The Fe I 4377 Å Line as a Solar Faculae Indicator: Insights from Spectral Ratio Analysis

Katlyn L. Hobbs, Christopher A. Watson, Jean C. Costes +21

Faculae are a dominant source of stellar activity noise in radial velocity measurements, yet their low contrast and broad surface distribution make them difficult to track in disc-…

High-Precision Photometry with a scientific CMOS Camera: II On-Sky Testing of the Marana camera at the NGTS facility

Ioannis Apergis, Daniel Bayliss, Paul Chote +24

Modern scientific CMOS cameras offer very fast readout speeds and low read noise. In this study, we evaluate the performance of the Andor Marana CMOS camera through on-sky testing…

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…

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…

NGTS-EB-7, an eccentric, long-period, low-mass eclipsing binary

Toby Rodel, Christopher. A. Watson, Solène Ulmer-Moll +35

Despite being the most common types of stars in the Galaxy, the physical properties of late M dwarfs are often poorly constrained. A trend of radius inflation compared to evolution…

A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c

H. Yu, Z. Garai, M. Cretignier +98

The AU Microscopii planetary system is only 24 Myr old, and its geometry may provide clues about the early dynamical history of planetary systems. Here, we present the first 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…
