TTV Constraints on Additional Planets in the WD 1856+534 system
Sarah Kubiak, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +4
WD 1856+534 b (or WD 1856 b for short) is the first known transiting planet candidate around a white dwarf star. WD 1856 b is about the size of Jupiter, has a mass less than about…
Triply eclipsing triple stars in the northern TESS fields: TICs 193993801, 388459317 and 52041148
T. Borkovits, T. Mitnyan, S. A. Rappaport +23
In this work we report the discovery and analysis of three new triply eclipsing triple star systems found with the TESS mission during its observations of the northern skies: TICs…
Mysterious Dust-emitting Object Orbiting TIC 400799224
Brian P. Powell, Veselin Kostov, Saul Rappaport +24
We report the discovery of a unique object of uncertain nature -- but quite possibly a disintegrating asteroid or minor planet -- orbiting one star of the widely separated binary T…
Recurring Planetary Debris Transits and Circumstellar Gas around White Dwarf ZTF J03281219
Zachary P. Vanderbosch, Saul Rappaport, Joseph A. Guidry +14
We present follow-up photometry and spectroscopy of ZTF J03281219 strengthening its status as a white dwarf exhibiting transiting planetary debris. Using TESS and Zwicky Transie…
A Giant Planet Candidate Transiting a White Dwarf
Andrew Vanderburg, Saul A. Rappaport, Siyi Xu +61
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs. During…
Shallow Ultraviolet Transits of WD 1145+017
Siyi Xu, Na'ama Hallakoun, Bruce Gary +16
WD 1145+017 is a unique white dwarf system that has a heavily polluted atmosphere, an infrared excess from a dust disk, numerous broad absorption lines from circumstellar gas, and…
