Kepler Image-Subtracted Light Curves and Variable Star Catalog of NGC 6819
Melinda Soares-Furtado, Rianna Kuenzi, Rachel Lee McClure +11
Variable stars in open clusters are valuable probes of stellar evolution. They provide precise measurements of stellar properties, constrain cluster ages and distances, and trace t…
Constraints on Late-Time Flaring from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the Zwicky Transient Facility
Rahul Jayaraman, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Michael M. Fausnaugh +14
The Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) AT2022tsd exhibited minutes-timescale optical flares in the tens of days following the initial transient event, likely due to a cen…
A Cool Earth-sized Planet Candidate Transiting a Tenth Magnitude K-dwarf From K2
Alexander Venner, Andrew Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +7
The transit method is currently one of our best means for the detection of potentially habitable "Earth-like" exoplanets. In principle, given sufficiently high photometric precisio…
TOI-6692b: An eccentric 130 day period giant planet with a single transit from TESS
Allyson Bieryla, Karen A. Collins, George Zhou +46
We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-6692 b, an eccentric (e~0.54) Jupiter on a 130-day orbit. TOI-6692 b was first detected as a community TESS Object of Interest (…
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…
