Abstract

We present the discovery of NGTS J214358.5-380102, an eccentric M-dwarf binary discovered by the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The system period of 7.618 d is greater than many known eclipsing M-dwarf binary systems. Its orbital eccentricity of 0.323+0.0014−0.0037 is large relative to the period and semimajor axis of the binary. Global modelling of photometry and radial velocities indicates stellar masses of MA = 0.426+0.0056−0.0049 M☉, MB = 0.455+0.0058−0.0052 M☉ and stellar radii RA = 0.461+0.038−0.025 R☉, RB = 0.411+0.027−0.039 R☉, respectively. Comparisons with stellar models for low-mass stars show that one star is consistent with model predictions whereas the other is substantially oversized. Spectral analysis of the system suggests a primary of spectral type M3V, consistent with both modelled masses and radii, and with spectral energy distribution fitting of NGTS photometry. As the most eccentric eclipsing M-dwarf binary known, NGTS J214358.5-380102 provides an interesting insight into the strength of tidal effects in the circularization of stellar orbits.
