TIC 5724661: A Long-Period Binary with a Pulsating sdB Star and Scuti Variable

Rahul Jayaraman, Saul Rappaport, Lorne Nelson +8

Using TESS 20-sec cadence data, we have discovered an unusual combination of pulsating stars in what we infer to be a binary system. The binary consists of a standard Scuti sta…

A long-period substellar object exhibiting a single transit in Kepler

Samuel N. Quinn, Saul Rappaport, Andrew Vanderburg +11

We report the detection of a single transit-like signal in the Kepler data of the slightly evolved F star KIC4918810. The transit duration is ~45 hours, and while the orbital perio…

Minimum Orbital Periods of H-Rich Bodies

S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, J. Schwab +1

In this work we derive the minimum allowed orbital periods of H-rich bodies ranging in mass from Saturn's mass to 1 , emphasizing gas giants and brown dwarfs over the ra…

A Giant Planet Candidate Transiting a White Dwarf

Andrew Vanderburg, Saul A. Rappaport, Siyi Xu +61

Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs. During…

The single-sided pulsator CO~Camelopardalis

D. W. Kurtz, G. Handler, S. A. Rappaport +10

CO~Cam (TIC 160268882) is the second ``single-sided pulsator'' to be discovered. These are stars where one hemisphere pulsates with a significantly higher amplitude than the other…

Minimum Orbital Period of Pre-Cataclysmic Variables

L. Nelson, J. Schwab, M. Ristic +1

More than 20 pre-cataclysmic variable (pre-CV) systems have now been discovered with very short orbital periods ranging from 250 min down to 68 min. A pre-CV consists of a white dw…
