MASCARA-1 b (HD201585) light curves and spectra

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report the discovery of MASCARA-1 b, the first exoplanet discovered with the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA).

Description

It is a hot Jupiter orbiting a bright m_V_=8.3, rapidly rotating (vsini>100km/s) A8 star with a period of 2.148780+/-0.000008 days. The planet has a mass and radius of 3.7+/-0.9M_J_ and 1.5+/-0.3R_J_, respectively.

As with most hot Jupiters transiting early-type stars we find a misalignment between the planet orbital axis and the stellar spin axis, which may be signature of the formation and migration histories of this family of planets. MASCARA-1 b has a mean density of 1.5+/-0.9g/cm^3^ and an equilibrium temperature of 2570^+50^_-30_K, one of the highest temperatures known for a hot Jupiter to date. The system is reminiscent of WASP-33, but the host star lacks apparent delta-scuti variations, making the planet an ideal target for atmospheric characterization.

We expect this to be the first of a series of hot Jupiters transiting bright early-type stars that will be discovered by MASCARA.
