| Description |
The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) is a ground-based exoplanet survey designed to detect Neptune and super-Earth sized planets around bright host stars using the transit method. This data release includes 72 fields covering a FoV of 2.8 x 2.8 sq.deg. This is the light-curve catalogue of the Next Generation Transit Survey. Each light curve contains between 100000 and 200000 measurements.
