K2-30b and K2-34b: two inflated hot-Jupiters around Solar-type stars

Abstract

We report the discovery of the two hot-Jupiters K2-30b and K2-34b. The two planets were detected transiting their main-sequence star with periods $\sim$ 4.099 and $\sim$ 2.996 days, in campaigns 4 and 5 of the extension of the Kepler mission, K2. Subsequent ground-based radial velocity follow-up with SOPHIE, HARPS-N and CAFE, established the planetary nature of the transiting objects. We analyzed the transit signal, radial velocity and spectral energy distributions of the two systems to characterize their properties. Both planets (K2-30b and K2-34b) are bloated hot-Jupiters (1.25 $R_{\rm Jup}$ and 1.33 $R_{\rm Jup}$) around relatively bright (V =13.5 and V=11.5), slow rotating main-sequence (G8 and F9) stars. Thus, these systems are good candidates for detecting the Rossiter-MacLaughlin effect to measure their obliquity and for atmospheric studies.
