The Apparently Decaying Orbit of WASP-12b
We present new transit and occultation times for the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The data are compatible with a constant period derivative: P = -29 ± 3msyr ⁻¹ and P/P = 3.2 Myr. However, it is difficult to tell whether we have observed orbital decay or a portion of a 14-year apsidal precession cycle. If i...
