MIRA: a data management and education platform connecting students to robotic telescopes
Peter P. Pedersen, Lionel Garcia, Mahshid Alimi +3
MIRA is a platform that lets secondary school and undergraduate students propose, schedule, and analyze observations from robotic telescopes, providing automated data reduction and…
DUET: Design of a simultaneous InGaAs--CCD split-beam imager for ultra-cool dwarf exoplanet transit survey
Peter P. Pedersen, Clark Baker, Karolina Dziewiecka +4
The paper presents the design of DUET, a dual-channel imager that simultaneously records visible light with a CCD and near‑infrared light with an InGaAs detector to observe transit…
Astra: an open-source fully autonomous robotic observatory control software
Peter P. Pedersen, David Degen, Lionel Garcia +12
Astra is an open‑source, cross‑platform Python system that enables fully autonomous operation of astronomical observatories without external message‑broker infrastructure, handling…
A Previously Underexplored Regime in TESS: Minute-Scale Eclipses Reveal Ten White Dwarf-Cool M-Dwarf Binaries
Tristan Cavalier, Julien de Wit, Mathilde Timmermans +14
Short-period white-dwarf (WD) binaries are post-common-envelope systems that constrain orbital shrinkage, envelope evolution, and the survival of low-mass companions. We report the…
J0404+1112: A 3-Hour Eclipsing White Dwarf-Brown Dwarf Probing Multiple Atmospheric Regimes
J. de Wit, R. Alonso, B. V. Rackham +19
White dwarf-brown dwarf (WD+BD) binaries are rare laboratories for probing both substellar survival through post-main-sequence evolution and the physics of strongly irradiated atmo…
Hidden Gems in TESS: sherlock finds two new rocky planets around nearby M dwarfs
M. Timmermans, M. Dévora-Pajares, F. J. Pozuelos +25
The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the d…
