WASP-4b: A 12th magnitude transiting hot Jupiter in the southern hemisphere
WASP-4 was the first transiting hot Jupiter found by WASP-South and the first in the Southern hemisphere around a relatively bright star. Smalley has played a large role in WASP-South, contributing computer hardware, scripting and software expertise to the robotic operation of WASP-South and the highly automated data pipelining. As a result he is a co-author on all WASP-South planet discoveries. In addition he contributes the detailed spectroscopic analysis of the host stars of all WASP-South planets, including for this WASP-4 paper (which propagates into the overall star/planet system parameters). Smalley wrote the spectral analysis section of this paper.
