WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b: Four new transiting close-in giant planets

Abstract: We present the discovery of four new transiting hot Jupiters, detected mainly from SuperWASP-North and SOPHIE observations. These new planets, WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, and WASP-60b, have orbital periods ranging from 1.7 to 7.9 days, masses between 0.46 and 0.94 M Jup , and radii between 0.73 and 1.49 R Jup . Their G1 to K5 dwarf host stars have V magnitudes in the range 11.7−13.0. The depths of the transits are between 0.6 and 2.7%, depending on the target. With their large radii, WASP-52b and WASP-58b ar… Show more

“…Additional measurements were taken far from the transit in 2011 (2 in February and June 2011; Santerne et al 2012a) and in 2014 (2 in May and June 2014) to put constraints on the mass of KOI-12.01. The 2014 observations are of better quality than the 2011 ones, which may be affected by a systematic shift reminiscent of previous SOPHIE observations in high-efficiency (HE) mode (Hébrard et al 2013). Contrary to the 2014 dataset, no radial velocity standard stars were monitored during the 2011 observations, and we could not find any adequate correction for this possible shift.…”

“…The WASP camera arrays are described in Pollacco et al (2006), while our planet-hunting methods are described in Collier Cameron et al (2007b) and Pollacco et al (2008) Equatorial WASP candidates are followed up by obtaining radial velocities using the SOPHIE spectrograph on the 1.93-m telescope at Observatoire de Haute-Provence (as described in, e.g. Hébrard et al 2013) and the CORALIE spectrograph on the 1.2-m Euler telescope at La Silla (e.g. Triaud et al 2013).…”

“…Today, nearly 300 transiting exoplanets have been discovered. They were mainly detected by ground-based photometric surveys which are mostly sensitive to close-in giant planets (see, e.g., Hébrard et al 2013), and from their space-based counterparts CoRoT and Kepler which are sensitive to similar planets, as well as to planets on longer periods and/or smaller radii. The Kepler satellite, in particular, is monitoring stars with high-precision optical photometry with the goal of detecting signatures of exoplanetary transits.…”
