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}…

The population of hot subdwarf stars studied with Gaia II. The Gaia DR2 catalogue of hot subluminous stars

S. Geier, R. Raddi, N. P. Gentile Fusillo +1

Based on data from the ESA Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) and several ground-based, multi-band photometry surveys we compiled an all-sky catalogue of hot subluminous star cand…

Fast spectrophotometry of WD 1145+017

P. Izquierdo, P. Rodríguez-Gil, B. T. Gänsicke +16

WD 1145+017 is currently the only white dwarf known to exhibit periodic transits of planetary debris as well as absorption lines from circumstellar gas. We present the first simult…

A Data Release 2 catalogue of white dwarfs and a comparison with SDSS

Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +11

We present a catalogue of white dwarf candidates selected from the second data release of (DR2). We used a sample of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs from the Sloan…

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…

Anatomy of the hyper-runaway star LP 40-365 with Gaia

R. Raddi, M. A. Hollands, B. T. Gaensicke +4

LP 40-365 (aka GD 492) is a nearby low-luminosity hyper-runaway star with an extremely unusual atmospheric composition, which has been proposed as the remnant of a white dwarf that…

Further insight on the hypervelocity white dwarf, LP 40-365 (GD 492): a nearby emissary from a single-degenerate Type Ia supernova

R. Raddi, M. A. Hollands, D. Koester +4

The recently discovered hypervelocity white dwarf LP 40-65 (aka GD 492) has been suggested as the outcome of the failed disruption of a white dwarf in a sub-luminous Type Ia supern…
