Abstract

We report the discovery of two transiting hot Jupiters, WASP-65b (M_pl = 1.55 ± 0.16 M_J; R_pl = 1.11 ± 0.06 R_J), and WASP-75b (M_pl = 1.07 ± 0.05 M_J; R_pl = 1.27 ± 0.05 R_J). They orbit their host star every ~2.311, and ~2.484 days, respectively. The planet host WASP-65 is a G6 star (T_eff = 5600 K, [Fe/H] = −0.07 ± 0.07, age ≳8 Gyr); WASP-75 is an F9 star (T_eff = 6100 K, [Fe/H] = 0.07 ± 0.09, age ~ 3 Gyr). WASP-65b is one of the densest known exoplanets in the mass range 0.1 and 2.0 M_J (ρ_pl = 1.13 ± 0.08 ρ_J), a mass range where a large fraction of planets are found to be inflated with respect to theoretical planet models. WASP-65b is one of only a handful of planets with masses of ~1.5 M_J, a mass regime surprisingly underrepresented among the currently known hot Jupiters. The radius of WASP-75b is slightly inflated (≲10%) as compared to theoretical planet models with no core, and has a density similar to that of Saturn (ρ_pl = 0.52 ± 0.06 ρ_J).
