Two young planetary systems around field stars with ages between 20-320 Myr from TESS

George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Jonathan Irwin +46

Planets around young stars trace the early evolution of planetary systems. We report the discovery and validation of two planetary systems with ages Myr from observa…

An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert

James S. Jenkins, Matías R. Díaz, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +81

About one out of 200 Sun-like stars has a planet with an orbital period shorter than one day: an ultra-short-period planet (Sanchis-ojeda et al. 2014; Winn et al. 2018). All of the…

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-11 b / TOI-1847 b: A transiting warm Saturn recovered from a TESS single-transit event

Samuel Gill, Peter J. Wheatley, Benjamin F. Cooke +37

We report the discovery of NGTS-11 b (=TOI-1847 b), a transiting Saturn in a 35.46-day orbit around a mid K-type star (Teff=5050 K). We initially identified the system from a singl…

Two transiting hot Jupiters from the WASP survey: WASP-150b and WASP-176b

Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, Y. Almleaky +49

We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets from the WASP survey, WASP-150b and WASP-176b. WASP-150b is an eccentric ( = 0.38) hot Jupiter on a 5.6 day orbit around a $…

Simultaneous TESS and NGTS Transit Observations of WASP-166b

Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss, James McCormac +21

We observed a transit of WASP-166 b using nine NGTS telescopes simultaneously with TESS observations of the same transit. We achieved a photometric precision of 152 ppm per 30 minu…

Discovery and characterization of the exoplanets WASP-148b and c. A transiting system with two interacting giant planets

G. Hebrard, R. F. Diaz, A. C. M. Correia +39

We present the discovery and characterization of WASP-148, a new extrasolar system that includes at least two giant planets. The host star is a slowly rotating inactive late-G dwar…

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert

David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91

The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…
