THE PLANET

- Basic data :
	Name WASP-12 b Discovered in 2008     M.sin i 1.41 (± 0.1) MJ  ref. Semi major axis 0.0229 (± 0.0008) AU  ref. Orbital period 1.091435 (± 4e-06) days  ref. Eccentricity 0.017 (−0.01+0.015)    ref. ω -95 (± 3) deg.  ref. Radius 1.79 (± 0.09) RJ  ref. Ttransit 2454508.9761 (± 0.0002)   ref. Inclination 83.1 (−1.1+1.4) deg.  ref. Update 13/04/10

- No molecule detected

- Remarks :
	20 Mar. 2010: Campo et al (2010) have observed two secondary transits, leading to a precession rate for ω of ω'=0.02 deg./day. Warning: The period given in the table is the present sideral period Ps. For the calculation of future transit ephemeris TE, observers should use eqs. (7) and (8) of Campo et al. 2010.
