LenghuSky-8: An 8-Year All-Sky Cloud Dataset with Star-Aware Masks and Alt-Az Calibration for Segmentation and Nowcasting

Yicheng Rui, Xiao-Wei Duan, Licai Deng +9

Ground-based time-domain observatories require minute-by-minute, site-scale awareness of cloud cover, yet existing all-sky datasets are short, daylight-biased, or lack astrometric…

A universal brown dwarf desert formed between planets and stars

Kaiming Cui, Guang-Yao Xiao, Fabo Feng +10

Giant planets and brown dwarfs play a crucial role in star and planet formation, as they are situated at the boundary between planets and stars with uncertain formation mechanisms.…

Detection of dark companions via the combination of eclipse timing variation, Hipparcos and/or Gaia astrometry: the cases of V Puppis and CY Ari

Guang-Yao Xiao, Fabo Feng, Song Wang +3

The third body is expected to shape the formation and evolution of close binary systems. In this work, we develop a method to detect and characterize the tertiary companion around…

Segmented-Polynomial-fitting Least Squares (SPLS): An optimized algorithm to find Earth twins

Shuyue Zheng, Fabo Feng, Yicheng Rui

Detecting Earth twins remains challenging because their shallow, long-period transits are difficult to distinguish from background noise. Motivated by the challenge, we developed S…

Binary Star Evolution in Different Environments: Filamentary, Fractal, Halo and Tidal-tail Clusters

Xiaoying Pang, Yifan Wang, Shih-Yun Tang +7

Using membership of 85 open clusters from previous studies (Pang et al. 2021a,b, 2022b; Li et al. 2021) based on Gaia DR3 data, we identify binary candidates in the color-magnitude…
