Minimum Orbital Periods of H-Rich Bodies
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, J. Schwab +1
In this work we derive the minimum allowed orbital periods of H-rich bodies ranging in mass from Saturn's mass to 1 , emphasizing gas giants and brown dwarfs over the ra…
Tidally Trapped Pulsations in a close binary star system discovered by TESS
G. Handler, D. W. Kurtz, S. A. Rappaport +12
It has long been suspected that tidal forces in close binary stars could modify the orientation of the pulsation axis of the constituent stars. Such stars have been searched for, b…
Eclipsing Spotted Giant Star With K2 and Historical Photometry
K. Oláh, S. Rappaport, T. Borkovits +15
Context. Stars can maintain their observable magnetic activity from the PMS to the tip of the red giant branch. However, the number of known active giants is much lower than active…
Occultations from an active accretion disk in a 72 day detached post-Algol system detected by K2
G. Zhou, S. Rappaport, L. Nelson +28
Disks in binary systems can cause exotic eclipsing events. MWC 882 (BD-22 4376, EPIC 225300403) is such a disk-eclipsing system identified from observations during Campaign 11 of t…
The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203
We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…
