Eight new, triply eclipsing triple star systems

T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport, G. Torres +19

We have identified numerous triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from observations made with the space telescope TESS. For many of these systems we can potentially det…

Ten new, ultracompact triply eclipsing triple star systems

T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport, T. Mitnyan +15

We have identified more than a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. Many of them have outer periods less t…

Seven new triply eclipsing triple star systems

S. A. Rappaport, T. Borkovits, T. Mitnyan +19

We have identified nearly a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. These systems are noteworthy in that we c…

Occultations from an active accretion disk in a 72 day detached post-Algol system detected by K2

G. Zhou, S. Rappaport, L. Nelson +28

Disks in binary systems can cause exotic eclipsing events. MWC 882 (BD-22 4376, EPIC 225300403) is such a disk-eclipsing system identified from observations during Campaign 11 of t…

Dipper disks not inclined towards edge-on orbits

M. Ansdell, E. Gaidos, J. P. Williams +5

The so-called "dipper" stars host circumstellar disks and have optical and infrared light curves that exhibit quasi-periodic or aperiodic dimming events consistent with extinction…

Young "Dipper" Stars in Upper Sco and Oph Observed by K2

M. Ansdell, E. Gaidos, S. A. Rappaport +8

We present ten young (10 Myr) late-K and M dwarf stars observed in K2 Campaign 2 that host protoplanetary disks and exhibit quasi-periodic or aperiodic dimming events. Th…
