WASP-104b and WASP-106b photometry

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report the discovery from the WASP survey of two exoplanetary systems, each consisting of a Jupiter-sized planet transiting an 11th magnitude (V) main-sequence star.

Description

WASP-104b orbits its star in 1.75d, whereas WASP-106b has the fourth-longest orbital period of any planet discovered by means of transits observed from the ground, orbiting every 9.29d. Each planet is more massive than Jupiter (WASP-104b has a mass of 1.27+/-0.05M_Jup_, while WASP-106b has a mass of 1.93+/-0.08M_Jup_).

Both planets are just slightly larger than Jupiter, with radii of 1.14+/-0.04 and 1.09+/-0.04R_Jup_ for WASP-104 and WASP-106 respectively. No significant orbital eccentricity is detected in either system, and while this is not surprising in the case of the short-period WASP-104b, it is interesting in the case of WASP-106b, because many otherwise similar planets are known to have eccentric orbits.
