Know The Star, Know the Planet. IV. A Stellar Companion to the Host star of the Eccentric Exoplanet HD 8673b
Lewis C. Roberts, Brian D. Mason, Christopher R. Neyman +28
HD 8673 hosts a massive exoplanet in a highly eccentric orbit (e=0.723). Based on two epochs of speckle interferometry a previous publication identified a candidate stellar compani…
A survey of the high order multiplicity of nearby solar-type binary stars with Robo-AO
Reed L. Riddle, Andrei Tokovinin, Brian D. Mason +12
We conducted a survey of nearby binary systems composed of main sequence stars of spectral types F and G in order to improve our understanding of the hierarchical nature of multipl…
A 1.05 Companion to PSR J2222-0137: The Coolest Known White Dwarf?
David L. Kaplan, Jason Boyles, Bart H. Dunlap +5
The recycled pulsar PSR J2222-0137 is one of the closest known neutron stars, with a parallax distance of pc and an edge-on orbit. We measure the Shapiro delay…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs. V. KOI-256: A Mutually Eclipsing Post-Common Envelope Binary
Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew Vanderburg, Avi Shporer +23
We report that Kepler Object of Interest 256 (KOI-256) is a mutually eclipsing post-common envelope binary (ePCEB), consisting of a cool white dwarf (M = 0.592 +/- 0.089 MSun, R =…
Millions of Multiples: Detecting and Characterizing Close-Separation Binary Systems in Synoptic Sky Surveys
Emil Terziev, Nicholas M. Law, Iair Arcavi +15
The direct detection of binary systems in wide-field surveys is limited by the size of the stars' point-spread-functions (PSFs). A search for elongated objects can find closer comp…
Three New Eclipsing White-dwarf - M-dwarf Binaries Discovered in a Search for Transiting Planets Around M-dwarfs
Nicholas M. Law, Adam L. Kraus, Rachel Street +24
We present three new eclipsing white-dwarf / M-dwarf binary systems discovered during a search for transiting planets around M-dwarfs. Unlike most known eclipsing systems of this t…
