We report the discovery of KELT-10b, the first transiting exoplanet discovered using the KELT-South telescope. KELT-10b is a highly inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting a relatively bright V = 10.7 star (TYC 8378-64-1), with Teff = 5948 ± 74 K, log g = 4.319_{-0.030}^{+0.020} and [Fe/H] = 0.09_{-0.10}^{+0.11}, an inferred mass M★ = 1.112_{-0.061}^{+0.055} M☉ and radius R★ = 1.209_{-0.035}^{+0.047} R☉. The planet has a radius Rp = 1.399_{-0.049}^{+0.069} RJ and mass Mp = 0.679_{-0.038}^{+0.039} MJ. The planet has an eccentricity consistent with zero and a semi-major axis a …

A historical problem for indirect exoplanet detection has been contending with the intrinsic variability of the host star. If the variability is periodic, it can easily mimic various exoplanet signatures, such as radial velocity (RV) variations that originate with the stellar surface rather than the presence of a planet. Here we present an update for the HD 99492 planetary system, using new RV and photometric measurements from the Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey. Our extended time series and subsequent analyses of the Ca ii H&K emission lines show that the host star has an activity cycle of ~13 years. …

We report the discovery of KELT-4Ab, an inflated, transiting Hot Jupiter orbiting the brightest component of a hierarchical triple stellar system. The host star is an F star with ${T}_{{\rm{eff}}}$ = $6206\pm 75$ K, $\mathrm{log}g$ = $4.108\pm 0.014$, $[{\rm{Fe}}/{\rm{H}}]$ = $-{0.116}_{-0.069}^{+0.065}$, ${M}_{*}$ = ${1.201}_{-0.061}^{+0.067}$ $\;{M}_{\odot }$, and ${R}_{*}$ = ${1.603}_{-0.038}^{+0.039}$ $\;{R}_{\odot }$. The best-fit linear ephemeris is ${\mathrm{BJD}}_{\mathrm{TDB}}$ $\;=\;2456193.29157\pm 0.00021$ $\quad +\quad E(2.9895936\pm 0.0000048)$. With a magnitude of V ~ 10, a planetary radius of ${1.699}_{-0.045}^{+0.046}$ $\;{R}_{{\rm{J}}}$, and a mass of ${0.902}_{-0.059}^{+0.060}$ $\;{M}_{{\rm{J}}}$, it is the brightest host among the population of inflated Hot Jupiters (RP > 1.5RJ), making it a …
