TIC 366240660 - A Dynamically Active Triple With a Very Short Outer Period of 30.5 Days
S. A. Rappaport, T. Borkovits, G. Torres +17
Methods: We analyze TESS photometric data, radial velocity measurements, and eclipse timing variation curves for the triple star system, TIC 366240660, with a photodynamical code t…
TIC 433545934: The first 2+2 type doubly eclipsing binary with extra, mutual eclipses
Tamás Borkovits, Saul A. Rappaport, Petr Zasche +5
In this work we identify and photodynamically analyze TIC 433545934, the very first doubly eclipsing 2+2-type quadruple stellar system, which shows outer eclipses, too. One such ou…
TIC 295741342: A Triply-Eclipsing Triple Star System with a Giant Tertiary
Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres, Veselin B. Kostov +4
We present the discovery and characterization of TIC 295741342, a triply-eclipsing triple star system with a giant tertiary. The eclipsing binary consists of two similar main-seque…
Discovery of the First Octupole Pulsation Mode in a delta Scuti Star: A Stationary l = 3 Sectoral Mode
S. A. Rappaport, R. Jayaraman, G. Handler +8
Aims. We are attempting to better understand how stellar pulsations in close binary systems are affected, and possibly induced, by tidal, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. Methods.…
A Few Years Later: Revisiting Period Variations of Eclipsing Binaries in the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone of TESS
T. Borkovits, T. Mitnyan, D. R. Czavalinga +1
In our previous analysis of the eclipse timing variation patterns of eclipsing binaries located in and near the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone (NCVZ) of the TESS space telescope,…
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…
