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}…
NGTS-4b: A sub-Neptune Transiting in the Desert
Richard G. West, Edward Gillen, Daniel Bayliss +48
We report the discovery of NGTS-4b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a 13th magnitude K-dwarf in a 1.34d orbit. NGTS-4b has a mass M=M_E and radius R=…
A low-mass eclipsing binary within the fully convective zone from the NGTS
S. L. Casewell, L. Raynard, C. A. Watson +22
We have discovered a new, near-equal mass, eclipsing M dwarf binary from the Next Generation Transit Survey. This system is only one of 3 field age ( 1 Gyr), late M dwarf eclips…
The Origin of RNA Precursors on Exoplanets
Paul Brandon Rimmer, Jianfeng Xu, Samantha Thompson +3
Given that the macromolecular building blocks of life were likely produced photochemically in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) light, we identify some general constraints on which…
Automatic vetting of planet candidates from ground based surveys: Machine learning with NGTS
David J. Armstrong, Maximilian N. Günther, James McCormac +22
State of the art exoplanet transit surveys are producing ever increasing quantities of data. To make the best use of this resource, in detecting interesting planetary systems or in…
Unmasking the hidden NGTS-3Ab: a hot Jupiter in an unresolved binary system
Maximilian N. Günther, Didier Queloz, Edward Gillen +36
We present the discovery of NGTS-3Ab, a hot Jupiter found transiting the primary star of an unresolved binary system. We develop a joint analysis of multi-colour photometry, centro…
