Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of Qatar-3b, Qatar-4b, and Qatar-5b, three new transiting planets identified by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey. The three planets belong to the hot Jupiter family, with orbital periods of PQ3b = 2.50792 days, PQ4b = 1.80539 days, and PQ5b = 2.87923 days. Follow-up spectroscopic observations reveal the masses of the planets to be MQ3b = 4.31 ± 0.47 MJ, MQ4b = 6.10 ± 0.54 MJ, and MQ5b = 4.32 ± 0.18 MJ, while model fits to the transit light curves yield radii of RQ3b = 1.096 ± 0.14 RJ, RQ4b = 1.135 ± 0.11 RJ, and RQ5b = 1.107 ± 0.064 RJ. The host stars are low-mass main sequence stars with masses and radii MQ3 = 1.145 ± 0.064 M☉, MQ4 = 0.896 ± 0.048 M☉, MQ5 = 1.128 ± 0.056 M☉ and RQ3 = 1.272 ± 0.14 R☉, RQ4 = 0.849 ± 0.063 R☉, and RQ5 = 1.076 ± 0.051 R☉ for Qatar-3, 4, and 5 respectively. The V magnitudes of the three host stars are VQ3 = 12.88, VQ4 = 13.60, and VQ5 = 12.82. All three new planets can be classified as heavy hot Jupiters (M > 4 MJ).
