The EBLM Project - XIX. The absence of radius inflation in a homogeneous analysis of 66 Northern low-mass eclipsing binaries

Yasmin T. Davis, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, David V. Martin +30

Precise and accurate measurements of host stars are crucial in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and M-dwarfs are favourable targets in this quest. Low-mass eclipsing binaries…

BEBOP V. Homogeneous Stellar Analysis of Potential Circumbinary Planet Hosts

Alix V. Freckelton, Daniel Sebastian, Annelies Mortier +29

Planets orbiting binary systems are relatively unexplored compared to those around single stars. Detections of circumbinary planets and planetary systems offer a first detailed vie…

The EBLM Project XI. Mass, radius and effective temperature measurements for 23 M-dwarf companions to solar-type stars observed with CHEOPS

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +104

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ``radius inflat…

The EBLM Project XII. An eccentric, long-period eclipsing binary with a companion near the hydrogen-burning limit

Yasmin T. Davis, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Alix V. Freckelton +17

In the hunt for Earth-like exoplanets it is crucial to have reliable host star parameters, as they have a direct impact on the accuracy and precision of the inferred parameters for…

The EBLM project -- IX. Five fully convective M-dwarfs, precisely measured with CHEOPS and TESS light curves

D. Sebastian, M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted +85

Eclipsing binaries are important benchmark objects to test and calibrate stellar structure and evolution models. This is especially true for binaries with a fully convective M-dwar…

The EBLM project X. Benchmark masses, radii and temperatures for two fully convective M-dwarfs using K2

Alison Duck, David V. Martin, Sam Gill +23

M-dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the galaxy and popular targets for exoplanet searches. However, their intrinsic faintness and complex spectra inhibit precise characterisati…

A Study of Flares in the Ultra-Cool Regime from SPECULOOS-South

C. A. Murray, D. Queloz, M. Gillon +22

We present a study of photometric flares on 154 low-mass () objects observed by the SPECULOOS-South Observatory from 1st June 2018 to 23rd March 2020.…

NGTS clusters survey -- III: A low-mass eclipsing binary in the Blanco 1 open cluster spanning the fully convective boundary

Gareth D. Smith, Edward Gillen, Didier Queloz +27

We present the discovery and characterisation of an eclipsing binary identified by the Next Generation Transit Survey in the 115 Myr old Blanco 1 open cluster. NGTS J0002-29…

Populating the brown dwarf and stellar boundary: Five stars with transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit

Nolan Grieves, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl +52

We report the discovery of five transiting companions near the hydrogen-burning mass limit in close orbits around main sequence stars originally identified by the Transiting Exopla…

The EBLM project -- VIII. First results for M-dwarf mass, radius and effective temperature measurements using CHEOPS light curves

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +93

The accuracy of theoretical mass, radius and effective temperature values for M-dwarf stars is an active topic of debate. Differences between observed and theoretical values have r…
