We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of a highly-irradiated, massive (2.242 +/- 0.080 MJup) planet which transits a bright (V = 10.6), evolved F8 star every 2.9 days. The planet, WASP-71b, is larger than Jupiter (1.46 +/- 0.13 RJup), but less dense (0.71 +/- 0.16 {rho}Jup). We also report spectroscopic observations made during transit with the CORALIE spectrograph, which allow us to make a highly-significant detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. We determine the sky-projected angle between the stellar-spin and planetary-orbit axes to be {lambda} = 20.1 +/- 9.7 degrees, i.e. the system is aligned, according to the widely-used alignment criteria that systems are regarded as misaligned only when {lambda} is measured to be greater than 10 degrees with 3-{sigma} confidence. WASP-71, with an effective temperature of 6059 +/- 98 K, therefore fits the previously observed pattern that only stars hotter than 6250 K are host to planets in misaligned orbits. We emphasise, however, that {lambda} is merely the sky-projected obliquity angle; we are unable to determine whether the stellar-spin and planetary-orbit axes are misaligned along the line-of-sight. With a mass of 1.56 +/- 0.07 Msun, WASP-71 was previously hotter than 6250 K, and therefore might have been significantly misaligned in the past. If so, the planetary orbit has been realigned, presumably through tidal interactions with the cooling stars growing convective zone.

We report here the discovery of a hot Jupiter at an orbital period of $3.208666pm0.000016$ days around TOI-1789 (TYC 1962-00303-1, $TESS_{mag}$ = 9.1) based on the TESS photometry, ground-based photometry, and high-precision radial velocity observations. The high-precision radial velocity observations were obtained from the high-resolution spectrographs, PARAS at Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), India, and TCES at Thuringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg (TLS), Germany, and the ground-based transit observations were obtained using the 0.43~m telescope at PRL with the Bessel-$R$ filter. The host star is a slightly evolved ($log{g_*}$ = $3.939^{+0.024}_{-0.046}$), late F-type ($T_{eff}$ = $5984^{+55}_{-57}$ K), metal-rich star ([Fe/H] = $0.370^{+0.073}_{-0.089}$ dex) with a radius of {ensuremath{$R_{*}$}} = $2.172^{+0.037}_{-0.035}$ (R_odot) located at a distance of $223.56^{+0.91}_{-0.90}$ pc. The simultaneous fitting of the multiple light curves and the radial velocity data of TOI-1789 reveals that TOI-1789b has a mass of $M_{P}$ = $0.70pm0.16 $ $M_{J}$, a radius of $R_{P}$ = $1.40^{+0.22}_{-0.13}$ $R_{J}$, and a bulk density of $rho_P$ = $0.31^{+0.15}_{-0.13}$ g cm$^{-3}$ with an orbital separation of a = $0.04873^{+0.00065}_{-0.0016}$ AU. This puts TOI-1789b in the category of inflated hot Jupiters. It is one of the few nearby evolved stars with a close-in planet. The detection of such systems will contribute to our understanding of mechanisms responsible for inflation in hot Jupiters and also provide an opportunity to understand the evolution of planets around stars leaving the main sequence branch.
We report the independent discovery and characterisation of a hot Jupiter in a 4.5-d, transiting orbit around the star TYC 7282-1298-1 ($V$ = 10.8, F5V). The planet has been pursued by the NGTS team as NGTS-2b and by ourselves as WASP-179b. We characterised the system using a combination of photometry from WASP-South and TRAPPIST-South, and spectra from CORALIE (around the orbit) and HARPS (through the transit). We find the planets orbit to be nearly aligned with its stars spin. From a detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, we measure a projected stellar obliquity of $lambda = -19 pm 6^circ$. From line-profile tomography of the same spectra, we measure $lambda = -11 pm 5^circ$. We find the planet to have a low density ($M_{rm P}$ = 0.67 $pm$ 0.09 $M_{rm Jup}$, $R_{rm P}$ = 1.54 $pm$ 0.06 $R_{rm Jup}$), which, along with its moderately bright host star, makes it a good target for transmission spectroscopy. We find a lower stellar mass ($M_*$ = $1.30 pm 0.07$ $M_odot$) than reported by the NGTS team ($M_*$ = $1.64 pm 0.21$ $M_odot$), though the difference is only $1.5$ $sigma$.
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in August 2007. Light curves comprising almost 1200 epochs with a photometric precision of better than 1 per cent to J ~ 16 were constructed for ~60000 stars and searched for periodic transit signals. For one of the most promising transiting candidates, high-resolution spectra taken at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) allowed us to estimate the spectroscopic parameters of the host star, a late-F main sequence dwarf (V=16.13) with possibly slightly subsolar metallicity, and to measure its radial velocity variations. The combined analysis of the light curves and spectroscopic data resulted in an orbital period of the substellar companion of 3.35 days, a planetary mass of 4.01 +- 0.35 Mj and a planetary radius of 1.49+0.16-0.18 Rj. WTS-1b has one of the largest radius anomalies among the known hot Jupiters in the mass range 3-5 Mj. The high irradiation from the host star ranks the planet in the pM class.
We report the discovery of KELT-12b, a highly inflated Jupiter-mass planet transiting a mildly evolved host star. We identified the initial transit signal in the KELT-North survey data and established the planetary nature of the companion through precise follow-up photometry, high-resolution spectroscopy, precise radial velocity measurements, and high-resolution adaptive optics imaging. Our preferred best-fit model indicates that the $V = 10.64$ host, TYC 2619-1057-1, has $T_{rm eff} = 6278 pm 51$ K, $log{g_star} = 3.89^{+0.054}_{-0.051}$, and [Fe/H] = $0.19^{+0.083}_{-0.085}$, with an inferred mass $M_{star} = 1.59^{+0.071}_{-0.091} M_odot$ and radius $R_star = 2.37 pm 0.18 R_odot$. The planetary companion has $M_{rm P} = 0.95 pm 0.14 M_{rm J}$, $R_{rm P} = 1.79^{+0.18}_{-0.17} R_{rm J}$, $log{g_{rm P}} = 2.87^{+0.097}_{-0.098}$, and density $rho_{rm P} = 0.21^{+0.075}_{-0.054}$ g cm$^{-3}$, making it one of the most inflated giant planets known. The time of inferior conjunction in ${rm BJD_{TDB}}$ is $2457088.692055 pm 0.0009$ and the period is $P = 5.0316144 pm 0.0000306$ days. Despite the relatively large separation of $sim0.07$ AU implied by its $sim 5.03$-day orbital period, KELT-12b receives significant flux of $2.93^{+0.33}_{-0.30} times 10^9$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ from its host. We compare the radii and insolations of transiting gas-giant planets around hot ($T_{rm eff} geq 6250$ K) and cool stars, noting that the observed paucity of known transiting giants around hot stars with low insolation is likely due to selection effects. We underscore the significance of long-term ground-based monitoring of hot stars and space-based targeting of hot stars with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to search for inflated giants in longer-period orbits.
We report the discovery of WASP-189b: an ultra-hot Jupiter in a 2.72-d transiting orbit around the $V = 6.6$ A star WASP-189 (HR 5599). We detected periodic dimmings in the stars lightcurve, first with the WASP-South survey facility then with the TRAPPIST-South telescope. We confirmed that a planet is the cause of those dimmings via line-profile tomography and radial-velocity measurements using the HARPS and CORALIE spectrographs. Those reveal WASP-189b to be an ultra-hot Jupiter ($M_{rm P}$ = 2.13 $pm$ 0.28 $M_{rm Jup}$; $R_{rm P}$ = 1.374 $pm$ 0.082 $R_{rm Jup}$) in a polar orbit ($lambda = 89.3 pm 1.4^circ$; $Psi = 90.0 pm 5.8^circ$) around a rapidly rotating A6IV-V star ($T_{rm eff}$ = 8000 $pm$ 100 K; $v_* sin i_*$ $approx$ 100 km, s$^{-1}$). We calculate a predicted equilibrium temperature of $T_{rm eql}$ = 2641 $pm$ 34 K, assuming zero albedo and efficient redistribution, which is the third hottest for the known exoplanets. WASP-189 is the brightest known host of a transiting hot Jupiter and the third-brightest known host of any transiting exoplanet. We note that of the eight hot-Jupiter systems with $T_{rm eff}$ $>$ 7000 K, seven have strongly misaligned orbits, and two of the three systems with $T_{rm eff}$ $geq$ 8000 K have polar orbits (the third is aligned).
