A tidally tilted sectoral dipole pulsation mode in the eclipsing binary TIC 63328020
S. A. Rappaport, D. W. Kurtz, G. Handler +13
We report the discovery of the third tidally tilted pulsator, TIC 63328020. Observations with the TESS satellite reveal binary eclipses with an orbital period of 1.1057 d, and …
EPIC 219217635: A Doubly Eclipsing Quadruple System Containing an Evolved Binary
T. Borkovits, S. Albrecht, S. Rappaport +14
We have discovered a doubly eclipsing, bound, quadruple star system in the field of K2 Campaign 7. EPIC 219217635 is a stellar image with that contains an eclipsing bin…
WD 1202-024: The Shortest-Period Pre-Cataclysmic Variable
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, L. Nelson +8
Among the 28,000 targeted stars in K2 Field 10 is the white dwarf WD 1202-024 (EPIC 201283111), first noted in the SDSS survey (SDSS 120515.80-024222.7). We have found that this ho…
EPIC 220204960: A Quadruple Star System Containing Two Strongly Interacting Eclipsing Binaries
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, T. Borkovits +15
We present a strongly interacting quadruple system associated with the K2 target EPIC 220204960. The K2 target itself is a Kp = 12.7 magnitude star at Teff ~ 6100 K which we design…
Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables and Related Binaries Containing a White-Dwarf
B. Kalomeni, L. Nelson, S. Rappaport +3
We present a binary evolution study of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and related systems with white dwarf accretors, including for example, AM CVn systems, classical novae, supersoft…
Discovery of Two New Thermally Bloated Low-Mass White Dwarfs Among the Kepler Binaries
S. Rappaport, L. Nelson, A. Levine +5
We report the discovery of two new low-mass, thermally bloated, hot white dwarfs among the Kepler sample of eclipsing binaries. These are KIC 9164561 and KIC 10727668 with orbital…
