SAAO 1.0m Telescope and discovery of a 'Forbidden' Planet in the 'Neptunian Desert'
Abstract
The planet NGTS-4b is about 20 times the mass of the Earth and about 3 times the size. The discovery relied heavily on observations made by Dr Matt Burleigh using the Sutherland High-speed Optical Cameras (SHOC) on the SAAO 1.0m Telescope in November 2017.
