Details on Acronym:   WTS
  
WTS (WFCAM Transit Survey)
Write:<<WTS -N>>
<<WTS -Na>>
<<WTS HHa-N-NNNNN>>
<<WTS HHa_N_NNNN>> (not recognised by Simbad, but found in literature)
N: 1+1+31+16+68
Object:* + Poss. Planet +V*  (SIMBAD class: Unknown = Object of Unknown Nature)
Note:The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) is a photometric monitoring campaign using the UKIRT Wide Field Camera (WFCAM), cf. http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~sth/wts/
Formats -N and -Nb: for stars hosting exoplanets (only the first reference 2012MNRAS.427.1877C is given here).
Format HHa-N-NNNNN: for M dwarfs. In this format, HH stands for the four survey fields (03hr, 07hr, 17hr, 19hr). A field is observed through eight pointings, each labelled with a single letter (from "a" to "h"). The single digit N refers to one of the four detectors (paw print) of WFCAM.
Rem:(a dash between the acronym and its contents is found in the literature)
