Notes.

(a)

Iron abundances are relative to the solar values of Asplund et al. (2009).

(b)

Spectral type estimated from Teff using the table in Gray (2008).

(c)

Impact parameter is the distance between the centre of the stellar disc and the transit chord: b = acosi/R.

(d)

Equilibrium temperature calculated assuming zero albedo and efficient redistribution of heat from the planet’s presumed permanent day-side to its night-side.
