BU Canis Minoris -- the Most Compact Known Flat Doubly Eclipsing Quadruple System

Theodor Pribulla, Tamás Borkovits, Rahul Jayaraman +25

We have found that the 2+2 quadruple star system BU CMi is currently the most compact quadruple system known, with an extremely short outer period of only 121 days. The previous re…

Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor

Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport +24

We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely origi…

TTV Constraints on Additional Planets in the WD 1856+534 system

Sarah Kubiak, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +4

WD 1856+534 b (or WD 1856 b for short) is the first known transiting planet candidate around a white dwarf star. WD 1856 b is about the size of Jupiter, has a mass less than about…
