Tidally distorted stars are triaxial pulsators
Jim Fuller, Saul Rappaport, Rahul Jayaraman +2
Stars in close binaries are tidally distorted, and this has a strong effect on their pulsation modes. We compute the mode frequencies and geometries of tidally distorted stars usin…
TIC 290061484: A Triply Eclipsing Triple System with the Shortest Known Outer Period of 24.5 Days
Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits +13
We have discovered a triply eclipsing triple-star system, TIC 290061484, with the shortest known outer period, Pout, of only 24.5 days. This "eclipses" the previous record set by l…
TIC 435850195: The Second Tri-Axial, Tidally Tilted Pulsator
Rahul Jayaraman, Saul Rappaport, Brian Powell +8
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has enabled the discovery of numerous tidally tilted pulsators (TTPs), which are pulsating stars in close binaries where the presen…
Characterization of the Scuti eclipsing binary KIC 4851217 and its tertiary companion as well as detection of tidally tilted pulsations
Z. Jennings, J. Southworth, S. A. Rappaport +3
Stellar theory enables us to understand the properties of stars at different stages of their evolution, and contributes to other fields of astrophysics such as galactic and exoplan…
Seven new triply eclipsing triple star systems
S. A. Rappaport, T. Borkovits, T. Mitnyan +19
We have identified nearly a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. These systems are noteworthy in that we c…
Eclipse timing study of new hierarchical triple star candidates in the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone of TESS
T. Mitnyan, T. Borkovits, D. R. Czavalinga +4
We compiled a list of more than 3500 eclipsing binaries located in and near the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone (NCVZ) of the TESS space telescope that have a sufficient amount of…
