On the ultraviolet anomalies of the WASP-12 and HD 189733 systems: Trojan satellites as a plasma source

We suggest an additional possible plasma source to explain part of the phenomena observed for the transiting hot Jupiters WASP-12b and HD 189733b in their ultraviolet (UV) light curves. In the proposed scenario, material outgasses from the molten surface of Trojan satellites on tadpole orbits near t...
