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…
Detection of a giant flare displaying quasi-periodic pulsations from a pre-main sequence M star with NGTS
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Chloe E. Pugh +18
We present the detection of an energetic flare on the pre-main sequence M3 star NGTS J121939.5-355557, which we estimate as only 2 Myr old. The flare had an energy of $3.2\pm^{0.4}…
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=…
A low-mass eclipsing binary within the fully convective zone from the NGTS
S. L. Casewell, L. Raynard, C. A. Watson +22
We have discovered a new, near-equal mass, eclipsing M dwarf binary from the Next Generation Transit Survey. This system is only one of 3 field age ( 1 Gyr), late M dwarf eclips…
