    • NGTS-19b: a high-mass transiting brown dwarf in a 17-d eccentric orbit 
      Acton, Jack S.; Goad, Michael R.; Burleigh, Matthew R.; Casewell, Sarah L.; Breytenbach, Hannes; Nielsen, Louise D.; Smith, Gareth; Anderson, David R.; Battley, Matthew P.; Bayliss, Daniel; Bouchy, François; Bryant, Edward M.; Csizmadia, Szilárd; Eigmüller, Philipp; Gill, Samuel; Gillen, Edward; Grieves, Nolan; Günther, Maximilian N.; Henderson, Beth A.; Hodgkin, Simon T.; Jackman, James A. G.; Jenkins, James Stewart; Lendl, Monika; McCormac, James; Moyano, Maximiliano; Nelson, Richard P.; Sefako, Ramotholo R.; Smith, Alexis M. S.; Stalport, Manu; Thomas, Jessymol K.; Tilbrook, Rosanna H.; Udry, Stéphane; West, Richard; Wheatley, Peter J.; Worters, Hannah L.; Vines, José I.; Alves Rodrigues, Douglas (Oxford University Press, 2021)
      We present the discovery of NGTS-19b, a high-mass transiting brown dwarf discovered by the Next Generation Transit Survey. We investigate the system using follow-up photometry from the South African Astronomical Observatory, ...
    • NGTS-4b: A sub-Neptune transiting in the desert 
      West, Richard G.; Gillen, Edward; Bayliss, Daniel; Burleigh, Matthew R.; Delrez, Laetitia; Günther, Maximilian N.; Hodgkin, Simon T.; Jackman, James A.G.; Jenkins, James Stewart; King, George; McCormac, James; Nielsen, Louise D.; Raynard, Liam; Smith, Alexis M.S.; Soto, Mar (Oxford University Press, 2019)
      We report the discovery of NGTS-4b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a 13th magnitude K-dwarf in a 1.34 d orbit. NGTS-4b has a mass M = 20.6 ± 3.0M⊕ and radius R = 3.18 ± 0.26 R⊕, which places it well within the ...
    • Scintillation-limited photometry with the 20-cm NGTS telescopes at Paranal observatory 
      O’Brien, Sean M.; Bayliss, Daniel; Osborn, James; Bryant, Edward M.; McCormac, James; Wheatley, Peter J.; Acton, Jack S.; Alves, Douglas R.; Anderson, David R.; Burleigh, Matthew R.; Casewell, Sarah L.; Gill, Samuel; Goad, Michael R.; Henderson, Beth A.; Jackman, James A. G.; Lendl, Monika; Tilbrook, Rosanna H.; Udry, Stéphane; Vines, Jose I.; West, Richard G. (Oxford University Press, 2022)
      Ground-based photometry of bright stars is expected to be limited by atmospheric scintillation, although in practice observations are often limited by other sources of systematic noise. We analyse 122 nights of bright star ...
    • Unmasking the hidden NGTS-3Ab: A hot Jupiter in an unresolved binary system 
      Günther, Maximilian N.; Queloz, Didier; Gillen, Edward; Delrez, Laetitia; Bouchy, François; McCormac, James; Smalley, Barry; Almleaky, Yaseen; Armstrong, David J.; Bayliss, Daniel; Burdanov, Artem; Burleigh, Matthew; Cabrera, Juan; Casewell, Sarah L.; Cooke, Benjamin F; Csizmadia, Szilárd; Ducrot, Elsa; Eigmuller, Philipp; Erikson, Anders; Gänsicke, Boris; Gibsonq, Neale; Gillon, Michaël; Goad, Michael; Jehin, Emmanuël; Jenkins, James Stewart; Louden, Tom; Moyano, Maximiliano; Murray, Catriona; Pollacco, Don; Poppenhaeger, Katja; Rauer, Heike; Raynard, Liam; Smith, Alexis; Sohy, Sandrine; Thompson, Samantha; Udry, Stéphane; Watson, Christopher; West, Richard; Wheatley, Peter (Oxford University Press, 2018)
      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, centroids, radial velocity (RV) cross-correlation ...
