Exploring the directly imaged HD 1160 system through spectroscopic characterization and high-cadence variability monitoring
Ben J. Sutlieff, Jayne L. Birkby, Jordan M. Stone +15
The time variability and spectra of directly imaged companions provide insight into their physical properties and atmospheric dynamics. We present follow-up R~40 spectrophotometric…
Low-mass eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey: the persistence of the M-dwarf radius inflation problem
Patricia Cruz, Marcos Diaz, Jayne Birkby +3
We present the characterization of 5 new short-period low-mass eclipsing binaries from the WFCAM Transit Survey. The analysis was performed by using the photometric WFCAM J-mag dat…
A highly unequal-mass eclipsing M-dwarf binary in the WFCAM Transit Survey
S. V. Nefs, J. L. Birkby, I. A. G. Snellen +6
In this paper we present the discovery of a highly unequal-mass eclipsing M-dwarf binary, providing a unique constraint on binary star formation theory and on evolutionary models f…
J band Variability of M Dwarfs in the WFCAM Transit Survey
N. T. Goulding, J. R. Barnes, D. J. Pinfield +11
We present an analysis of the photometric variability of M dwarfs in the WFCAM Transit Survey. Although periodic lightcurve variability in low mass stars is generally dominated by…
Discovery and characterisation of detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
J. L. Birkby, S. V. Nefs, S. T. Hodgkin +17
We report the discovery of 16 detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries with J<16 mag and provide a detailed characterisation of three of them, using high-precision infrared light curves…
Four ultra-short period eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
S. V. Nefs, J. L. Birkby, I. A. G. Snellen +16
We report on the discovery of four ultra-short period (P<0.18 days) eclipsing M-dwarf binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey. Their orbital periods are significantly shorter than of…
