The Exoplanet Orbit Database
We present a database of well determined orbital parameters of exoplanets, and their host stars’ properties. This database comprises spectroscopic orbital elements measured for 427 planets orbiting 363 stars from radial velocity and transit measurements as reported in the literature. We have also compiled fundamental transit parameters, stellar parameters, and the method used for the planets di...
متن کاملExoplanet Predictions Based on Harmonic Orbit Resonances
The current exoplanet database includes 5454 confirmed and candidate planets observed with the Kepler mission. We find 932 planet pairs from which we extract distance and orbital period ratios. While earlier studies used a logarithmic spacing, which lacks a physical model, we employ here the theory of harmonic orbit resonances, which contains quantized ratios instead, to explain the observed pl...
متن کاملProbing the extreme planetary atmosphere of WASP-12b
We report near-infrared measurements of the terminator region transmission spectrum and dayside emission spectrum of the exoplanet WASP-12b obtained using the HST WFC3 instrument. The disk-average dayside brightness temperature averages about 2900 K, peaking to 3200 K around 1.46 μm. Both the dayside and terminator region spectra can be explained in terms of opacity due to the metal hydrides Cr...
متن کاملThe thermal emission of the exoplanet WASP-3b
We report the detection of thermal emission from the transiting hot Jupiter WASP-3b at 3.6, 4.5 and 8.0μm using the Spitzer Space Telescope. We obtain planet-to-star flux ratios of 0.209+0.040 −0.028, 0.282 ± 0.012 and 0.328+0.086 −0.055 per cent at these wavelengths, respectively, implying infrared brightness temperatures of T3.6μm = 2280+210 −150 K, T4.5μm = 2400± 80K and T8.0μm = 2210+390 −2...
متن کاملSecondary Eclipse Photometry of the Exoplanet Wasp-5b With
We present secondary eclipse photometry of the extrasolar planet WASP-5b taken in the 3.6 and 4.5μm bands with the Spitzer Space Telescope’s Infrared Array Camera as part of the extended warm mission. By estimating the depth of the secondary eclipse in these two bands we can place constraints on the planet’s atmospheric pressure–temperature profile and chemistry. We measure secondary eclipse de...
