Abstract

ABSTRACT We present seven new transiting hot Jupiters from the WASP-South survey. The planets are all typical hot Jupiters orbiting stars from F4 to K0 with magnitudes of V = 10.3-12.5. The orbital periods are all in the range of 3.9-4.6 d, the planetary masses range from 0.4 to 2.3 M<subscript>Jup</subscript> and the radii from 1.1 to 1.4 R<subscript>Jup</subscript>. In line with known hot Jupiters, the planetary densities range from Jupiter-like to inflated (ρ = 0.13-1.07ρ<subscript>Jup</subscript>). We use the increasing numbers of known hot Jupiters to investigate the distribution of their orbital periods and the 3-4 d 'pile-up'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
