Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit (2018)
Journal Article

We report the discovery and tomographic detection of WASP-174b, a planet with a near-grazing transit on a 4.23-d orbit around a V = 11.9, F6V star with [Fe/H] = 0.09 ± 0.09. The planet is in a moderately misaligned orbit with a sky-projected spin–orb... Read More about Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit.

WASP-147b, 160Bb, 164b, and 165b: two hot Saturns and two Jupiters, including two planets with metal-rich hosts (2018)
Journal Article

We report the discovery of four transiting hot Jupiters, WASP-147, WASP-160B, WASP-164, and WASP-165 from the WASP survey. WASP-147b is a near Saturn-mass (MP = 0.28MJ) object with a radius of 1.11RJ orbiting a G4 star with a period of 4.6 d. WASP-16...

WASP-128b: a transiting brown dwarf in the dynamical-tide regime (2018)
Journal Article

Massive companions in close orbits around G dwarfs are thought to undergo rapid orbital decay due to runaway tidal dissipation. We report here the discovery of WASP-128b, a brown dwarf discovered by the WASP survey transiting a G0V host on a 2.2 d or...

WASP 0639-32: a new F-type subgiant/K-type main-sequence detached eclipsing binary from the WASP project (2018)
Journal Article

Aims. Our aim is to measure the masses and radii of the stars in a newly-discovered detached eclipsing binary system to a high precision (˜1%), enabling the system to be used for the calibration of free parameters in stellar evolutionary models. M... Read More about WASP 0639-32: a new F-type subgiant/K-type main-sequence detached eclipsing binary from the WASP project.

Thermal emission of WASP-48b in the K-s-band (2018)
Journal Article

We report a detection of thermal emission from the hot Jupiter WASP-48b in the Ks-band. We used the Wide-field Infra-red Camera on the 3.6-m Canada-France Hawaii Telescope to observe an occultation of the planet by its host star. From the resulting o...

WASP-104b is darker than charcoal (2018)
Journal Article

By analyzing the K2 short-cadence data from Campaign 14, we detect phase-curve modulation in the light curve of the hot-Jupiter host star WASP-104. The ellipsoidal modulation is detected with high significance and in agreement with theoretical expect... Read More about WASP-104b is darker than charcoal.

An absolute sodium abundance for a cloud-free 'hot Saturn' exoplanet. (2018)
Journal Article

Broad absorption signatures from alkali metals, such as the sodium (Na I) and potassium (K I) resonance doublets, have long been predicted in the optical atmospheric spectra of cloud-free irradiated gas giant exoplanets1-3. However, observations have... Read More about An absolute sodium abundance for a cloud-free 'hot Saturn' exoplanet..

Helium in the eroding atmosphere of an exoplanet (2018)
Journal Article

Helium is the second-most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen and is one of the main constituents of gas-giant planets in our Solar System. Early theoretical models predicted helium to be among the most readily detectable species in the a... Read More about Helium in the eroding atmosphere of an exoplanet.

The discovery of WASP-151b, WASP-153b, WASP-156b: Insights on giant planet migration and the upper boundary of the Neptunian desert (2018)
Journal Article

To investigate the origin of the features discovered in the exoplanet population, the knowledge of exoplanets mass and radius with a good precision (less than or similar to 10%) is essential. To achieve this purpose the discovery of transiting exopla...

Ephemeris Refinement of a Hot Jupiter K2-140b (2018)
Journal Article

K2-140b (EPIC 228735255b) is a weakly inflated hot Jupiter discovered by Giles et al. (2018). The discovery photometry was comprised of the K2 (Howell et al. 2014) long-cadence observations from Campaign 10b, which ran between 2016 July 13 and Septem...

An Analysis of Transiting Hot Jupiters Observed with K2: WASP-55b and WASP-75b (2018)
Journal Article

We present our analysis of the K2 short-cadence data of two previously known hot Jupiter exoplanets: WASP-55b and WASP-75b. The high precision of the K2 light curves enabled us to search for transit timing and duration variations, rotational modulati...
