NLTT5306: The shortest Period Detached White Dwarf + Brown Dwarf Binary
P. R. Steele, R. P. Saglia, M. R. Burleigh +6
We have spectroscopically confirmed a brown dwarf mass companion to the hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf NLTT5306. The white dwarf's atmospheric parameters were measured using Sloan…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +36
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Light cur…
Discovery and characterisation of detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
J. L. Birkby, S. V. Nefs, S. T. Hodgkin +17
We report the discovery of 16 detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries with J<16 mag and provide a detailed characterisation of three of them, using high-precision infrared light curves…
Four ultra-short period eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
S. V. Nefs, J. L. Birkby, I. A. G. Snellen +16
We report on the discovery of four ultra-short period (P<0.18 days) eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey. Their orbital periods are significantly shorter than of…
