A search for self-lensing binaries with TESS and constraints on their occurrence rate
Natsuko Yamaguchi, Kareem El-Badry, Nicholas M. Sorabella
Five self-lensing binaries (SLBs) have been discovered with Kepler light curves. They contain white dwarfs (WDs) in AU-scale orbits that gravitationally lens solar-type companions.…
The First TESS Self-Lensing Pulses: Revisiting KIC 12254688
Nicholas M. Sorabella, Silas G. T. Laycock, Dimitris M. Christodoulou +1
We report the observations of two self-lensing pulses from KIC 12254688 in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curves. This system, containing a F2V star and white-d…
Probing the Stellar Wind of the Wolf-Rayet Star in IC 10 X-1
Sayantan Bhattacharya, Silas G. T. Laycock, Andre-Nicolas Chene +5
IC 10 X-1 is an eclipsing high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) containing a stellar-mass black hole (BH) and a Wolf-Rayet (WR) donor star with an orbital period of P = 34.9 hr. This binar…
Self-Lensing in Eclipsing X-ray Binary Systems
Nicholas M. Sorabella, Silas G. T. Laycock
This project examines the feasibility of using gravitational lensing to measure the mass of compact objects in eclipsing X-ray binary (XRB) systems. We investigate which kind of XR…
