The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS)
Peter J. Wheatley, Richard G. West, Michael R. Goad +43
We describe the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), which is a ground-based project searching for transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. NGTS builds on the legacy of previ…
Rate and nature of false positives in the CoRoT exoplanet search
J. M. Almenara, H. J. Deeg
Context. The CoRoT satellite searches for planets by applying the transit method, monitoring up to 12 000 stars in the galactic plane for 150 days in each observation run. This sea…
Ground-based photometry of space-based transit detections: Photometric follow-up of the CoRoT mission
H. J. Deeg, M. Gillon, A. Shporer +2
The motivation, techniques and performance of the ground-based photometric follow-up of transit detections by the CoRoT space mission are presented. Its principal raison d'être ari…
Removing systematics from the CoRoT light curves: I. Magnitude-Dependent Zero Point
T. Mazeh, P. Guterman, S. Aigrain +2
This paper presents an analysis that searched for systematic effects within the CoRoT exoplanet field light curves. The analysis identified a systematic effect that modified the ze…
Mass-radius relation of low and very low-mass stars revisited with the VLTI
B. -O. Demory, D. Segransan, T. Forveille +7
We measured the radii of 7 low and very low-mass stars using long baseline interferometry with the VLTI interferometer and its VINCI and AMBER near-infrared recombiners. We use the…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission V. CoRoT-Exo-4b: Stellar and planetary parameters
C. Moutou, H. Bruntt, T. Guillot +2
The CoRoT satellite has announced its fourth transiting planet (Aigrain et al. 2008) with space photometry. We describe and analyse complementary observations of this system perfor…
