Thanks a lot for your comments on my paper. I just thought I'd reply to say that the low surface gravity of OGLE-10 (4.5 m/s) is real - it's just a strangely bloated planet. Theorists are still scratching their heads over this one. There was a new transiting planet found last week (HAT-2), but this one has a huge surface gravity because it's radius is similar to Jupiter's but its mass is eight times larger. An interesting object, but this time in quite good agreement with what theorists have been predicting. John |
