NLTT5306B: an inflated, weakly irradiated brown dwarf

S. L. Casewell, J. Debes, I. P. Braker +4

We present Spitzer observations at 3.6 and 4.5 microns and a near-infrared IRTF SpeX spectrum of the irradiated brown dwarf NLTT5306B. We determine that the brown dwarf has a spect…

Confirming new white dwarf-ultracool dwarf binary candidates

Miriam Hogg, Sarah Casewell, Graham Wynn +8

We present the results of a study to discover prospective new white dwarf-L dwarf binaries as identified by their near-infrared excesses in the UKIDSS catalogue. We obtained optica…

WD1032+011, an inflated brown dwarf in an old eclipsing binary with a white dwarf

S. L. Casewell, C. Belardi, S. G. Parsons +11

We present the discovery of only the third brown dwarf known to eclipse a non-accreting white dwarf. Gaia parallax information and multi-colour photometry confirm that the white dw…

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…

NGTS-7Ab: An ultra-short period brown dwarf transiting a tidally-locked and active M dwarf

James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Dan Bayliss +36

We present the discovery of NGTS-7Ab, a high mass brown dwarf transiting an M dwarf with a period of 16.2 hours, discovered as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). Th…

Signs of accretion in the white dwarf + brown dwarf binary NLTT5306

E. S. Longstaff, S. L. Casewell, G. A. Wynn +4

We present new XSHOOTER spectra of NLTT5306, a 0.44 0.04\msun white dwarf in a short period (101\,min) binary system with a brown dwarf companion that is likely to have previ…
