KELT-6b: A<i>P</i>∼ 7.9 DAY HOT SATURN TRANSITING A METAL-POOR STAR WITH A LONG-PERIOD COMPANION
We report the discovery of KELT-6b, a mildly-inflated Saturn-mass planet transiting a metal-poor host. The initial transit signal was identified in KELT-North survey data, and the planetary nature of the occulter was established using a combination of follow-up photometry, high-resolution imaging, high-resolution spectroscopy, and precise radial velocity measurements. The fiducial …
