| Well that's new: WASP-47b seems like a rather typical hot Jupiter, and given the lack of nearby companions to HJs so far, this seems quite unexpected. Implications for HJ migration mechanisms? - Quote :
- This compact set of planets in nearly circular, coplanar orbits demonstrates that at least a subset of Jupiter-size planets can migrate in close to their host star in a dynamically quiet manner.
Presumably this system will end up getting a K2 number in due course. | |

| Of course it will get K2 number and is really surprising .Mass of the inner planet 1.817 earth radius is less than 8.9 earth mass but being so close to host surely planet has no volatiles and for sure is rocky with mass at least 7.5 earths.I wonder what results would bring exploring other WASP, HAT and COROT planets | |

| Huzzah!
This was something picked out by Hans, a Planet Hunters member, in the raw K2 data. It got picked up by Vanderburg (who does the lightcurve processing), and then after some consultation it got quickly analysed and written up in just over a week. They were quite devoted to being firt to the call, I guess. I did have some minor input (I was first to point out that the star was WASP-47), but nothing much.
At first, I was skeptical that the extra signals were real. b appears to be a completely normal clump Hot Jupiter, and for all of those found by K1, none of them show any extra signals as here. However, everything seemed fine after detrending, and the professionals agreed that they looked bona-fide. One must wonder, then, why such systems are so rare…
c appears to be quite similar to 55 Cancri e, to the extent that they ought to have similar abundances as they both orbit super-metal-rich stars. If they were to have similar densities, then c's RV semi-amplitude would be ~7 m/s, which is definitely achievable with current spectrographs. d would be difficult, with a semi-amplitude of ~3 m/s, but improving the TTV mass measurement is certainly a possibility - indeed, I expect that a combined RV + TTV analysis would be highly applicable to this system.
Anyway… this is a very interesting system, and it will likely be seeing a fair bit of attention in the near future. It'll probably be one of K2's most remarkable discoveries, as well. | |

| Quite a change from the WASP-47b discovery paper, which it shared with six other systems. In that paper, the section dedicated to the system was all of two paragraphs long, of which the first was a brief summary of stellar properties and the second consisted of the following sentence: - Quote :
- With an orbital period of 4.16 d, a mass of 1.14 MJup and a radius of 1.15 RJup WASP-47b is an entirely typical hot Jupiter.
There were 19 RVs and it isn't clear how many transits were observed. I have to wonder how many similar systems are hiding in sparse RV data and small transit sets, particularly if they are typically more misaligned than the WASP-47 configuration and/or produce weaker TTVs. | |

| Whenever we come across a system like this, I always keep in mind a sort of anthropic principle: There are going to be outliers, and no single outlier is necessarily cause to reexamine planet formation mechanisms. WASP-47's unusual set-up may be a fluke, which is why nothing similar was found in the Kepler dataset. It's worth noting that the system is generally similar to the inner planetary system at 55 Cancri. _________________ Caps Lock: Cruise control for 'Cool'!

| I am not sure if anybody noticed but we have another gas giant planet in this system with 571 days period | |

| That 571-day period for WASP-47 looks interesting but the phase coverage isn't ideal. Interesting configuration if real though.
EDIT: though apparently there's a forthcoming paper about it (a submitted paper by Neveau-VanMalle et al. is mentioned in the Sanchis-Ojeda et al. paper) | |

| Looks like WASP-47couter is in the HZ (WASP-47cinner definitely isn't), though probably not a good candidate for sufficiently massive satellites to maintain habitable conditions. Have to wonder what (if anything) is in the gap between the outer two planets... | |

| The original paper has now been updated to version 2, and the planets redesignated. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.02411v2.pdfThe 0.8-day planet is now WASP-47e, while the 9-day planet is WASP-47d. | |

| So WASP-47e turns out to be a 1.8 Earth radii rocky planet, which is consistent with there being a dependence of the super-Earth/sub-Neptune transition on the incident flux. | |

| WASP-47 e appears a "cannonball" with nearly 1.5 times the gravity of Jupiter then, whereas WASP-47 d is a lesser gas giant with gravity lower than the Earth, more similar to Uranus or Neptune. Really an interesting system, somehow vaguely similar to Rho1 Cancri. I wonder if other WASP transiting planet hosts are harbouring multiplanet systems as much peculiar.
I'm thinking of WASP-3, 4, 5 and 10 with controversial transit timing variations and so are WASP-8 Ab, 22 and 34 b suspected to host long-period substellar companions, likely massive gas giants. | |

| Vanderburg et al. "Precise Masses in the WASP-47 System" https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.00026The mass of WASP-47e is decreased relative to previous estimates (see the discussion in section 3.4), the composition is now inconsistent with being Earthlike at approximately 3.3-sigma. While it could be a rocky planet with an extremely low iron fraction, this seems unlikely given the high [Fe/H] of the star, so like 55 Cnc e it likely has a volatile-rich envelope. | |

| Non-detection of the phase curves of WASP-47e and WASP-47b Kane et al. "The Dark Planets of the WASP-47 Planetary System" https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08381 - Quote :
- The analysis rules out the detection of phase signatures for the two inner-most planets, enabling constraints upon their albedos and atmospheric properties. Our study concludes that WASP-47b is an example of a "dark" planet with a tentative geometric albedo of 0.016 and a 1σ upper limit of 0.17. The WASP-47e data are consistent with a broad range of albedos, but also show early evidence of having a relatively low albedo.
