摘要
We report the discovery of the planets WASP-20b and WASP-28b along with measurements of their sky-projected orbital obliquities. WASP-20b is an inflated, Saturn-mass planet (0.31 M-Jup; 1.46 R-Jup) in a 4.9-day, near-aligned (lambda = 12.7 +/- 4.2.) orbit around CD-24 102 (V = 10.7; F9). Due to the low density of the planet and the apparent brightness of the host star, WASP-20 is a good target for atmospheric characterisation via transmission spectroscopy. WASP-28b is an inflated, Jupiter-mass planet (0.91 M-Jup; 1.21 R-Jup) in a 3.4-day, near-aligned (lambda = 8 +/- 18 degrees) orbit around a V = 12, F8 star. As intermediate-mass planets in short orbits around aged, cool stars (7(-1)(+2) Gyr and 6000 +/- 100 K for WASP-20; 5(-2)(+3) Gyr and 6100 +/- 150 K for WASP-28), their orbital alignment is consistent with the hypothesis that close-in giant planets are scattered into eccentric orbits with random alignments, which are then circularised and aligned with their stars' spins via tidal dissipation.
