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…

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.…

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…

EL CMi: confirmation of triaxial pulsation theory

G. Handler, S. A. Rappaport, D. Jones +10

Triaxial pulsators are a recently discovered group of oscillating stars in close binary systems that show pulsations around three axes at the same time. It has recently been theore…

Starspots on eclipsing giant stars I.: The sample and eclipse mapping examples

K. Oláh, B. Seli, A. Haris +12

Spotted stars in eclipsing binary systems allow us to gather significant information about the stellar surface inhomogeneities that is otherwise impossible from only photometric da…

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…

Eclipse timing study of new hierarchical triple star candidates in the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone of TESS

T. Mitnyan, T. Borkovits, D. R. Czavalinga +4

We compiled a list of more than 3500 eclipsing binaries located in and near the Northern Continuous Viewing Zone (NCVZ) of the TESS space telescope that have a sufficient amount of…
