A Short History of (Orbital) Decay: Roman's Prospects for Detecting Dying Planets
Kylee Carden, B. Scott Gaudi, Robert F. Wilson
The Roman Space Telescope Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) is expected to detect ~ transiting planets. Many of these planets will have short orbital periods and are…
Characterizing TESS-Identified Quadruple and Higher Order Eclipsing Binaries: I. Speckle Imaging with DSSI and HRCam
Steven R. Majewski, James W. Davidson, Robert F. Wilson +9
NASA's TESS mission has unveiled a plethora of eclipsing binaries (EBs), among them hundreds of triples and higher order, hierarchical systems. These complex targets require follow…
Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
A Radio Flaring, Chromospherically-Inactive K Dwarf
Dale A. Frail, Scott D. Hyman, Michele L. Silverstein +10
We report on an unusual radio source J180526-292953, initially identified as a steep spectrum, polarized point source toward the Galactic bulge and found to coincide with the nearb…
Modeling Asteroseismic Yields for the Roman Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey
Trevor J. Weiss, Noah J. Downing, Marc H. Pinsonneault +10
The Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) of the Roman Space Telescope will take high cadence data of the Galactic bulge. We investigate the asteroseismic potential of this sur…
The TESS Ten Thousand Catalog: 10,001 uniformly-vetted and -validated Eclipsing Binary Stars detected in Full-Frame Image data by machine learning and analyzed by citizen scientists
Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Aline U. Fornear +36
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has surveyed nearly the entire sky in Full-Frame Image mode with a time resolution of 200 seconds to 30 minutes and a temporal base…
