Studies of transiting Neptune-sized planets orbiting close to nearby bright stars can inform theories of planet formation because mass and radius and therefore mean density can be accurately estimated and compared with interior models. The distribution of such planets with stellar mass and orbital period relative to their Jovian-mass counterparts can test scenarios of orbital migration, and whether ‘hot’ (period <10 d) Neptunes evolved from ‘hot’ Jupiters as a result of mass loss. We searched 1763 late K and early M dwarf stars for transiting Neptunes by analysing photometry from the Wide Angle Search for Planets and obtaining high-precision (≤10^(−3)) follow-up photometry of stars with candidate transit signals. One star in our sample (GJ ...
