Stellar flares detected with the Next Generation Transit Survey
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Jack S. Acton +19
We present the results of a search for stellar flares in the first data release from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). We have found 610 flares from 339 stars, with spectr…
NGTS and HST insights into the long period modulation in GW Librae
P. Chote, B. T. Gaensicke, J. McCormac +17
Light curves of the accreting white dwarf pulsator GW Librae spanning a 7.5 month period in 2017 were obtained as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey. This data set comprise…
Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. II. A Nanoflare Explanation for Periodic Brightenings in Flare Stars observed by NGTS
Christopher J. Dillon, David B. Jess, Michail Mathioudakis +9
Several studies have documented periodic and quasi-periodic signals from the time series of dMe flare stars and other stellar sources. Such periodic signals, observed within quiesc…
An eclipsing M-dwarf close to the hydrogen burning limit from NGTS
Jack S. Acton, Michael R. Goad, Sarah L. Casewell +20
We present the discovery of NGTS J0930-18, an extreme mass ratio eclipsing M-dwarf binary system with an early M-dwarf primary and a late M-dwarf secondary close to the hydrogen bu…
NGTS clusters survey -- II. White-light flares from the youngest stars in Orion
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Jack S. Acton +18
We present the detection of high energy white-light flares from pre-main sequence stars associated with the Orion complex, observed as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (N…
NGTS J214358.5-380102 -- NGTS discovery of the most eccentric known eclipsing M-Dwarf binary system
Jack S. Acton, Michael R. Goad, Liam Raynard +23
We present the discovery of NGTS J214358.5-380102, an eccentric M-dwarf binary discovered by the Next Generation Transit Survey. The system period of 7.618 days is greater than man…
