Descripción
We have initiated a project to discover transiting warm Jupiters - gas
giant planets receiving stellar irradiation below 108 erg
s-1 cm-2, corresponding to orbital periods beyond
about 10 days around Sun-like stars, through follow-up of transiting
candidates identified by K2 and other transit surveys. Our goals are to
(1) investigate the inflated gas giants conundrum, (2) study the mystery
of hot Jupiters orbital evolution, and (3) identify targets for
extending exoplanet atmosphere and stellar obliquity studies beyond the
hot Jupiters class. This project has so far resulted in the discovery of
two new transiting warm Jupiters (K2-114b and K2-115b), and the
identification of three statistically validated planets as low-mass
stars.
