New papers: exoplanets and stellar results from NGTS

Explanetary radii versus their equilibrium temperature, NGTS-2b is indicated as one of the known inflated exoplanets, from Raynard et al. (2018).
The Next Generation Transit Survey has had some new discoveries over the past few months which I was happy to contribute to. We’ve discovered a new exoplanet (an inflated hot Jupiter), a fully-convective eclipsing binary system, and a giant flare with pulsations on a pre-main sequence M star. The papers are:

“NGTS-2b: an inflated hot-Jupiter transiting a bright F-dwarf”, L. Raynard and 44 co-authors including K. Poppenhaeger, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 481, Issue 4, p.4960-4970 (2018)

“A low-mass eclipsing binary within the fully convective zone from the Next Generation Transit Survey”, S. Casewell and 24 co-authors including K. Poppenhaeger, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 481, Issue 2, p.1897-1907 (2018)

“Detection of a giant flare displaying quasi-periodic pulsations from a pre-main-sequence M star by the Next Generation Transit Survey”, J. Jackman and 20 co-authors including K. Poppenhaeger, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 482, Issue 4, p.5553-5566 (2019)
