A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: VI -- Analysis of the outbursting Be stars NSW284, Gaia19eyy, and VES263

Dirk Froebrich, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Carys Herbert +44

This paper is one in a series reporting results from small telescope observations of variable young stars. Here, we study the repeating outbursts of three likely Be stars based on…

A small actively-controlled high-resolution spectrograph based on off-the-shelf components

H. R. A. Jones, W. E. Martin, G. Anglada-Escudé +5

We present the design and testing of a prototype in-plane echelle spectrograph based on an actively controlled fibre-fed double-pass design. This system aims to be small and effici…

Efficient Follow-Up of Exoplanet Transits Using Small Telescopes

Peter Beck, Luke Robson, Mark Gallaway +2

This paper is to introduce an online tool for the prediction of exoplanet transit light curves. Small telescopes can readily capture exoplanet transits under good weather condition…

The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]

M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35

We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in…

WTS-2 b: a hot Jupiter orbiting near its tidal destruction radius around a K-dwarf

J. L. Birkby, M. Cappetta, P. Cruz +34

We report the discovery of WTS-2 b, an unusually close-in 1.02-day hot Jupiter (Mp=1.12MJ, Rp=1.363RJ) orbiting a K2V star, which has a possible gravitationally-bound M-dwarf compa…
