N2 - TheWide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey currently operates two installations, designated
SuperWASP-N and SuperWASP-S, located in the Northern and Southern hemispheres,
respectively. These installations are designed to provide high time-resolution photometry for
the purpose of detecting transiting extrasolar planets, asteroids, and transient events. Here,
we present results from a transit-hunting observing campaign using SuperWASP-N covering
a right ascension (RA) range of 06h < RA < 16h. This paper represents the fifth and final
in the series of transit candidates released from the 2004 observing season. In total, 729 335
stars from 33 fields were monitored with 130 566 having sufficient precision to be scanned for
transit signatures. Using a robust transit detection algorithm and selection criteria, six stars
were found to have events consistent with the signature of a transiting extrasolar planet based
on the photometry, including the known transiting planet XO-1b. These transit candidates are
presented here along with discussion of follow-up observations and the expected number of
candidates in relation to the overall observing strategy.
