These planets are the first to be found during the UK-led SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) programme.

This is now named V2362 Cygnus, and it reached a peak magnitude of 8 on 6 April 2006. IPHAS observations of this same part of the sky were obtained on 3 August 2004, and have now been found to include a (rare) detection of the nova progenitor at r' = 20.30(+/-0.05). This valuable result has been reported as ATEL No. 795. jma@ing.iac.es (Javier Mendez) Thu, 15 Jun 2006 16:00:00 GMT http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=795 Slow Motion Mergers in Galaxy Clusters Provide Conditions to Transform Spirals to Smooth Disks http://www.ing.iac.es/PR/press/nam2006.html Slow Motion Mergers in Galaxy Clusters Provide Conditions to Transform Spirals to Smooth Disks is a press release issued by the Royal Astronomical Association during the National Astronomy Meeting 2006 in Leicester.
