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

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

The host star, WASP -36, with a magnitude V = 12.7, metal-poor dwarf G2 (teff = 5959 ± 134 K), with [Fe/H] = -0.26 ± 0.10. The planet has a mass and radius, 2.30 ± 0.07 and 1.28 ± 0.03 Continue Reading

WASP-39b is an extrasolar planet “Hot Saturn” discovered in 2011 by the WASP project notable for containing a substantial amount of water in its atmosphere. 1 2 3 4 WASP-39b is in the constellation of Virgo, and is about 700 Continue Reading

The “Hot Jupiter” class planet WASP-32 b, later named ‘Viculus’, was discovered around WASP-32 in 2010. It was found to orbit the parent star in a progressive direction in 2014. The follow-up study using transit time variation analysis could not Continue Reading

WASP-21b is an exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-21, approximately 750 light-years from Earth. The mass, radius and density of the planet indicate that it is a Jovian planet, of the hot Saturn type, due to its proximity to its star. Continue Reading

WASP-12b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star WASP-12, a star of apparent magnitude 11.7, spectral type G0 and that has a temperature in its photosphere of 5900 K. It is located about 870 light years away. Its radius Continue Reading

WASP-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-3 in the constellation Lyra, which is about 730 light-years away. Its radius and mass indicate that it is possibly a gas giant, with a composition similar to Jupiter, although due to Continue Reading

WASP-65b (M_pl = 1.55 +/- 0.16 M_J; R_pl = 1.11 +/- 0.06 R_J), orbits its parent star every 2,311, and 2,484 days, respectively. WASP-65 is a G6 star (T_eff = 5600 K, [Fe / H] = -0.07 +/- 0.07, age> Continue Reading

WASP-77 A b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting a G-type star. Its mass is 1.667 Jupiter, it takes 1.4 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.02335 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced Continue Reading
