Abstract:
    We report the discovery of WASP-8, a transiting planet of
    2.25±0.08M{jup} on a strongly inclined eccentric 8.15-day orbit,
    moving in a retrograde direction to the rotation of its late-G host
    star. Evidence is found that the star is in a multiple stellar system
    with two other companions. The dynamical complexity of the system
    indicates that it may have experienced secular interactions such as
    the Kozai mechanism or a formation that differs from the "classical"
    disc-migration theory.
