The EBLM project - XX. Absolute dynamical masses of five low-mass eclipsing binaries, and an evaluation of mass estimation methods
Adam T. Stevenson, Yasmin T. Davis, Daniel Sebastian +8
Eclipsing binaries consisting of a solar-type primary and an M dwarf secondary are key laboratories to study objects at the bottom of the main sequence. Fundamental parameters of s…
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…
EBLM XVII - Tidal Synchronization and Circularization in Tight Stellar Binaries
Ritika Sethi, David V. Martin, Adrian Barker +7
Tidal interactions in close stellar binaries are central to their orbital and rotational evolution, making observational tests of theoretical predictions essential for our understa…
Evidence for Sympathetic Flaring in TESS Data
Veronica Pratt, Jason R. Reeves, David V. Martin +3
Most flares on the Sun occur at random, but there is a small percentage of "sympathetic flaring" -- the triggering of one flare by another. Previously there had been no widespread…
Starspots and Flares are Generally Not Correlated
Andy B. Zhang, Jason R. Reeves, David V. Martin +4
Sunspots and solar flares are two different manifestations of magnetic activity on the surface of the Sun. On the Sun, flares typically occur close to spots. In this paper we test…
The EBLM Project XVIII. 3D Obliquities of Five Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +17
The formation of tight stellar binaries remains an unsolved problem. There is too much angular momentum in a collapsing and fragmenting protostellar cloud to form a stellar binary…
The EBLM project XVI. Moderate spin-orbit misalignment of the low mass eclipsing binary EBLM J0021-16
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +15
Thousands of tight ( AU) main sequence binaries have been discovered, but it is uncertain how they formed. There is likely too much angular momentum in a collapsing, fragmentin…
The EBLM project -- XIV. TESS light curves for eclipsing binaries with very low mass companions
Jay Fitzpatrick, Pierre F. L. Maxted, Alix V. Freckelton +3
Accurate limb-darkening models are needed for accurate characterisation of eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets from the analysis of their light curves. The limb-darken…
Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- V. The circumbinary planet system EBLM J0608-59
P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, D. Sebastian +3
EBLM J0608-59 / TOI-1338 / BEBOP-1 is a 12th-magnitude, F9V star in an eclipsing binary with a much fainter M-dwarf companion on a wide, eccentric orbit (P=14.6 d). The binary is o…
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…
VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE) I. High-precision radial velocities of Cepheids
Richard I. Anderson, Giordano Viviani, Shreeya S. Shetye +27
This first VELOCE data release comprises 18,225 high-precision RV measurements of 258 bona fide classical Cepheids on both hemispheres collected mainly between 2010 and 2022, along…
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 -- From False Positives to Benchmark Stars and Circumbinary Exoplanets
P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud, D. V. Martin
The EBLM project aims to characterise very low-mass stars that are companions to solar-type stars in eclipsing binaries. We describe the history and motivation for this project, th…
