HAT-P-54b

HAT-P-54b, a transiting planet orbiting a late dwarf K star in NASA’s K2 mission field. Ground-based photometric light curves were combined with radial velocity measurements to determine the physical parameters of the system. HAT-P-54b has a mass of 0.760 ± Continue Reading

WASP-48b

WASP-48b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-48 in the constellation Cygnus. The planet was detected using the transit method by the SuperWASP team, which published its discovery in 2011. It revolves around its host star in just 2.14 Continue Reading

WASP-43b

WASP-43b is a transiting planet orbiting the young, active, low-mass star WASP-43 in the constellation Sextans. The planet is a hot Jupiter with a mass twice that of Jupiter, but with a radius approximately equal. WASP-43b was flagged as a Continue Reading

WASP-40b

From WASP photometry and radial velocities SOPHIE we report the discovery of WASP-40b (HAT-P-27b), a 0.6 Mjup planet that transits its 12th magnitude parent star every 3.04 days. The host star is G-type endings or K-type beginnings and probably has Continue Reading
