NGTS-1 is a faint red dwarf located in the constellation Columba (constellation). With an apparent magnitude of 15.52, it is extremely faint, and requires a 305 millimeter telescope.
Discovery[edit]
NGTS-1 is the first star discovered by the Next-Generation Transit Survey in Europe. It is known to have at least 1 exoplanet around the size of Jupiter, which was discovered in 2017.[1]
Physical Properties[edit]
Class[edit]
This star is classified as an early M-type red dwarf.
Mass, Radius, and Temperature[edit]
NGTS-1 has a mass 61.7% of that of the Sun, with 57.3% it's radius. Being a cool dwarf, it has an effective temperature of 3916 degrees Kelvin, which gives it a orange hue.[1]
Planetary System[edit]
The red dwarf is known to have one Hot Jupiter orbiting it, which is usually impossible.[2]
