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}…
K2-265 b: A Transiting Rocky Super-Earth
K. W. F. Lam, A. Santerne, S. G. Sousa +34
We report the discovery of the super-Earth K2-265 b detected with K2 photometry. The planet orbits a bright (V_mag = 11.1) star of spectral type G8V with a period of 2.37 days. We…
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…
An Earth-sized exoplanet with a Mercury-like composition
A. Santerne, B. Brugger, D. J. Armstrong +43
The Earth, Venus, Mars, and some extrasolar terrestrial planets have a mass and radius that is consistent with a mass fraction of about 30% metallic core and 70% silicate mantle. A…
Ground-based detection of G star superflares with NGTS
James A. G. Jackman, Peter J. Wheatley, Chloe E. Pugh +19
We present high cadence detections of two superflares from a bright G8 star (V = 11.56) with the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). We improve upon previous superflare detectio…
