We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: VIII -- Properties of 1687 Gaia selected members in 21 nearby clusters
Dirk Froebrich, Aleks Scholz, Justyn Campbell-White +60
The Hunting Outbursting Young Stars (HOYS) project performs long-term, optical, multi-filter, high cadence monitoring of 25 nearby young clusters and star forming regions. Utilisin…
Another Shipment of Six Short-Period Giant Planets from TESS
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, Andrew Vanderburg +119
We present the discovery and characterization of six short-period, transiting giant planets from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) -- TOI-1811 (TIC 376524552), TO…
A survey for variable stars with small telescopes: IX -- Evolution of Spot Properties on YSOs in IC5070
Carys Herbert, Dirk Froebrich, Siegfried Vanaverbeke +45
We present spot properties on 32 periodic young stellar objects in IC 5070. Long term, 5 yr, light curves in the , , and -bands are obtained through the HOYS (Huntin…
