Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Thirty Galactic Metal-Poor Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries

D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +4

Detached eclipsing binaries have long served as fundamental benchmarks for making direct comparisons with stellar models. By combining the light curve and radial velocity orbit of…

BEBOP VIII. SOPHIE radial velocities reveal an eccentric, circumbinary brown dwarf

Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft, Neda Heidari +18

Circumbinary configurations offer a test of planet formation in an altered environment, where the inner binary has perturbed a protoplanetary disc. Comparisons of the physical and…

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- VI. Improved methodology and application to the circumbinary planet host star BEBOP-3

P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, T. A. Baycroft +3

BEBOP-3 is detached eclipsing binary star that shows total eclipses of a faint M~dwarf every 13.2 days by a 9-magnitude F9V star. High precision radial velocity measurem…

EBLM XV -- Revised dynamical masses for the circumbinary planet host Kepler-16 AB, using the SOPHIE spectrograph

D. Sebastian, I. Boisse, A. Santerne +14

Eclipsing binaries are perfect laboratories to measure precise, accurate and model-independent stellar radii and stellar masses, so long as both components are spectroscopically re…

Identifying Flare Locations Through Exoplanet Transit Occultations

Tayt Armitage, David V. Martin, Romy Rodríguez Martínez

M dwarfs are the most common stars in the galaxy, with long lifespans, a high occurrence rate of rocky planets, and close-in habitable zones. However, high stellar activity in the…

True Unicorns and False Positives: Simulated Probabilities of Dark Massive Companions to Bright Stars

Andrew M. Miller, Alexander P. Stephan, David V. Martin

Many compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) exist in binaries. These binaries are normally discovered through their interactions, either from accretion as an X-ray binary…

Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Fifteen Galactic Red Giants in Detached Eclipsing Binaries

D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +9

Precise and accurate mass and radius measurements of evolved stars are crucial to calibrating stellar models. Stars in detached eclipsing binaries (EBs) are excellent potential cal…

Two Novel Hot Jupiter Formation Pathways: How White Dwarf Kicks Shape the Hot Jupiter Population

Alexander P. Stephan, David V. Martin, Smadar Naoz +2

The origin of Hot Jupiters (HJs) is disputed between a variety of in situ and ex situ formation scenarios. One of the early proposed ex situ scenarios was the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov…

Tight stellar binaries favour active longitudes at sub- and anti-stellar points

Ritika Sethi, David V. Martin

Stellar binaries are ubiquitous in the galaxy and a laboratory for astrophysical effects. We use TESS to study photometric modulations in the lightcurves of 162 unequal mass eclips…

New methods for radial-velocity measurements of double-lined binaries, and detection of a circumbinary planet orbiting TIC 172900988

Lalitha Sairam, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft +8

Ongoing ground-based radial-velocity observations seeking to detect circumbinary planets focus on single-lined binaries even though over nine in every ten binary systems in the sol…

A Comparison of the Composition of Planets in Single- and Multi-Planet Systems Orbiting M dwarfs

Romy Rodríguez Martínez, David V. Martin, B. Scott Gaudi +4

We investigate and compare the composition of M-dwarf planets in systems with only one known planet (``singles") to those residing in multi-planet systems (``multis") and the funda…
