TWO HOT JUPITERS FROM K2 CAMPAIGN 4
Journal article, 2016

We confirm the planetary nature of two transiting hot Jupiters discovered by the Kepler spacecraft's K2 extended mission in its Campaign 4, using precise radial velocity measurements from FIES @NOT, HARPS-N@TNG, and the coude spectrograph on the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m telescope. K2-29 b (EPIC 211089792b) transits a K1V star with a period of 3.2589263 +/- 0.0000015 days; its orbit is slightly eccentric (e = 0.084(-0.023)(+0.032)). It has a radius of R-p = 1.000(-0.067)(+0.071) R-J and a mass of M-p = 0.6131-0.613-0.026 M-J. Its host star exhibits significant rotational variability, and we measure a rotation period of pot = 10.777 +/- 0.031 days. K2-30 b (EPIC 210957318 b) transits a G6V star with a period of 4.098503 +/- 0.000011 days. It has a radius of R-p = 1.039(-0.051)(+0.050) Ri and a mass of M-p = 0.579(-0.027)(+0.028) M-J. The star has a low metallicity for a hot Jupiter host, [Fe/H] = 0.15 +/- 0.05.
