Three low-mass companions around aged stars discovered by TESS
Zitao Lin, Tianjun Gan, Sharon X. Wang +42
We report the discovery of three transiting low-mass companions to aged stars: a brown dwarf (TOI-2336b) and two objects near the hydrogen burning mass limit (TOI-1608b and TOI-252…
The Revised TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List
Keivan G. Stassun, Ryan J. Oelkers, Martin Paegert +33
We describe the catalogs assembled and the algorithms used to populate the revised TESS Input Catalog (TIC), based on the incorporation of the Gaia second data release. We also des…
Exploring the Brown Dwarf Desert: New Substellar Companions from the SDSS-III MARVELS Survey
Nolan Grieves, Jian Ge, Neil Thomas +27
Planet searches using the radial velocity technique show a paucity of companions to solar-type stars within ~5 AU in the mass range of ~10 - 80 M. This deficit, know…
Target Selection for the SDSS-III MARVELS Survey
Martin Paegert, Keivan G. Stassun, Nathan De Lee +8
We present the target selection process for the Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanets Large-area Survey (MARVELS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III. M…
The Brightening of Re50N: Accretion Event or Dust Clearing?
Hsin-Fang Chiang, Bo Reipurth, Josh Walawender +5
The luminous Class I protostar HBC 494, embedded in the Orion A cloud, is associated with a pair of reflection nebulae, Re50 and Re50N, which appeared sometime between 1955 and 197…
The K2-TESS Stellar Properties Catalog
Keivan G. Stassun, Joshua A. Pepper, Ryan Oelkers +3
We introduce a catalog of stellar properties for stars observed by the Kepler follow-on mission, K2. We base the catalog on a cross-match between the K2 Campaign target lists and t…
The EB Factory Project. II. Validation with the Kepler Field in Preparation for K2 and TESS
Mahmoud Parvizi, Martin Paegert, Keivan G. Stassun
Large repositories of high precision light curve data, such as the Kepler data set, provide the opportunity to identify astrophysically important eclipsing binary (EB) systems in l…
Accurate Atmospheric Parameters at Moderate Resolution Using Spectral Indices: Preliminary Application to the MARVELS Survey
Luan Ghezzi, Letícia Dutra-Ferreira, Diego Lorenzo-Oliveira +17
Studies of Galactic chemical and dynamical evolution in the solar neighborhood depend on the availability of precise atmospheric parameters (Teff, [Fe/H] and log g) for solar-type…
Very Low-mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars from Marvels III: A Short-Period Brown Dwarf Candidate Around An Active G0Iv Subgiant
Bo Ma, Jian Ge, Rory Barnes +45
We present an eccentric, short-period brown dwarf candidate orbiting the active, slightly evolved subgiant star TYC 2087-00255-1, which has effective temperature T_eff = 5903+/-42…
Very Low-mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars from MARVELS II: A Short-period Companion Orbiting an F Star with Evidence of a Stellar Tertiary And Significant Mutual Inclination
Scott W. Fleming, Jian Ge, Rory Barnes +59
We report the discovery via radial velocity of a short-period (P = 2.430420 \pm 0.000006 days) companion to the F-type main sequence star TYC 2930-00872-1. A long-term trend in the…
Very Low-Mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-Like Stars from MARVELS I: A Low Mass Ratio Stellar Companion to TYC 4110-01037-1 in a 79-day Orbit
John P. Wisniewski, Jian Ge, Justin R. Crepp +42
TYC 4110-01037-1 has a low-mass stellar companion, whose small mass ratio and short orbital period are atypical amongst solar-like (Teff ~< 6000 K) binary systems. Our analysis of…
Eclipsing Binary Science Via the Merging of Transit and Doppler Exoplanet Survey Data - A Case Study With the MARVELS Pilot Project and SuperWASP
Scott W. Fleming, Pierre F. L. Maxted, Leslie Hebb +28
Exoplanet transit and Doppler surveys discover many binary stars during their operation that can be used to conduct a variety of ancillary science. Specifically, eclipsing binary s…
