The EBLM project - XX. Absolute dynamical masses of five low-mass eclipsing binaries, and an evaluation of mass estimation methods
Adam T. Stevenson, Yasmin T. Davis, Daniel Sebastian +8
Eclipsing binaries consisting of a solar-type primary and an M dwarf secondary are key laboratories to study objects at the bottom of the main sequence. Fundamental parameters of s…
The EBLM Project - XIX. The absence of radius inflation in a homogeneous analysis of 66 Northern low-mass eclipsing binaries
Yasmin T. Davis, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, David V. Martin +30
Precise and accurate measurements of host stars are crucial in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and M-dwarfs are favourable targets in this quest. Low-mass eclipsing binaries…
Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars - IX. Characterisation of 5 solar-type sclipsing binaries with M-dwarf companions
Axel Hahlin, Pierre F. L. Maxted, Ivanna Hernandez-Araya +2
Large-scale spectroscopic surveys will need suitable benchmark stars that can be used to verify the performance of automatic pipelines. A promising type of object for this purpose…
Evidence for elemental diffusion in the eclipsing binary star AI Phoenicis
Pierre F. L. Maxted, Nicholas Storm, Andreas J. Korn +7
AI Phe is an eclipsing binary star with an orbital period of 24.6 days for which the surface gravity and effective temperature are known from direct measurements to very high preci…
CHEOPS observations of V1298 Tau: updated planetary densities and implications on the early evolution of the young system
Hinna Shivkumar, Sérgio Gomes, Jean-Michel Désert +9
The young (10-30 Myr) multi-planet system V1298 Tau presents a unique opportunity to probe the early formation and evolution of young systems. We present new CHEOPS observations of…
An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28
Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
The EBLM Project XVIII. 3D Obliquities of Five Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +17
The formation of tight stellar binaries remains an unsolved problem. There is too much angular momentum in a collapsing and fragmenting protostellar cloud to form a stellar binary…
The EBLM project -- XIII. The absolute dynamical masses of the circumbinary planet host TOI-1338/BEBOP-1
D. Sebastian, A. H. M. J. Triaud, M. Brogi +6
High-contrast eclipsing binaries with low mass M-dwarf secondaries are precise benchmark stars to build empirical mass-radius relationships for fully convective low-mass ($\rm M_{*…
Rotation of planet-harbouring stars
P. F. L. Maxted
The rotation rate of a star has important implications for the detectability, characterisation and stability of any planets that may be orbiting it. This chapter gives a brief over…
Hot subdwarf binaries from the MUCHFUSS project - Analysis of 12 new systems and a study of the short-period binary population
T. Kupfer, S. Geier, U. Heber +6
The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding hot subdwarf stars with massive compact companions like massive white dw…
WASP 1628+10 - an EL CVn-type binary with a very-low-mass stripped-red-giant star and multi-periodic pulsations
P. F. L. Maxted, A. M. Serenelli, T. R. Marsh +3
The star 1SWASP J162842.31+101416.7 (WASP 1628+10) is one of several EL CVn-type stars recently identified using the WASP database, i.e., an eclipsing binary star in which an A-typ…
Irradiated brown dwarfs
S. L. Casewell, M. R. Burleigh, K. A. Lawrie +3
We have observed the post common envelope binary WD0137-349 in the near infrared , and bands and have determined that the photometry varies on the system period (116 min…
The MUCHFUSS project - Searching for the most massive companions to hot subdwarf stars in close binaries and finding the least massive ones
S. Geier, V. Schaffenroth, H. Hirsch +12
The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding hot subdwarf stars with massive compact companions (massive white dwarfs…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
Analysis of Two Eclipsing Hot Subdwarf Binaries with a Low Mass Stellar and a Brown Dwarf Companion
V. Schaffenroth, S. Geier, U. Heber +6
The formation of hot subdwarf stars (sdBs), which are core helium-burning stars located on the extended horizontal branch, is still not understood. Many of the known hot subdwarf s…
The radii of M-dwarfs in the young open cluster NGC 2516
R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, P. F. L. Maxted
Using a novel technique, which combines previously determined rotation periods with new spectroscopic determinations of projected rotation velocity, we have determined radii for fa…
Orbital periods of twenty two subdwarf B stars
L. Morales-Rueda, P. F. L. Maxted, T. R. Marsh +2
Subdwarf B (sdB) stars are thought to be core helium burning stars with low mass hydrogen envelopes. In recent years it has become clear that many sdB stars lose their hydrogen thr…
