Revisiting WASP-47 with ESPRESSO and TESS
Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss

TL;DR
This study refines the orbital and physical parameters of the WASP-47 planetary system using TESS and ESPRESSO data, revealing detailed characteristics of the super-Earth WASP-47 e and insights into the system's formation.
Contribution
It provides the first precise mass and density measurements of WASP-47 e and updates the orbital ephemerides of the system's planets using new photometric and spectroscopic data.
Findings
WASP-47 e has a mass of 6.77±0.57 Earth masses and a density of 6.29±0.60 g/cm³.
Detected stellar rotation period of approximately 32.5 days.
Refined transit timing for WASP-47 b with a 17.4-minute shift.
Abstract
WASP-47 hosts a remarkable planetary system containing a hot Jupiter (WASP-47 b; P = 4.159 days) with an inner super-Earth (WASP-47 e; P = 0.7896 days), a close-orbiting outer Neptune (WASP-47 d; P = 9.031 days), and a long period giant planet (WASP-47 c; P = 588.4 days). We use the new TESS photometry to refine the orbital ephemerides of the transiting planets in the system, particularly the hot Jupiter WASP-47 b, for which we find an update equating to a 17.4 min shift in the transit time. We report new radial velocity measurements from the ESPRESSO spectrograph for WASP-47, which we use to refine the masses of WASP-47 d and WASP-47 e, with a high cadence observing strategy aimed to focus on the super-Earth WASP-47 e. We detect a periodic modulation in the K2 photometry that corresponds to a 32.53.9 day stellar rotation, and find further stellar activity signals in our ESPRESSO…
