52 Eclipsing Quadruple Star Candidates Discovered in TESS Full Frame Images

Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Saul A. Rappaport +25

We present the discovery of 52 eclipsing quadruple star candidates detected in TESS Full Frame Image eleanor data by machine learning and citizen scientists. The uniformly-vetted a…

Ten new, ultracompact triply eclipsing triple star systems

T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport, T. Mitnyan +15

We have identified more than a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. Many of them have outer periods less t…

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…

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…

Observational Detection of Higher Order Secular Perturbations in Tight Hierarchical Triple Stars

Tamás Borkovits, Tibor Mitnyan

In this work, we search for observational evidence of higher-order secular perturbations in three eclipsing binaries. These are slightly eccentric binaries, and they form the inner…
