The EChO science case (2015)
Journal Article

The discovery of almost two thousand exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. We see gas giants in few-day orbits, whole multi-planet systems within the orbit of Mercury, and new populations of planets with masses between th... Read More about The EChO science case.

The Araucaria project. Precise physical parameters of the eclipsing binary IO Aquarii (2015)
Journal Article

Aims. Our aim is to precisely measure the physical parameters of the eclipsing binary IO Aqr and derive a distance to this system by applying a surface brightness – colour relation. Our motivation is to combine these parameters with future precise di... Read More about The Araucaria project. Precise physical parameters of the eclipsing binary IO Aquarii.

WASP-80b has a dayside within the T-dwarf range (2015)
Journal Article

WASP-80b is a missing link in the study of exoatmospheres. It falls between the warm Neptunes and the hot Jupiters and is amenable for characterization, thanks to its host star's properties. We observed the planet through transit and during occultati... Read More about WASP-80b has a dayside within the T-dwarf range.

A kinematically unbiased search for nearby young stars in the Northern hemisphere selected using SuperWASP rotation periods (2015)
Journal Article

We present a kinematically-unbiased search to identify young, nearby low-mass members of kinematic moving groups (MGs). Objects with both rotation periods shorter than 5 days in the SuperWASP All-Sky Survey and X-ray counterparts in the ROSAT All-Sky...

The catalogue of radial velocity variable hot subluminous stars from the MUCHFUSS project (2015)
Journal Article

The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims to find sdBs with compact companions such as massive white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Here we provide classifications, atmospheric parameters... Read More about The catalogue of radial velocity variable hot subluminous stars from the MUCHFUSS project.

WASP-20b and WASP-28b: a hot Saturn and a hot Jupiter in near-aligned orbits around solar-type stars (2015)
Journal Article

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 (0.31?MJup; 1.46?RJup) in a 4.9-day, near-aligned (? = 12.7 ± 4.2°) orbit aro...

The well-aligned orbit of Wasp-84b: evidence for disk migration of a hot Jupiter (2015)
Journal Article

We report the sky-projected orbital obliquity (spin–orbit angle) of WASP-84 b, a 0.69${{M}_{{\rm Jup}}}$ planet in an 8.52 day orbit around a G9V/K0V star, to be ? = -0.3 ± 1.7°. We obtain a true obliquity of ? = 17.3 ± 7.7° from a measurement of the... Read More about The well-aligned orbit of Wasp-84b: evidence for disk migration of a hot Jupiter.
