HAT-P-32b Archives

The frame rotates with the planetary mean motion, so the position of observers rotates clockwise, with regions of start, pre, transit, post, and end shown in observations divided by black dotted lines. The logarithm of gas density is shown in the color scale. A low-density but relatively fast stellar wind expands from HAT-P-32 A at the coordinate origin and interacts with the outflow from HAT-P-32 b. The outflow from HAT-P-32 b is stretched into long, column-like tails leading and trailing the planet along the orbital path. These tidal tails are shaped by the advection of slow-moving planetary outflow in the star-planet gravitational field. Credit: M. MacLeod (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) and A.

Ephemeris Updates For Seven Selected HATNet Survey Transiting Exoplanets

by Keith CowingJune 2, 2023June 2, 2023

We refined the ephemeris of seven transiting exoplanets HAT-P-6b, HAT-P-12b, HAT-P-18b, HAT-P-22b, HAT-P-32b, HAT-P-33b, and HAT-P-52b. We observed 11 transits from eight observatories in different filters for HAT-P-6b and HAT-P-32b.
