Abstract
Studying exoplanets enables us to better understand our place in the Universe. Transiting exoplanets, where the planet passes in front of its host star, provide us with a great wealth of information on the properties of the planet. In this thesis, I use high precision photometry from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to discover and characterise transiting exoplanets. I also include spectroscopic observations to monitor the radial velocity of the host stars in order to measure the planet mass.
I present the discovery of NGTS-12 b, a 1.05 RJ transiting exoplanet orbiting a
