INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION AND REFINED PARAMETERS OF THE HOT JUPITER XO - 5 b 1
We present HATNet observations of XO-5b, confirming its planetary nature based on evidence beyond that described in the announcement of Burke et al. (2008), namely, the lack of significant correlation between spectral bisector variations and orbital phase. In addition, using extensive spectroscopic measurements spanning multiple seasons, we investigate the relatively large scatter in the spectr...
متن کاملHAT-P-5b: A JUPITER-LIKE HOT JUPITER TRANSITING A BRIGHT STAR
We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately bright (V = 12.00) G star, with an orbital period of 2.788491± 0.000025 days. From the transit light curve we determine that the radius of the planet is Rp = 1.257± 0.053RJup. HAT-P-5b has a mass of Mp = 1.06± 0.11MJup, similar to the average mass of previously-known transiting exoplanets, and a density of ρp = 0.66± 0.11 g cm. We find...
متن کاملConstraints on the Atmospheric Circulation and Variability of the Eccentric Hot Jupiter Xo-3b
We report secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Jupiter XO-3b in the 4.5 μm band taken with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We measure individual eclipse depths and center of eclipse times for a total of twelve secondary eclipses. We fit these data simultaneously with two transits observed in the same band in order to obtain a global best-fit secondary eclipse...
متن کاملCONFIRMATION OF HOT JUPITER KEPLER-41b VIA PHASE CURVE ANALYSIS
We present high precision photometry of Kepler-41, a giant planet in a 1.86 day orbit around a G6V star that was recently confirmed through radial velocity measurements. We have developed a new method to confirm giant planets solely from the photometric light curve, and we apply this method herein to Kepler-41 to establish the validity of this technique. We generate a full phase photometric mod...
متن کاملJupiter ' s Hot , Mushy
Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. Observations by instruments on the Galileo spacecraft and on telescopes atop Maunakea in Hawai'i indicate that lava flows on Io are surprisingly hot, over 1200 oC and possibly as much as 1300 oC; a few areas might have lava flows as hot as 1500 oC. Such high temperatures imply that the lava flows are composed of rock th...
