Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of HAT-P-67b, which is a hot-Saturn transiting a rapidly rotating F-subgiant. HAT-P-67b has a radius of Rp=2.085–0.071+0.096 RJ, and orbites a M*=1.642–0.072+0.155 M, R*=2.546–0.084+0.099 R host star in a ∼4.81 day period orbit. We place an upper limit on the mass of the planet via radial velocity measurements to be Mp 0.59 MJ, and a lower limit of 0.056 MJ by limitations on Roche lobe overflow. Despite being a subgiant, the host star still exhibits relatively rapid rotation, with a projected rotational velocity of vsinI*=35.8±1.1 km s–1, which makes it difficult to precisely determine the mass of the planet using radial velocities. We validated HAT-P-67b via two Doppler tomographic detections of the planetary transit, which eliminate potential eclipsing binary blend scenarios. The Doppler tomographic observations also confirm that HAT-P-67b has an orbit that is aligned to within 12°, in projection, with the spin of its host star. HAT-P-67b receives strong UV irradiation and is among one of the lowest density planets known, which makes it a good candidate for future UV transit observations in the search for an extended hydrogen exosphere.
