A ground-based NUV secondary eclipse observation of KELT-9b
Matthew J. Hooton, Christopher A. Watson, Ernst J. W. de Mooij +2
KELT-9b is a recently discovered exoplanet with a 1.49 d orbit around a B9.5/A0-type star. The unparalleled levels of UV irradiation it receives from its host star put KELT-9b in i…
Extreme asteroids in the Pan-STARRS 1 Survey
Andrew McNeill, Alan Fitzsimmons, Robert Jedicke +7
Using the first 18 months of the Pan-STARRS 1 survey we have identified 33 candidate high-amplitude objects for follow-up observations and carried out observations of 22 asteroids.…
Revisiting the potassium feature of WASP-31b at high-resolution
Neale P. Gibson, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Thomas M. Evans +4
The analysis and interpretation of exoplanet spectra from time-series observations remains a significant challenge to our current understanding of exoplanet atmospheres, due to the…
NGTS-4b: A sub-Neptune Transiting in the Desert
Richard G. West, Edward Gillen, Daniel Bayliss +48
We report the discovery of NGTS-4b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a 13th magnitude K-dwarf in a 1.34d orbit. NGTS-4b has a mass M=M_E and radius R=…
Automatic vetting of planet candidates from ground based surveys: Machine learning with NGTS
David J. Armstrong, Maximilian N. Günther, James McCormac +22
State of the art exoplanet transit surveys are producing ever increasing quantities of data. To make the best use of this resource, in detecting interesting planetary systems or in…
Unmasking the hidden NGTS-3Ab: a hot Jupiter in an unresolved binary system
Maximilian N. Günther, Didier Queloz, Edward Gillen +36
We present the discovery of NGTS-3Ab, a hot Jupiter found transiting the primary star of an unresolved binary system. We develop a joint analysis of multi-colour photometry, centro…
NGTS-2b: An inflated hot-Jupiter transiting a bright F-dwarf
Liam Raynard, Michael R. Goad, Edward Gillen +42
We report the discovery of NGTS-2b, an inflated hot-Jupiter transiting a bright F5V star (2MASS J14202949-3112074; = K), discovered as part of the Ne…
An accurate mass determination for Kepler-1655b, a moderately-irradiated world with a significant volatile envelope
R. D. Haywood, A. Vanderburg, A. Mortier +32
We present the confirmation of a small, moderately-irradiated (F = 155 +/- 7 Fearth) Neptune with a substantial gas envelope in a P=11.8728787+/-0.0000085-day orbit about a quiet,…
Eyes on K2-3: A system of three likely sub-Neptunes characterized with HARPS-N and HARPS
M. Damasso, A. S. Bonomo, N. Astudillo-Defru +67
M-dwarf stars are promising targets for identifying and characterizing potentially habitable planets. K2-3 is a nearby (45 pc), early-type M dwarf hosting three small transiting pl…
