Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss, Louise D. Nielsen +35
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanet NGTS-12b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The host star, NGTS-12, is a V=12.38 mag star with an effective temperatu…
NGTS-11 b / TOI-1847 b: A transiting warm Saturn recovered from a TESS single-transit event

We report the discovery of NGTS-11 b (=TOI-1847 b), a transiting Saturn in a 35.46-day orbit around a mid K-type star (Teff=5050 K). We initially identified the system from a singl…
A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert
David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…
