An Oasis in the Brown Dwarf Desert: Confirmation of Two Low-mass Transiting Brown Dwarfs Discovered by TESS

Elina Y. Zhang, Theron W. Carmichael, Daniel Huber +14

As the intermediate-mass siblings of stars and planets, brown dwarfs (BDs) are vital to study for a better understanding of how objects change across the planet-to-star mass range.…

Verification of Gaia DR3 Single-lined Spectroscopic Binary Solutions With Three Transiting Low-mass Secondaries

Stephen P. Schmidt, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Keyi Ding +18

While secondary mass inferences based on single-lined spectroscopic binary (SB1) solutions are subject to degeneracies, this degeneracy can be lifted through the observat…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VII : Membership, rotation, and lithium in the young cluster Group-X and a new young exoplanet

Elisabeth R. Newton, Rayna Rampalli, Adam L. Kraus +36

The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by…

TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26

Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy +44

In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binar…

TIC 168789840: A Sextuply-Eclipsing Sextuple Star System

Brian P. Powell, Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport +48

We report the discovery of a sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system from TESS data, TIC 168789840, also known as TYC 7037-89-1, the first known sextuple system consisting of three…

TOI-811b and TOI-852b: New transiting brown dwarfs with similar masses and very different radii and ages from the TESS mission

Theron W. Carmichael, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou +17

We report the discovery of two transiting brown dwarfs (BDs), TOI-811b and TOI-852b, from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission. These two transiting BDs have simila…
