Optical polarization map of the Polaris Flare with RoboPol
G. V. Panopoulou, K. Tassis, D. Blinov +26
The stages before the formation of stars in molecular clouds are poorly understood. Insights can be gained by studying the properties of quiescent clouds, such as their magnetic fi…
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…
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…
