TOI-1994b: A Low Mass Eccentric Brown Dwarf Transiting A Subgiant Star

Emma Page, Joshua Pepper, Duncan Wright +22

We present the discovery of TOI-1994b, a low-mass brown dwarf transiting a hot subgiant star on a moderately eccentric orbit. TOI-1994 has an effective temperature of $7700^{+720}_…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) IX: a 27 Myr extended population of Lower-Centaurus Crux with a transiting two-planet system

Mackenna L. Wood, Andrew W. Mann, Madyson G. Barber +35

We report the discovery and characterization of a nearby (~ 85 pc), older (27 +/- 3 Myr), distributed stellar population near Lower-Centaurus-Crux (LCC), initially identified by se…

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…

A Low-mass, Pre-main-sequence Eclipsing Binary in the 40 Myr Columba Association -- Fundamental Stellar Parameters and Modeling the Effect of Star Spots

Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Adam L. Kraus, Andrew W. Mann +12

Young eclipsing binaries (EBs) are powerful probes of early stellar evolution. Current models are unable to simultaneously reproduce the measured and derived properties that are ac…

An Adaptive Optics Census of Companions to Northern Stars Within 25 pc with Robo-AO

Maissa Salama, Carl Ziegler, Christoph Baranec +8

In order to assess the multiplicity statistics of stars across spectral types and populations in a volume-limited sample, we censused nearby stars for companions with Robo-AO. We r…

When Do Stalled Stars Resume Spinning Down? Advancing Gyrochronology with Ruprecht 147

Jason Lee Curtis, Marcel A. Agüeros, Sean P. Matt +17

Recent measurements of rotation periods () in the benchmark open clusters Praesepe (670 Myr), NGC 6811 (1 Gyr), and NGC 752 (1.4 Gyr) demonstrate that, after convergi…
