Discovery of WASP-113b and WASP-114b, two inflated hot-Jupiters with contrasting densities

We present the discovery and characterisation of the exoplanets WASP-113b and WASP-114b by the WASP survey, SOPHIE and CORALIE. The planetary nature of the systems was established by performing follow-up photometric and spectroscopic observations. The follow-up data were combined with the WASP-photometry and analysed with an MCMC code to obtain system parameters. The host stars WASP-113 and WASP-114 are very similar. They are both early G-type stars with an effective temperature of ~5900K, [Fe/H] ~0.12 and T_{eff} ~4.1 dex. However, WASP-113 is older than WASP-114. Although the planetary companions have similar radii, WASP-114b is almost 4 times heavier than WASP-113b. WASP-113b has a mass of 0.48 M_{Jup} and an orbital period of ~4.5 days; WASP-114b has a mass of 1.77 M_{Jup} and an orbital period of ~1.5 days. Both planets have inflated radii, in particular WASP-113 with a radius anomaly of Re=0.35. The high scale height of WASP-113b (~950 km ) makes it a good target for follow-up atmospheric observations.
