We present the discovery of KELT-24 b, a massive hot Jupiter orbiting a bright (V=8.3 mag, K=7.2 mag) young F-star with a period of 5.6 days. The host star, KELT-24 (HD 93148), has a $T_{rm eff}$ =$6509^{+50}_{-49}$ K, a mass of $M_{*}$ = $1.460^{+0.055}_{-0.059}$ $M_{odot}$, radius of $R_{*}$ = $1.506pm0.022$ $R_{odot}$, and an age of $0.78^{+0.61}_{-0.42}$ Gyr. Its planetary companion (KELT-24 b) has a radius of $R_{rm P}$ = $1.272pm0.021$ $R_{rm J}$, a mass of $M_{rm P}$ = $5.18^{+0.21}_{-0.22}$ $M_{rm J}$, and from Doppler tomographic observations, we find that the planets orbit is well-aligned to its host stars projected spin axis ($lambda$ = $2.6^{+5.1}_{-3.6}$). The young age estimated for KELT-24 suggests that it only recently started to evolve from the zero-age main sequence. KELT-24 is the brightest star known to host a transiting giant planet with a period between 5 and 10 days. Although the circularization timescale is much longer than the age of the system, we do not detect a large eccentricity or significant misalignment that is expected from dynamical migration. The brightness of its host star and its moderate surface gravity make KELT-24b an intriguing target for detailed atmospheric characterization through spectroscopic emission measurements since it would bridge the current literature results that have primarily focused on lower mass hot Jupiters and a few brown dwarfs.

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 charac terised 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 photom etric 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-3b, a moderately inflated transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of 1.477 (-0.067, +0.066) M_J, and radius of 1.345 +/- 0.072 R_J, with an orbital period of 2.7033904 +/- 0.000010 days. The host star, KELT-3, is a V=9.8 la te F star with M_* = 1.278 (-0.061, +0.063) M_sun, R_* = 1.472 (-0.067, +0.065) R_sun, T_eff = 6306 (-49, +50) K, log(g) = 4.209 (-0.031, +0.033), and [Fe/H] = 0.044 (-0.082, +0.080), and has a likely proper motion companion. KELT-3b is the third transiting exoplanet discovered by the KELT survey, and is orbiting one of the 20 brightest known transiting planet host stars, making it a promising candidate for detailed characterization studies. Although we infer that KELT-3 is significantly evolved, a preliminary analysis of the stellar and orbital evolution of the system suggests that the planet has likely always received a level of incident flux above the empirically-identified threshold for radius inflation suggested by Demory & Seager (2011).
We report the discovery of KELT-20b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V~7.6 early A star with an orbital period of P~3.47 days. We identified the initial transit signal in KELT-North survey data. Archival and follow-up photometry, the Gaia parallax, radial velocities, Doppler tomography, and adaptive optics imaging were used to confirm the planetary nature of the companion and characterize the system. From global modeling we infer that the host star HD 185603 is a rapidly-rotating (VsinI~120 km/s) A2V star with an effective temperature of $T_{eff}$=8730K, mass of $M_{star}=1.76M_{sun}$, radius of $R_{star}=1.561R_{sun}$, surface gravity of logg=4.292, and age of <600 Myr. The planetary companion has a radius of $1.735^{+0.070}_{-0.075}~R_{J}$, a semimajor axis of $a=0.0542^{+0.0014}_{-0.0021}$AU, and a linear ephemeris of $BJD_{TDB}=2457503.120049 pm 0.000190 + E(3.4741070pm0.0000019)$. We place a $3sigma$ upper limit of ~3.5 $M_{J}$ on the mass of the planet. The Doppler tomographic measurement indicates that the planetary orbit is well aligned with the projected spin-axis of the star ($lambda= 3.4pm {2.1}$ degrees). The inclination of the star is constrained to be $24.4<I_*<155.6$ degrees, implying a true (three-dimensional) spin-orbit alignment of $1.3<psi<69.8$ degrees. The planet receives an insolation flux of $sim 8times 10^9~{rm erg~s^{-1}~cm^{-2}}$, implying an equilibrium temperature of of ~ 2250 K, assuming zero albedo and complete heat redistribution. Due to the high stellar $T_{eff}$, the planet also receives an ultraviolet (wavelengths $dle 91.2$~nm) insolation flux of $sim 9.1times 10^4~{rm erg~s^{-1}~cm^{-2}}$, which may lead to significant ablation of the planetary atmosphere. Together with WASP-33, Kepler-13 A, HAT-P-57, KELT-17, and KELT-9, KELT-20 is the sixth A star host of a transiting giant planet, and the third-brightest host (in V) of a transiting planet.
We report the detection of a transiting, dense Neptune planet candidate orbiting the bright ($V=8.6$) K0.5V star HD 95338. Detection of the 55-day periodic signal comes from the analysis of precision radial velocities from the Planet Finder Spectrogr aph on the Magellan II Telescope. Follow-up observations with HARPS also confirm the presence of the periodic signal in the combined data. HD 95338 was also observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ({it TESS}) where we identify a clear single transit in the photometry. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo period search on the velocities allows strong constraints on the expected transit time, matching well the epoch calculated from tess{} data, confirming both signals describe the same companion. A joint fit model yields an absolute mass of 42.44$^{+2.22}_{-2.08} M_{oplus}$ and a radius of 3.89$^{+0.19}_{-0.20}$ $R_{oplus}$ which translates to a density of 3.98$^{+0.62}_{-0.64}$ gcm, for the planet. Given the planet mass and radius, structure models suggest it is composed of a mixture of ammonia, water, and methane. HD 95338,b is one of the most dense Neptune planets yet detected, indicating a heavy element enrichment of $sim$90% ($sim38, M_{oplus}$). This system presents a unique opportunity for future follow-up observations that can further constrain structure models of cool gas giant planets.
