NGTS-4b: A sub-Neptune Transiting in the Desert
Richard G. West, Edward Gillen, Daniel Bayliss +48
We report the discovery of NGTS-4b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a 13th magnitude K-dwarf in a 1.34d orbit. NGTS-4b has a mass M=M_E and radius R=…
Qatar Exoplanet Survey: Qatar-6b -- a grazing transiting hot Jupiter
Khalid Alsubai, Zlatan I. Tsvetanov, David W. Latham +14
We report the discovery of Qatar-6b, a new transiting planet identified by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey (QES). The planet orbits a relatively bright (V=11.44), early-K main-sequence…
An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert
James S. Jenkins, MatÃas R. DÃaz, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +81
About one out of 200 Sun-like stars has a planet with an orbital period shorter than one day: an ultra-short-period planet (Sanchis-ojeda et al. 2014; Winn et al. 2018). All of the…
The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS)
Peter J. Wheatley, Richard G. West, Michael R. Goad +43
We describe the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), which is a ground-based project searching for transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. NGTS builds on the legacy of previ…
NGTS-10b: The shortest period hot Jupiter yet discovered
James McCormac, Edward Gillen, James A. G. Jackman +44
We report the discovery of a new ultra-short period transiting hot Jupiter from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). NGTS-10b has a mass and radius of $2.162\,^{+0.092}_{-0.1…
NGTS-1b: A hot Jupiter transiting an M-dwarf
Daniel Bayliss, Edward Gillen, Philipp Eigmuller +40
We present the discovery of NGTS-1b, a hot-Jupiter transiting an early M-dwarf host () in a P=2.674d orbit discovered as part of the Next Generation Tra…
NGTS-6b: An Ultra Short Period Hot-Jupiter Orbiting an Old K Dwarf
Jose I. Vines, James S. Jenkins, Jack S. Acton +37
We report the discovery of a new ultra-short period hot Jupiter from the Next Generation Transit Survey. NGTS-6b orbits its star with a period of 21.17~h, and has a mass and radius…
The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203
We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…
