NGTS clusters survey - VII. An Enigmatic Short-Period Circumsecondary Disk Candidate in Orion

Niamh Mallaghan, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Christopher A. Watson +31

Young stellar systems provide key insights into the processes governing star/planet formation, often exhibiting complex and evolving photometric variability. In this paper, we pres…

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…

TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star

Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29

Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…

ATREIDES I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system

V. Bourrier, M. Steiner, A. Castro-González +75

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by the interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Neptunian Desert, Ridge, and Savanna illustrate the sensitivity…

Detection and characterisation of a 106-day transiting Jupiter : TOI-2449 b / NGTS-36 b

S. Ulmer-Moll, S. Gill, R. Brahm +64

Only a handful of transiting giant exoplanets with orbital periods longer than 100 days are known. These warm exoplanets are valuable objects as their radius and mass can be measur…
