Description
We report the discovery of a new transiting planet from the WASP survey.
WASP-135b is a hot Jupiter with radius 1.30 ± 0.09 R
Jup, mass 1.90 ± 0.08 M Jup, and an orbital
period of 1.401 days. Its host is a Sun-like star, with a G5 spectral
type and a mass and radius of 0.98 ± 0.06 M ⊙ and
0.96 ± 0.05 R ⊙, respectively. The proximity of
the planet to its star means that WASP-135b receives high levels of
insolation, which may be the cause of its inflated radius. Additionally,
we report weak evidence of a transfer of angular momentum from the
planet to its host star.
