Deep Long Asymmetric Occultation in EPIC 204376071
S. Rappaport, G. Zhou, A. Vanderburg +15
We have discovered a young M star of mass and radius , likely in the Upper Sco Association, that exhibits only a single deep occultation of 1-…
Likely Transiting Exocomets Detected by Kepler
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, T. Jacobs +8
We present the first good evidence for exocomet transits of a host star in continuum light in data from the Kepler mission. The Kepler star in question, KIC 3542116, is of spectral…
KIC 7177553: a quadruple system of two close binaries
H. Lehmann, T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport +4
KIC 7177553 was observed by the Kepler satellite to be an eclipsing eccentric binary star system with an 18-day orbital period. Recently, an eclipse timing study of the Kepler bina…
A comprehensive X-ray and multiwavelength study of the Colliding Galaxy Pair NGC2207/IC2163
S. Mineo, S. Rappaport, A. Levine +3
We present a comprehensive study of the total X-ray emission from the colliding galaxy pair NGC2207/IC2163, based on Chandra, Spitzer, and GALEX data. We detect 28 ultra-luminous X…
Retrieving Cirrus Microphysical Properties from Stellar Aureoles
John G. DeVore, Joseph A. Kristl, Saul Rappaport
The aureoles around stars caused by thin cirrus limit nighttime measurement opportunities for ground-based astronomy but can provide information on high-altitude ice crystals for c…
The Anticorrelated Nature of the Primary and Secondary Eclipse Timing Variations for the Kepler Contact Binaries
K. Tran, A. Levine, S. Rappaport +3
We report on a study of eclipse timing variations in contact binary systems, using long-cadence lightcurves in the Kepler archive. As a first step, 'observed minus calculated' (O-C…
