Gunn r photometry of WASP-30

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report the discovery of a 61-Jupiter-mass brown dwarf (BD), which transits its F8V host star, WASP-30, every 4.16 days.

Description

From a range of age indicators we estimate the system age to be 1-2Gyr. We derive a radius (0.89+/-0.02R_Jup_) for the companion that is consistent with that predicted (0.914R_Jup_) by a model of a 1Gyr old, non-irradiated BD with a dusty atmosphere.

The location of WASP-30b in the minimum of the mass-radius relation is consistent with the quantitative prediction of Chabrier & Baraffe, thus confirming the theory.
