EPIC 246851721 b: A Tropical Jupiter Transiting a Rapidly Rotating Star in a Well-aligned Orbit
Abstract We report the discovery of EPIC 246851721 b, a “tropical” Jupiter in a 6.18-day orbit around the bright ( V = 11.439) star EPIC 246851721 (TYC 1283-739-1). We present a detailed analysis of the system using K2 and ground-based photometry, radial velocities, Doppler tomography, and adaptive optics imaging. From …
