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…
Astroclimes -- measuring the abundance of CO and CH in the Earth's atmosphere using astronomical observations
Marcelo Aron Fetzner Keniger, David Armstrong, Matteo Brogi +2
Monitoring the abundance of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) is necessary to quantify their impact on global warming and climate change.…
The TOI-1117 Multi-planetary System: 3 sub-Neptunes, 1 in both the Neptunian Desert and Radius Valley
Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +33
We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass , radius , age Gyr and ef…
TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge
A. Castro-González, J. Lillo-Box, D. J. Armstrong +38
The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of 3-5 days. These features are thought…
Exploring the Neptunian Desert: Insights from a Homogeneous Planetary Sample
Lauren Doyle, David J. Armstrong, Lorena Acuña +26
In this paper, we present a homogeneous analysis of close-in Neptune planets. To do this, we compile a sample of TESS-observed planets using a ranking criterion which takes into ac…
The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap
David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39
NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…
