EBLM XVII - Tidal Synchronization and Circularization in Tight Stellar Binaries
Ritika Sethi, David V. Martin, Adrian Barker +7
Tidal interactions in close stellar binaries are central to their orbital and rotational evolution, making observational tests of theoretical predictions essential for our understa…
The EBLM project XVI. Moderate spin-orbit misalignment of the low mass eclipsing binary EBLM J0021-16
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +15
Thousands of tight ( AU) main sequence binaries have been discovered, but it is uncertain how they formed. There is likely too much angular momentum in a collapsing, fragmentin…
Starspots and Flares are Generally Not Correlated
Andy B. Zhang, Jason R. Reeves, David V. Martin +4
Sunspots and solar flares are two different manifestations of magnetic activity on the surface of the Sun. On the Sun, flares typically occur close to spots. In this paper we test…
The EBLM Project XVIII. 3D Obliquities of Five Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +19
A question that continues to perplex astronomers is the formation of tight stellar binaries. There is too much angular momentum in a collapsing and fragmenting protostellar cloud t…
Exomoons of Circumbinary Planets
Ben R Gordon, Helena Buschermöhle, Wata Tubthong +4
Confirmation of the first exomoon remains elusive. Although several exomoon candidates exist around single stars, there are currently no candidates around circumbinary planets (CBP…
