Paper Abstract
NGTS is a new ground-based transit survey aimed at detecting sub-Neptune sized exoplanets around bright stars. The
instrument will be installed at the ESO Paranal observatory in order to benefit from the excellent observing conditions and
follow-up synergy with the VLT and E-ELT. It will be a robotic facility composed of 12, 200 mm telescopes equipped with
2Kx2K NIR sensitive detectors. It is built on the legacy of the WASP experience.
