Resolving period aliases for TESS monotransits recovered during the extended mission
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, David R. Anderson +8
We set out to explore how best to mitigate the number of period aliases for a transiting TESS system with two identified transits separated by a large time period on the order of y…
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…
NGTS-12b: A sub-Saturn mass transiting exoplanet in a 7.53 day orbit
Edward M. Bryant, Daniel Bayliss, Louise D. Nielsen +35
We report the discovery of the transiting exoplanet NGTS-12b by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The host star, NGTS-12, is a V=12.38 mag star with an effective temperatu…
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 $…
SpecPhot: A Comparison of Spectroscopic and Photometric Exoplanet Follow-Up Methods
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco
We set out a simulation to explore the follow-up of exoplanet candidates. We look at comparing photometric (transit method) and spectroscopic (Doppler shift method) techniques usin…
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…
CHEOPS observations of TESS primary mission monotransits
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, Monika Lendl +2
We set out to look at the overlap between CHEOPS sky coverage and TESS primary mission monotransits to determine what fraction of TESS monotransits may be observed by CHEOPS. We ca…
NGTS J214358.5-380102 -- NGTS discovery of the most eccentric known eclipsing M-Dwarf binary system
Jack S. Acton, Michael R. Goad, Liam Raynard +23
We present the discovery of NGTS J214358.5-380102, an eccentric M-dwarf binary discovered by the Next Generation Transit Survey. The system period of 7.618 days is greater than man…
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…
Three Short Period Jupiters from TESS
L. D. Nielsen, R. Brahm, F. Bouchy +74
We report the confirmation and mass determination of three hot Jupiters discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission: HIP 65Ab (TOI-129, TIC-201248411) is…
A long period (P = 61.8-d) M5V dwarf eclipsing a Sun-like star from TESS and NGTS
Samuel Gill, Benjamin F. Cooke, Daniel Bayliss +27
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has produced a large number of single transit event candidates which are being monitored by the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGT…
Mass determinations of the three mini-Neptunes transiting TOI-125
L. D. Nielsen, D. Gandolfi, D. J. Armstrong +77
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS, is currently carrying out an all-sky search for small planets transiting bright stars. In the first year of the TESS survey, steady…
