NGTS clusters survey - VII. An Enigmatic Short-Period Circumsecondary Disk Candidate in Orion
Niamh Mallaghan, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Christopher A. Watson +31
Young stellar systems provide key insights into the processes governing star/planet formation, often exhibiting complex and evolving photometric variability. In this paper, we pres…

Alexander Hughes, Edward Gillen, Matthew Battley +18
We present NGTS measurements of rotation period distributions for FGKM stars in seven young open clusters spanning ~40--700 Myr within PLATO's first long-stare LOPS2 field. We meas…

We report the discovery and characterisation of NGTS-39 b (TIC 453147896 b), a warm Jupiter transiting a Sun-like star on a 58.2 day, eccentric (e = 0.386 +/- 0.019) orbit. NGTS-39…
Optimising transient discovery with Swift-XRT
S. Srivastava, P. A. Evans, M. R. Goad +1
The Living Swift-XRT Point Source Catalogue (LSXPS) enables near real-time searches for X-ray transients. Many detected candidates are faint, often near the XRT detection limit, an…
Modelling the diffuse continuum emission: the NLS1 Mrk 110
Michael R. Goad, Kirk T. Korista, Edward M. Cackett
We present detailed model diffuse continuum (DC) plus hydrogen emission line templates from a summation over a broad range in hydrogen gas densities. We address the effect of finit…
Understanding the Broad-line Region of Active Galactic Nuclei with Photoionization. II. Slim disks, Self-shadowing, and BLR sizes
Qiaoya Wu, Yue Shen, Chris Done +2
Reverberation-mapping (RM) measurements have revealed that high-accretion-rate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) systematically lie below the canonical broad-line region (BLR) radius -…
The unusually red delay spectrum of the low-mass black hole AGN NGC\,4051 as revealed by intensive continuum reverberation mapping with the Las Cumbres Observatory
Marcin Marculewicz, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Keith Horne +12
We present a two-year optical reverberation mapping campaign of NGC 4051, an active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosting a low-mass black hole (), using daily observ…
TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a 180 day transiting warm super-Jupiter
Toby Rodel, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +63
We present the discovery of TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a giant exoplanet with a radius of R and a mass of M on a long-…
A Phenomenological Study of the Accretion Disk in the Super-Eddington AGN I Zw 1
Farin Drewes, Roberta Vieliute, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban +11
The structure of the accretion disk in AGN is still an unsolved question, especially how it may change with Eddington ratio. Here we examine the accretion disk in the super-Eddingt…
A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP
Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53
Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…
TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star
Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29
Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…
Continuum Reverberation Mapping of 18 AGN Over Four Years
Jake A. Miller, Edward M. Cackett, Misty C. Bentz +3
Continuum reverberation mapping probes the size scale of the optical continuum-emitting region in active galactic nuclei (AGN). The source of this emission has long been thought to…
Intensive X-ray/UVOIR continuum reverberation mapping of the Seyfert AGN MCG+08-11-11
D. Kynoch, I. M. McHardy, E. M. Cackett +11
We present results from intensive (x3 daily), three-month-long X-ray, UV and optical monitoring of the bright Seyfert active galactic nucleus (AGN) MCG+08-11-11 with Swift, support…
The variability of active galaxies: I. Broad-band noise X-ray power spectra from XMM-Newton and Swift
Mehdy Lefkir, Simon Vaughan, Mike Goad +2
Accreting supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies are the engine of active galactic nuclei (AGN). X-ray light curves of unabsorbed AGN show dramatic random variability…
Detection and characterisation of a 106-day transiting Jupiter : TOI-2449 b / NGTS-36 b
S. Ulmer-Moll, S. Gill, R. Brahm +64
Only a handful of transiting giant exoplanets with orbital periods longer than 100 days are known. These warm exoplanets are valuable objects as their radius and mass can be measur…

We present ground-based, multi-band light curves of the AGN Mrk~509, NGC\,4151, and NGC\,4593 obtained contemporaneously with \sw\, monitoring. We measure cross-correlation lags re…
Echo mapping of the black hole accretion flow in NGC 7469
Raj Prince, Juan V. Hernández Santisteban, Keith Horne +20
Reverberation mapping (RM) can measure black hole accretion disc sizes and radial structure through observed time lags that should increase with wavelength as . Ou…
