WASP-1b and WASP-2b: two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE
WASP-1b and WASP-2b: two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE
We have detected low-amplitude radial-velocity variations in two stars, USNO-B1.0 1219-0005465 (GSC 02265-00107 = WASP-1) and USNO-B1.0 0964-0543604 (GSC 00522-01199 = WASP-2). Both stars were identified as being likely host stars of transiting exoplanets in the 2004 SuperWASP wide-field transit survey. Using the newly-commissioned radial-velocity spectrograph SOPHIE at the Observatoire …
