Two new "very hot Jupiters" among the OGLE transiting candidates

Abstract

As a result of a radial velocity follow-up of OGLE planetary transit candidates in Carina, we report the discovery of two new transiting planets with very short orbital periods: OGLE-TR-113 with m=1.35+-0.22 MJup, r=1.08 +0.07-0.05 RJup, P=1.43 day, and OGLE-TR-132 with m=1.01+-0.31 MJup, r=1.15 +0.80-0.13 RJup, P=1.69 day. These detections bring to three the number of known "very hot Jupiters" (Jovian exoplanets like OGLE-TR-56 with periods much smaller than 3 days), indicating that the absence of such planets in radial velocity survey does not reflect an absolute limit.
