Gaia Data Release 2
- Gaia CollaborationC. Babusiaux T. Zwitter
- 25 April 2018
Physics
The internal analysis of the data shows that the photometric calibrations can reach a precision as low as 2 mmag on individual CCD measurements, and other tests show that systematic effects are present in the data at the 10 mmag level.

WASP-44b, WASP-45b and WASP-46b: three short-period, transiting extrasolar planets
- D. AndersonA. Cameron S. Udry
- 16 May 2011
Physics
We report the discovery of three extrasolar planets that transit their moderately bright (mV= 12–13) host stars. WASP-44b is a 0.89-MJup planet in a 2.42-day orbit around a G8V star. WASP-45b is a…

Physics
We report new near-infrared, long-baseline interferometric observations at the AU scale of the pre-main-sequence star FU Orionis with the PTI, IOTA and VLTI interferometers. This young stellar object…
A temperate exo-Earth around a quiet M dwarf at 3.4 parsec
- X. BonfilsN. Astudillo-Defru A. Wunsche
- 16 November 2017
Environmental Science, Physics
The combination of high-contrast imaging and high-dispersion spectroscopy, which has successfully been use to detect the atmosphere of a giant planet, is one of the most promising potential probes of…
Spin-orbit angle measurements for six southern transiting planets: New insights into the dynamical origins of hot Jupiters
- A. TriaudA. Cameron P. Wheatley
- 13 August 2010
Physics
The goal is to measure the degree of alignment between planetary orbits and stellar spin axes, to search for potential correlations with eccentricity or other planetary parameters and to measure long term radial velocity variability indicating the presence of other bodies in the system.
TESS Discovery of an Ultra-short-period Planet around the Nearby M Dwarf LHS 3844
- R. VanderspekChelsea X. Huang the Tess team
- 19 September 2018
Physics
Data from the newly commissioned Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has revealed a “hot Earth” around LHS 3844, an M dwarf located 15 pc away. The planet has a radius of R⊕ and orbits the star…
From Dense Hot Jupiter to Low Density Neptune: The Discovery of WASP-127b, WASP-136b and WASP-138b
- K. LamF. Faedi P. Wheatley
- 26 July 2016
Physics
We report three newly discovered exoplanets from the SuperWASP survey. WASP-127b is a heavily inflated super-Neptune of mass 0.18±0.02 M J and radius 1.37±0.04 R J . This is one of the least massive…
