TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26

Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy +44

In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binar…

A Peer-to-Peer Browsable File Index using a Popularity Based Global Namespace

Thomas Jacobs, Aaron Harwood

The distribution of files using decentralized, peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, has significant advantages over centralized approaches. It is however more difficult to settle on the bes…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) III: a two-planet system in the 400 Myr Ursa Major Group

Andrew W. Mann, Marshall C. Johnson, Andrew Vanderburg +51

Exoplanets can evolve significantly between birth and maturity, as their atmospheres, orbits, and structures are shaped by their environment. Young planets (1 Gyr) offer an oppo…

A Population of Dipper Stars from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Mission

Benjamin K. Capistrant, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg +12

Dipper stars are a classification of young stellar objects that exhibit dimming variability in their light curves, dropping in brightness by 10-50%, likely induced by occultations…

Kepler Image-Subtracted Light Curves and Variable Star Catalog of NGC 6819

Melinda Soares-Furtado, Rianna Kuenzi, Rachel Lee McClure +11

Variable stars in open clusters are valuable probes of stellar evolution. They provide precise measurements of stellar properties, constrain cluster ages and distances, and trace t…

Mysterious Dust-emitting Object Orbiting TIC 400799224

Brian P. Powell, Veselin Kostov, Saul Rappaport +24

We report the discovery of a unique object of uncertain nature -- but quite possibly a disintegrating asteroid or minor planet -- orbiting one star of the widely separated binary T…

Enhancing Retinal Vessel Segmentation Generalization via Layout-Aware Generative Modelling

Jonathan Fhima, Jan Van Eijgen, Lennert Beeckmans +6

Generalization in medical segmentation models is challenging due to limited annotated datasets and imaging variability. To address this, we propose Retinal Layout-Aware Diffusion (…

A 9-Hr CV With One Outburst in 4 Years of Kepler Data

Zhifei Yu, John Thorstensen, Saul Rappaport +11

During a visual search through the Kepler main-field lightcurves, we have discovered a cataclysmic variable (CV) that experienced only a single 4-day long outburst over four years,…
