A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP
Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53
Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…

We report the discovery of the most eccentric transiting brown dwarf in the brown dwarf desert, TOI02490b. The brown dwarf desert is the lack of brown dwarfs around main sequence s…
Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3
Michaël Gillon, Peter P. Pedersen, Benjamin V. Rackham +81
Located at the bottom of the main sequence, ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low luminosity has left their planetary p…
Planet Hunters NGTS: New Planet Candidates from a Citizen Science Search of the Next Generation Transit Survey Public Data
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Samuel Gill +35
We present the results from the first two years of the Planet Hunters NGTS citizen science project, which searches for transiting planet candidates in data from the Next Generation…
Three Warm Jupiters around Solar-analog stars detected with TESS
