WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets (2016)
Journal Article
Smalley, Hellier, & Maxted. (2016). WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets. arXiv,

We report the discovery of two transiting planetary systems: a super dense, sub-Jupiter mass planet WASP-86b (Mpl = 0.82 ± 0.06 MJ; Rpl = 0.63 ± 0.01 RJ), and a bloated, Saturn-like planet WASP-102b (Mpl = 0.62 ± 0.04 MJ; Rpl = 1.27 ± 0.03 RJ). They... Read More about WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets.

Six newly-discovered hot Jupiters transiting F/G stars: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b & WASP-112b (2014)
Journal Article
Anderson, D., Brown, D., Collier Cameron, A., Delrez, L., Fumel, A., Gillon, M., …West, R. (2014). Six newly-discovered hot Jupiters transiting F/G stars: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b & WASP-112b. arXiv,

We present the discoveries of six transiting hot Jupiters: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b and WASP-112b. The planets have masses of 0.51--2.2 MJup and radii of 1.19--1.44 RJup and are in orbits of 1.68--3.78 d around stars with...

WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune
Journal Article
Barkaoui, K., J. Pozuelos, F., Hellier, C., Smalley, B., D. Nielsen, L., Dorn, C., …G. West, R. WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune. arXiv,

Gas giants transiting bright nearby stars are stepping stones for our understanding of planetary system formation and evolution mechanisms. This paper presents a particularly interesting new specimen of this kind of exoplanet discovered by the WASP-S... Read More about WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune.
