Abstract (from CDS):

We present the discovery of K2-113, a dense hot-Jupiter discovered using photometry from Campaign 8 of the Kepler-2 (K2) mission and high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up obtained with the FEROS spectrograph. The planet orbits a V = 13.68 solar analogue in a P=5.817  60+0.000  03–0.000  03 d orbit, and has a radius of 0.93+0.10–0.07R_ J_ and a mass of 1.29+0.13–0.14M_ J_. With a density of 1.97+0.60–0.53 g cm–3, the planet is among the densest systems known having masses below 2 MJ and T_ eq_ > 1000, and is just above the temperature limit at which inflation mechanisms are believed to start being important. Based on its mass and radius, we estimate that K2-113 should have a heavy element content of the order of ∼110 M⊕ or greater.
