NGTS-39 b: A 58 d transiting warm Jupiter in an eccentric orbit

Ioannis Apergis, Daniel Bayliss, Solène Ulmer-Moll +53

We report the discovery and characterisation of NGTS-39 b (TIC 453147896 b), a warm Jupiter transiting a Sun-like star on a 58.2 day, eccentric (e = 0.386 +/- 0.019) orbit. NGTS-39…

Brightness, Colour, Polarisation: A Multi-Instrument Observation Campaign of the Gorizont-6 Satellite

Robert J. S Airey, Paul Chote, Klaas Wiersema +15

We present a coordinated multi-instrument photometric and polarimetric study of the defunct geosynchronous satellite, Gorizont-6. This observation campaign combined wide-field mult…

TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a 180 day transiting warm super-Jupiter

Toby Rodel, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +63

We present the discovery of TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a giant exoplanet with a radius of R and a mass of M on a long-…

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…

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…

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…

NGTS-30 b/TOI-4862 b: An 1 Gyr old 98-day transiting warm Jupiter

M. P. Battley, K. A. Collins, S. Ulmer-Moll +63

Long-period transiting exoplanets bridge the gap between the bulk of transit- and Doppler-based exoplanet discoveries, providing key insights into the formation and evolution of pl…

NGTS-28Ab: A short period transiting brown dwarf

Beth A. Henderson, Sarah L. Casewell, Michael R. Goad +43

We report the discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a M1 host star. We first identified the brown dwarf within the Next Generation Transit Survey data, with supporting observations f…

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. III. Evidence of Enhanced Nanoflaring Rates in Fully Convective stars as Observed by the NGTS

S. D. T. Grant, D. B. Jess, C. J. Dillon +11

Previous examinations of fully-convective M-dwarf stars have highlighted enhanced rates of nanoflare activity on these distant stellar sources. However, the specific role the conve…

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. II. A Nanoflare Explanation for Periodic Brightenings in Flare Stars observed by NGTS

Christopher J. Dillon, David B. Jess, Michail Mathioudakis +9

Several studies have documented periodic and quasi-periodic signals from the time series of dMe flare stars and other stellar sources. Such periodic signals, observed within quiesc…
