WASP-58 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting a G-type star. Its mass is 0.97 Jupiter, it takes 5 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.0562 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in Continue Reading

In 2012, a hot transiting Jupiter planet, WASP-52b, was detected in a narrow circular orbit. The planet was named Gokturk by Turkish astronomers in December 2019. Its equilibrium temperature is 1,315 ± 35 K [4] and its orbit is well Continue Reading

WASP-56b and WASP-57b have masses of 0.571 + 0.034-0.035 mj and 0.672 + 0.049 up to 0.046 mj, respectively; and radii of 1.092 + 0.035-0.033 rj of WASP-56b and 0.916 + 0.017 to 0.014 rj of WASP-57b. They orbit main Continue Reading

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 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
