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…
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…
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…
Population Synthesis of Cataclysmic Variables: I. Inclusion of Detailed Nuclear Evolution
J. Goliasch, L. Nelson
We have carried out an extensive population synthesis study of the ensemble properties of the present-day population of cataclysmic variables (PDCVs) that takes into account the nu…
Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VI. Identification of Eclipsing Binaries in the K2 Campaign 0 Data-set
Daryll M. LaCourse, Kian J. Jek, Thomas L. Jacobs +15
The original {\it Kepler} mission observed and characterized over 2400 eclipsing binaries in addition to its prolific exoplanet detections. Despite the mechanical malfunction and s…
