New paper: Unmasking a hot Jupiter in an unresolved binary system
The NGTS planet-search project in which I take part has detected a new planet in an interesting system: “Unmasking the hidden NGTS-3Ab: a hot Jupiter in an unresolved binary system” 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 function (CCF) profiles and their bisector inverse slopes (BIS) to disentangle this three-body system.
