Gaia18aen: First symbiotic star discovered by Gaia

J. Merc, J. Mikołajewska, M. Gromadzki +20

Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings o…

EVR-CB-004: An Inflated Hot Subdwarf O star + Unseen WD Companion in a Compact Binary Discovered with the Evryscope

Jeffrey K. Ratzloff, Thomas Kupfer, Brad N. Barlow +10

We present the discovery of EVR-CB-004, a close binary with a remnant stellar core and an unseen white dwarf companion. The analysis in this work reveals the primary is potentially…

TOI-811b and TOI-852b: New transiting brown dwarfs with similar masses and very different radii and ages from the TESS mission

Theron W. Carmichael, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou +17

We report the discovery of two transiting brown dwarfs (BDs), TOI-811b and TOI-852b, from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission. These two transiting BDs have simila…

The Tau Association: A 60 Myr-Old Coeval Group at 150 pc from the Sun

Jonathan Gagné, Trevor J. David, Eric E. Mamajek +3

[Abbreviated] We present an analysis of the newly identified Tau Association (MUTA) of young stars at 150 pc from the Sun that is part of the large Cas-Tau structure, co…

Evryscope-South Survey of Upper- and Pre-main Sequence Solar Neighborhood Stars

Nathan W. Galliher, Jeffrey K. Ratzloff, Henry Corbett +5

Using photometric data collected by Evryscope-South, we search for nearby young variable systems on the upper-main sequence (UMS) and pre-main sequence (PMS). The Evryscopes are al…

TIC 278956474: Two close binaries in one young quadruple system, identified by \textit{TESS}

Pamela Rowden, Tamás Borkovits, Jon M. Jenkins +25

We have identified a quadruple system with two close eclipsing binaries in TESS data. The object is unresolved in Gaia and appears as a single source at parallax 1.08~0.01 mas…

Very regular high-frequency pulsation modes in young intermediate-mass stars

Timothy R. Bedding, Simon J. Murphy, Daniel R. Hey +33

Asteroseismology is a powerful tool for probing the internal structures of stars by using their natural pulsation frequencies. It relies on identifying sequences of pulsation modes…

Orbital Parameter Determination for Wide Stellar Binary Systems in the Age of Gaia

Logan A. Pearce, Adam L. Kraus, Trent J. Dupuy +4

The orbits of binary stars and planets, particularly eccentricities and inclinations, encode the angular momentum within these systems. Within stellar multiple systems, the magnitu…
