Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of two hot-Jupiter planets, each orbiting one of the stars of a wide binary system. WASP-94A is an F8 type star hosting a transiting planet with a radius of 1.72±0.06RJup, a mass of 0.452±0.034MJup, and an orbital period of 3.95-days. The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect is clearly detected, and the measured projected spin-orbit angle indicates that the planet occupies a retrograde orbit. WASP-94B is an F9 stellar companion at an angular separation of 15'' (projected separation 2700au), hosting a gas giant with a minimum mass of 0.618±0.028MJup with a period of 2.008-days, detected by Doppler measurements. The orbital planes of the two planets are inclined relative to each other, indicating that at least one of them is inclined relative to the plane of the stellar binary. These hot Jupiters in a binary system bring new insights into the formation of close-in giant planets and the role of stellar multiplicity.
