SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates XII. KOI-1257 b: a highly eccentric three-month period transiting exoplanet
In this paper we report a new transiting warm giant planet: KOI-1257 b. It
was first detected in photometry as a planet-candidate by the
space telescope and then validated thanks to a radial velocity follow-up with
the SOPHIE spectrograph. It orbits its host star with a period of 86.647661 d
3 s and a high eccentricity of 0.772 0.045. The planet transits the
main star of a metal-rich, relatively old binary system with stars of mass of
0.99 0.05 Msun and 0.70 0.07 Msun for the primary and secondary,
respectively. This binary system is constrained thanks to a self-consistent
modelling of the transit light curve, the SOPHIE radial
velocities, line bisector and full-width half maximum (FWHM) variations, and
the spectral energy distribution. However, future observations are needed to
confirm it. The PASTIS fully-Bayesian software was used to validate the nature
of the planet and to determine which star of the binary system is the transit
host. By accounting for the dilution from the binary both in photometry and in
radial velocity, we find that the planet has a mass of 1.45 0.35 Mjup,
and a radius of 0.94 0.12 Rjup, and thus a bulk density of 2.1
1.2 g.cm. The planet has an equilibrium temperature of 511 50 K,
making it one of the few known members of the warm-jupiter population. The
HARPS-N spectrograph was also used to observe a transit of KOI-1257 b,
simultaneously with a joint amateur and professional photometric follow-up,
with the aim of constraining the orbital obliquity of the planet. However, the
Rossiter-McLaughlin effect was not clearly detected, resulting in poor
constraints on the orbital obliquity of the planet.Comment: 39 pages, 17 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy &

Photometric and spectroscopic detection of the primary transit of the 111-day-period planet HD 80606 b
We report the detection of the primary transit of the extra-solar planet HD
80606 b, thanks to photometric and spectroscopic observations performed at
Observatoire de Haute-Provence, simultaneously with the CCD camera at the
120-cm telescope and the SOPHIE spectrograph at the 193-cm telescope. We
observed the whole egress of the transit and partially its central part, in
both data sets with the same timings. The ingress occurred before sunset and
was not observed. The full duration of the transit was between 9.5 and 17.2
hours. The data allows the planetary radius to be measured (Rp = 0.9 +- 0.1
RJup) and other parameters of the system to be refined. Radial velocity
measurements show the detection of a prograde Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, and
provide a hint for a spin-orbit misalignment. If confirmed, this misalignment
would corroborate the hypothesis that HD 80606 b owes its unusual orbital
configuration to Kozai migration. HD 80606 b is by far the transiting planet on
the longest period detected today. Its unusually small radius reinforces the
observed relationship between the planet radius and the incident flux received
from the star and opens new questions for theory. Orbiting a quite bright star
(V=9), it opens opportunities to numerous follow-up studies.Comment: revised after acceptanc
