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 days, and OGLE-TR-132 with m = 1.01 ± 0.31 MJup, r = 1.15 +0.80 −0.13 RJup, P = 1.69 days. These detections bring to three the number of known "very hot Jupiter" (Jovian exoplanets like OGLE-TR-56 with periods around 1.5 days). This indicates that the accumulation of periods around 3 days found in radial velocity surveys does not reflect an absolute limit.
