WASP-64b and WASP-72b light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of two new highly irradiated giant planets.

Description

WASP-64 b is slightly more massive (1.271+/-0.068M_Jup_) and larger (1.271+/-0.039R_Jup_) than Jupiter, and is in very-short (a=0.02648+/-0.00024AU, P=1.5732918+/-0.0000015-days) circular orbit around a V=12.3 G7-type dwarf (1.004+/-0.028M_{sun}_, 1.058+/-0.025R_{sun}_, Teff=5500+/-150K). Its size +0.059 is typical of hot Jupiters with similar masses.

WASP-72 b has also a mass a bit higher than Jupiter's (1.461-0.056M_Jup_) and orbits very close (0.03708+/-0.00050AU, P=2.2167421+/-0.0000081days) to a bright (V=9.6) and moderately evolved F7-type star (1.386+/-0.055M_{sun}_, 1.98+/-0.24R_{sun}_, Teff=6250+/-100K). Despite its extreme irradiation (~5.5x10^9^erg/s/cm^2^), WASP-72 b has a moderate size (1.27+/-0.20R_Jup_) that could suggest a significant enrichment in heavy elements.

Nevertheless, the errors on its physical parameters are still too high to draw any strong inference on its internal structure or its possible peculiarity.
