NGTS clusters survey - VI: Stellar rotation in seven young open clusters within the PLATO LOPS2 field

Alexander Hughes, Edward Gillen, Matthew Battley +18

We present NGTS measurements of rotation period distributions for FGKM stars in seven young open clusters spanning ~40--700 Myr within PLATO's first long-stare LOPS2 field. We meas…

The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field

Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56

In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…

Stellar X-ray variability and planetary evolution in the DS Tucanae system

George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Vincent Bourrier +5

We present an analysis of four Chandra observations of the 45 Myr old DS Tuc binary system. We observed X-ray variability of both stars on timescales from hours to months, includin…

NGTS-33b: A Young Super-Jupiter Hosted by a Fast Rotating Massive Hot Star

Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, Jose I. Vines +22

In the last few decades planet search surveys have been focusing on solar type stars, and only recently the high-mass regimes. This is mostly due to challenges arising from the lac…

TOI-2490b- The most eccentric brown dwarf transiting in the brown dwarf desert

Beth A. Henderson, Sarah L. Casewell, Andrés Jordán +40

We report the discovery of the most eccentric transiting brown dwarf in the brown dwarf desert, TOI02490b. The brown dwarf desert is the lack of brown dwarfs around main sequence s…

TOI-2447 b / NGTS-29 b: a 69-day Saturn around a Solar analogue

Samuel Gill, Daniel Bayliss, Solène Ulmer-Moll +63

Discovering transiting exoplanets with relatively long orbital periods (10 days) is crucial to facilitate the study of cool exoplanet atmospheres () and to u…

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…

TESS Duotransit Candidates from the Southern Ecliptic Hemisphere

Faith Hawthorn, Sam Gill, Daniel Bayliss +20

Discovering transiting exoplanets with long orbital periods allows us to study warm and cool planetary systems with temperatures similar to the planets in our own Solar system. The…

Spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing Polar MN Hya (RX J0929--24)

G. Ramsay, P. J. Wheatley

We present low--medium resolution optical spectroscopy of the eclipsing AM Her system MN Hya (RX J0929--24). We determine the magnetic field strength at the primary accretion regio…
