Properties


NGTS-1 is an ordinary red dwarf with 61% the mass of our Sun, and is 42.7% smaller than the latter. It radiates at about 7% the Sun’s luminosity from its photosphere and has an effective temperature of 3,916 K, which gives it the orange hue of a M-type star. NGTS-1 has a solar metallicity, and rotates at a rate too low to be measured accurately.


Planetary system


The red dwarf is known to have one hot Jupiter orbiting it, which is very unusual for stars its type.[5][6]
