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…

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…

X-Raying a Be star disk: fundamental parameters of the eclipsing binary Be star V658 Car

Tajan H. de Amorim, Alex C. Carciofi, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +8

With its two stellar eclipses and two disk attenuations per binary orbit, V658 Carinae stands out as the first clear eclipsing Be + sdOB system. This rare alignment offers a unique…
