Search for radio emission from the exoplanets Qatar-1b and WASP-80b near 150 MHz using the giant metrewave radio telescope.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present radio observations made towards the exoplanets Qatar-1b and WASP-80b near 150 MHz with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT). These targets are relatively nearby irradiated giant exoplanets, a hot Jupiter and a hot Saturn, with sizes comparable to Jupiter but different masses and lower densities. Both the targets are expected to host extended H/He envelopes like Jupiter, with comparable or larger magnetic moments. No radio emission was detected from these exoplanets, with 3σ limits of 5.9 and 5.2 mJy for Qatar-1b and WASP-80b, respectively, from these targeted observations. These are considerably deeper limits than those available for exoplanets from wide-field surveys at similar frequencies. We also present archival Very Large Array (VLA) observations of a previously reported radio source close to 61 Vir (which has three exoplanets). The VLA observations resolve the source, which we identify as an extragalactic radio source, i.e. a chance association with 61 Vir. Additionally, we cross-match a recent exoplanet catalogue with the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey ADR1 radio catalogue, but do not find any convincing associations.
