Three fast-spinning medium-sized Hilda asteroids uncovered by TESS
Nóra Takács, Csaba Kiss, Róbert Szakáts +8
Hilda asteroids, which orbit in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter, serve as key indicators of dynamical processes in the early solar system. Their spin rates, an important probe of thes…
The 2023 outburst of the Gaia alerted EXor Gaia23bab
Zsófia Nagy, Ãgnes Kóspál, Péter Ãbrahám +33
Episodic accretion is a fundamental process in the build-up of the stellar mass. EX Lupi-type eruptive young stars (EXors) represent one of the main types of episodic accretion. We…
Connections between the cycle-to-cycle light curve and O-C variations of the non-Blazhko RR Lyrae stars
J. M. BenkÅ, A. Bódi, E. Plachy +1
It has long been known that if the durations of the consecutive cycles of a pulsating star vary randomly, the O-C diagram could show quasi-periodic/irregular variations, even thoug…
Three fast-rotating Jovian Trojans identified by TESS set new population density limits
Csaba Kiss, Nóra Takács, Csilla E. Kalup +8
Here we report on the identification of the three fastest rotating Jovian Trojans with reliable population assignment, using light curve data from the Transiting Exoplanet Satellit…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
