Scintillation-limited photometry with the 20-cm NGTS telescopes at Paranal Observatory

Scintillation-limited photometry with the 20-cm NGTS telescopes at Paranal Observatory

Ground-based photometry of bright stars is expected to be limited by atmospheric scintillation, although in practice observations are often limited by other sources of systematic noise. We analyse 122 nights of bright star ($G_{mag} < 11.5$) photometry using the 20-cm telescopes of the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) at the Paranal …
