPEC radial velocity observations (with contemporaneous LCOGT optical light curve data) are consistent with the predicted transit times and depths for the M*=0.34M_{sun}_ precession model and demonstrate the disappearance of the transits. An LCOGT optical light curve shows that the transits do reappear approximately 1 year later. The observed transits occur at the times predicted by a straight-forward propagation of the transit ephemeris. The precession model correctly predicts the depth and time of the Spitzer transit and the lack of a transit at the time of the NIRSPEC radial velocity observations. However, the precession model predicts the return of the transits approximately 1 month later than observed by LCOGT. Overall, the data are suggestive that the planetary interpretation of the observed transit events may indeed be correct, but the precession model and data are currently insufficient to confirm firmly the planetary status of PTFO 8-8695b.
