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,…
