Lister,Pierre F. L. Maxted,Michel Mayor,Andrew Norton,N. R. Parley,Frederic Pont,D. Queloz,Barry Smalley,Peter J. Wheatley +34 more
TL;DR: The planet has an equilibrium temperature of T eq = 2516 K caused by its very short period orbit around the hot, twelfth magnitude host star and has the largest radius of any transiting planet yet detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present near-UV transmission spectroscopy of the highly irradiated transiting exoplanet WASP-12b, obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI

L. Maxted,Michel Mayor,C. Moutou,Andrew Norton,J. P. Osborne,N. R. Parley,Frederic Pont,D. Queloz,Robert Ryans,E. K. Simpson +49 more
TL;DR: The proximity and relative temperature of the host star suggests that WASP-3b is one of the hottest exoplanets known, and thus has the potential to place stringent constraints on exoplanet atmospheric models.
Journal ArticleDOI
EL CVn-type binaries - Discovery of 17 helium white dwarf precursors in bright eclipsing binary star systems
Pierre F. L. Maxted,Steven Bloemen,Ulrich Heber,S. Geier,Peter J. Wheatley,T. R. Marsh,Elmé Breedt,D. Sebastian,G. Faillace,Christopher J. Owen,D. Pulley,D. Smith,Ulrich Kolb,Carole A.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the photometric database from the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) to find 17 eclipsing binary stars with orbital periods P = 0.7−2.2 d with similar light curves to 1SWASP J024743.37−251549.2.
