ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Based on data collected under the NGTS project at the ESO La Silla Paranal Observatory. The NGTS facility is operated by the consortium institutes with support from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) project ST/M001962/1. This paper includes data collected by the TESS mission. Funding for the TESS mission is provided by the NASA Explorer Program. This paper uses observations made at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO). PE and AC. JIV acknowledges support of CONICYT-PFCHA/Doctorado Nacional-21191829, Chile.
