HATS-4b: A DENSE HOT JUPITER TRANSITING A SUPER METAL-RICH G STAR

Abstract: We report the discovery by the HATSouth survey of HATS-4b, an extrasolar planet transiting a V=13.46 mag G star. HATS-4b has a period of P ≈ 2.5167 d, mass of M p ≈ 1.32 M Jup , radius of R p ≈ 1.02 R Jup and density of ρ p = 1.55 ± 0.16 g cm −3 ≈ 1.24ρ Jup . The host star has a mass of 1.00 M ⊙ , a radius of 0.92 R ⊙ and a very high metallicity [Fe/H]= 0.43 ± 0.08. HATS-4b is among the densest known planets with masses between 1-2 M J and is thus likely to have a significant content of heavy elements of the o… Show more

“…The radial velocities were computed from the optical echelle spectra using the cross-correlation technique against a binary mask representative of a G2-type star. The uncertainties in radial velocity were computed using scaling relations (for more detail see Jordán et al 2014) with the signal-to-noise ratio and width of the cross-correlation peak, which were calibrated with Monte Carlo simulations. The observing dates and the obtained radial velocities are shown in Table 1.…”

“…) that is capable of processing data in a homogeneous and optimal way coming from different echelle spectrographs. A description of a similar pipeline developed for the Coralie spectrograph can be found in Jordán et al (2014). This FEROS pipeline is able to achieve a long-term RV precision of 5 m/s in the high S/N limit.…”

“…This is due to the overlap between the pointing of the cameras on a single mount and between the different pointing positions we use to tile the sky into target fields. As a matter of fact, some stars have multiple light curves from different cameras and pointing positions (e.g., HATS-4: Jordán et al 2014). Based on these observations, we have so far identified 1883 candidate transiting planets of which 1120 have undergone follow-up observations.…”
