NGTS clusters survey - VII. An Enigmatic Short-Period Circumsecondary Disk Candidate in Orion
Niamh Mallaghan, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Christopher A. Watson +31
Young stellar systems provide key insights into the processes governing star/planet formation, often exhibiting complex and evolving photometric variability. In this paper, we pres…

Searching for Protoplanets around MWC 758 and MWC 480 in Br- using Kernel Phase and SCExAO/CHARIS
Alexander Chaushev, Steph Sallum, Julien Lozi +6
Discovering new actively-accreting protoplanets is crucial to answering open questions about planet formation. However, identifying such planets at orbital distances where they are…
GJ 367b: A dense ultra-short period sub-Earth planet transiting a nearby red dwarf star
Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru +75
Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution p…

Nolan Grieves, Louise D. Nielsen, Jose I. Vines +31
We report the discovery of the massive hot Jupiter NGTS-13b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The V = 12.7 host star is likely in the subgiant evolutionary phase with l…
NGTS-14Ab: a Neptune-sized transiting planet in the desert
A. M. S. Smith, J. S. Acton, D. R. Anderson +35
Context: The sub-Jovian or Neptunian desert is a previously-identified region of parameter space where there is a relative dearth of intermediate-mass planets at short orbital peri…
An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert
James S. Jenkins, Matías R. Díaz, 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…
NGTS-12b: A sub-Saturn mass transiting exoplanet in a 7.53 day orbit
Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss, Louise D. Nielsen +35
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanet NGTS-12b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The host star, NGTS-12, is a V=12.38 mag star with an effective temperatu…
K2-280b -- a low density warm sub-Saturn around a mildly evolved star
Grzegorz Nowak, Enric Palle, Davide Gandolfi +57
We present an independent discovery and detailed characterisation of K2-280b, a transiting low density warm sub-Saturn in a 19.9-day moderately eccentric orbit (e = 0.35_{-0.04}^{+…
A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert
David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…
NGTS-8b and NGTS-9b: two non-inflated hot-Jupiters
Jean C. Costes, Christopher A. Watson, Claudia Belardi +35
We report the discovery, by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), of two hot-Jupiters NGTS-8b and NGTS-9b. These orbit a V = 13.68 K0V star (Teff = 5241 +/- 50 K) with a perio…
TOI-222: a single-transit TESS candidate revealed to be a 34-day eclipsing binary with CORALIE, EulerCam and NGTS
Monika Lendl, François Bouchy, Samuel Gill +58

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…
It takes two planets in resonance to tango around K2-146
Kristine W. F. Lam, Judith Korth, Kento Masuda +51
