NGTS-EB-8: A double-lined eclipsing M+M binary discovered by citizen scientists
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Christopher A. Watson +54
We report the identification and characterization of a new binary system composed of two near-equal mass M-dwarfs. The binary NGTS-EB-8 was identified as a planet candidate in data…
Empirical Determination of the Lithium 6707.856 Å Wavelength in Young Stars
Justyn Campbell-White, Carlo F. Manara, Aurora Sicilia-Aguilar +20
Absorption features in stellar atmospheres are often used to calibrate photocentric velocities for kinematic analysis of further spectral lines. The Li feature at 6708 Å is…
A Low-mass, Pre-main-sequence Eclipsing Binary in the 40 Myr Columba Association -- Fundamental Stellar Parameters and Modeling the Effect of Star Spots
Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Adam L. Kraus, Andrew W. Mann +12
Young eclipsing binaries (EBs) are powerful probes of early stellar evolution. Current models are unable to simultaneously reproduce the measured and derived properties that are ac…
Populating the brown dwarf and stellar boundary: Five stars with transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit
Nolan Grieves, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl +52
We report the discovery of five transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit in close orbits around main sequence stars originally identified by the Transiting Exopla…
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…
TOI 694 b and TIC 220568520 b: Two Low-Mass Companions Near the Hydrogen Burning Mass Limit Orbiting Sun-like Stars
Ismael Mireles, Avi Shporer, Nolan Grieves +40
We report the discovery of TOI 694 b and TIC 220568520 b, two low-mass stellar companions in eccentric orbits around metal-rich Sun-like stars, first detected by the Transiting Exo…
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…
A long period (P = 61.8-d) M5V dwarf eclipsing a Sun-like star from TESS and NGTS
Samuel Gill, Benjamin F. Cooke, Daniel Bayliss +27
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has produced a large number of single transit event candidates which are being monitored by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGT…
Two intermediate-mass transiting brown dwarfs from the TESS mission
Theron W. Carmichael, Samuel N. Quinn, Alexander J. Mustill +28
We report the discovery of two intermediate-mass brown dwarfs (BDs), TOI-569b and TOI-1406b, from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission. TOI-569b has an orbital peri…
NGTS and WASP photometric recovery of a single-transit candidate from TESS
Samuel Gill, Daniel Bayliss, Benjamin F. Cooke +25
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\tess) produces a large number of single-transit event candidates, since the mission monitors most stars for only 27\,days. Such ca…
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…
A low-mass eclipsing binary within the fully convective zone from the NGTS
S. L. Casewell, L. Raynard, C. A. Watson +22
We have discovered a new, near-equal mass, eclipsing M dwarf binary from the Next Generation Transit Survey. This system is only one of 3 field age ( 1 Gyr), late M dwarf eclips…
