NGTS clusters survey -- III: A low-mass eclipsing binary in the Blanco 1 open cluster spanning the fully convective boundary
Gareth D. Smith, Edward Gillen, Didier Queloz +27
We present the discovery and characterisation of an eclipsing binary identified by the Next Generation Transit Survey in the 115 Myr old Blanco 1 open cluster. NGTS J0002-29…
Stellar flares detected with the Next Generation Transit Survey
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Jack S. Acton +19
We present the results of a search for stellar flares in the first data release from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). We have found 610 flares from 339 stars, with spectr…
An eclipsing M-dwarf close to the hydrogen burning limit from NGTS
Jack S. Acton, Michael R. Goad, Sarah L. Casewell +20
We present the discovery of NGTS J0930-18, an extreme mass ratio eclipsing M-dwarf binary system with an early M-dwarf primary and a late M-dwarf secondary close to the hydrogen bu…
NGTS clusters survey -- II. White-light flares from the youngest stars in Orion
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Jack S. Acton +18
We present the detection of high energy white-light flares from pre-main sequence stars associated with the Orion complex, observed as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (N…
Mon-735: A new low-mass pre-main sequence eclipsing binary in NGC 2264
Edward Gillen, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, John Stauffer +3
We present Mon-735, a detached double-lined eclipsing binary (EB) member of the 3 Myr old NGC 2264 star forming region, detected by Spitzer. We simultaneously model the Spitz…
NGTS clusters survey. I. Rotation in the young benchmark open cluster Blanco 1
Edward Gillen, Joshua T. Briegal, Simon T. Hodgkin +18
We determine rotation periods for 127 stars in the ~115 Myr old Blanco 1 open cluster using ~200 days of photometric monitoring with the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). Thes…
