NGTS-11 b / TOI-1847 b: A transiting warm Saturn recovered from a TESS single-transit event

Samuel Gill, Peter J. Wheatley, Benjamin F. Cooke +37

We report the discovery of NGTS-11 b (=TOI-1847 b), a transiting Saturn in a 35.46-day orbit around a mid K-type star (Teff=5050 K). We initially identified the system from a singl…
