Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery by the WASP transit survey of two new highly irradiated giant planets. WASP-64b is slightly more massive (1.271±0.068MJup) and larger (1.271±0.039RJup) than Jupiter, and is in very-short (a=0.02648±0.00024AU, P=1.5732918±0.0000015-days) circular orbit around a V=12.3 G7-type dwarf (1.004±0.028M☉, 1.058±0.025R☉, Teff=5500±150K). Its size is typical of hot Jupiters with similar masses. WASP-72b has also a mass a bit higher than Jupiter's (1.461–0.056+0.059MJup) and orbits very close (0.03708±0.00050AU, P=2.2167421±0.0000081-days) to a bright (V=9.6) and moderately evolved F7-type star (1.386±0.055M☉, 1.98±0.24R☉, Teff=6250±100K). Despite its extreme irradiation (∼5.5x109erg/s/cm2), WASP-72b has a moderate size (1.27±0.20RJup) that could suggest a significant enrichment in heavy elements. Nevertheless, the errors on its physical parameters are still too high to draw any strong inference on its internal structure or its possible peculiarity.
