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.…
Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend
Qinghui Sun, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Tianjun Gan +30
The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, hi…
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) IX: a 27 Myr extended population of Lower-Centaurus Crux with a transiting two-planet system
Mackenna L. Wood, Andrew W. Mann, Madyson G. Barber +35
We report the discovery and characterization of a nearby (~ 85 pc), older (27 +/- 3 Myr), distributed stellar population near Lower-Centaurus-Crux (LCC), initially identified by se…
Three low-mass companions around aged stars discovered by TESS
Zitao Lin, Tianjun Gan, Sharon X. Wang +42
We report the discovery of three transiting low-mass companions to aged stars: a brown dwarf (TOI-2336b) and two objects near the hydrogen burning mass limit (TOI-1608b and TOI-252…
Variability Catalog of Stars Observed During the TESS Prime Mission
Tara Fetherolf, Joshua Pepper, Emilie Simpson +10
During its 2-year Prime Mission, TESS observed over 232,000 stars at a 2-min cadence across ~70% of the sky. These data provide a record of photometric variability across a range o…
TESS observations of Cepheid stars: first light results
E. Plachy, A. Pál, A. Bódi +33
We present the first analysis of Cepheid stars observed by the TESS space mission in Sectors 1 to 5. Our sample consists of 25 pulsators: ten fundamental mode, three overtone and t…
A precise asteroseismic age and radius for the evolved Sun-like star KIC 11026764
T. S. Metcalfe, M. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, M. J. Thompson +55
The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and characterization of habitable Earth-…
