WASP-190b: Tomographic discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter

Abstract

We report the discovery of WASP-190b, an exoplanet on a 5.37-day orbit around a mildly-evolved F6 IV-V star with V = 11.7, Teff = 6400 100 K, M* = 1.35 0.05 Msun and R* = 1.6 0.1 Rsun. The planet has a radius of Rp = 1.15 0.09 RJup and a mass of Mp = 1.0 0.1 MJup, making it a mildly inflated hot Jupiter. It is the first hot Jupiter confirmed via Doppler tomography with an orbital period >5 days. The orbit is also marginally misaligned with respect to the stellar rotation, with λ = 21 6 measured using Doppler tomography.
