Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables
Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17
Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…
Orbital motion and dynamical mass of the complex periodic variable binary system 2MASS J05082729-2101444
S. Curiel, G. N. Ortiz-León, V. J. S. Béjar +22
We used very long baseline interferometry to constrain the orbit of the binary system 2MASS J05082729-2101444. We observed the system with the VLBA in three epochs at a frequency o…
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.…
Hints of auroral and magnetospheric polarized radio emission from the scallop-shell star 2MASS J050827292101444
Simranpreet Kaur, Daniele Viganò, Víctor J. S. Béjar +18
Scallop-shell stars, a recently discovered class of young M dwarfs, show complex optical light curves that are characterized by periodic dips as well as other features that are sta…
Lower-than-expected flare temperatures for TRAPPIST-1
A. J. Maas, E. Ilin, M. Oshagh +12
Although high energetic radiation from flares is a potential threat to exoplanet atmospheres and may lead to surface sterilization, it might also provide the extra energy for low-m…
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…
TOI-2119: A transiting brown dwarf orbiting an active M-dwarf from NASA's TESS mission
Theron W. Carmichael, Jonathan M. Irwin, Felipe Murgas +27
We report the discovery of TOI-2119b, a transiting brown dwarf (BD) that orbits and is completely eclipsed by an active M-dwarf star. Using light curve data from the Transiting Exo…
A young spectroscopic binary in a quintuple system part of the Local Association
Carlos Cardona Guillén, Nicolas Lodieu, Víctor J. S. Béjar +9
Double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) allow us to determine a lower limit of the masses of their components directly to test stellar models. In this work, our aim is to derive…
TIC 454140642: A Compact, Coplanar, Quadruple-lined Quadruple Star System Consisting of Two Eclipsing Binaries
Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres +30
We report the discovery of a compact, coplanar, quadruply-lined, eclipsing quadruple star system from TESS data, TIC 454140642, also known as TYC 0074-01254-1. The target was first…
Simultaneous photometric and CARMENES spectroscopic monitoring of fast-rotating M dwarf GJ 3270. Discovery of a post-flare corotating feature
E. N. Johnson, S. Czesla, B. Fuhrmeister +33
Context: Active M dwarfs frequently exhibit large flares, which can pose an existential threat to the habitability of any planet in orbit in addition to making said planets more di…
TOI-503: The first known brown dwarf-Am star binary from the TESS mission
Ján Šubjak, Rishikesh Sharma, Theron W. Carmichael +76
We report the discovery of an intermediate-mass transiting brown dwarf, TOI-503b, from the TESS mission. TOI-503b is the first brown dwarf discovered by TESS and orbits a metallic-…
Stellar activity analysis of Barnard's Star: Very slow rotation and evidence for long-term activity cycle
B. Toledo-Padrón, J. I. González Hernández, C. Rodríguez-López +58
The search for Earth-like planets around late-type stars using ultra-stable spectrographs requires a very precise characterization of the stellar activity and the magnetic cycle of…
The VVV Templates Project. Towards an Automated Classification of VVV Light-Curves. I. Building a database of stellar variability in the near-infrared
R. Angeloni, R. Contreras Ramos, M. Catelan +50
Context. The Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is a variability survey of the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the disk carried out from 2010 on E…
Stellar activity as a tracer of moving groups
F. Murgas, J. S. Jenkins, P. Rojo +2
We present the results of a study of the stellar activity in the solar neighborhood using complete kinematics (galactocentric velocities U,V,W) and the chromospheric activity index…
Discovery and characterisation of detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
J. L. Birkby, S. V. Nefs, S. T. Hodgkin +17
We report the discovery of 16 detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries with J<16 mag and provide a detailed characterisation of three of them, using high-precision infrared light curves…
