A KELT-TESS Eclipsing Binary in a Young Triple System Associated with a "Stellar String" Theia 301
Joni-Marie Clark Cunningham, Dax L. Felix, Don M. Dixon +7
HD 54236 is a nearby, wide common-proper-motion visual pair that has been previously identified as likely being very young by virtue of strong X-ray emission and lithium absorption…
Bow-shocks, nova shells, disc winds and tilted discs: The Nova-Like V341 Ara Has It All
N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, J. A. Acosta-Pulido +21
V341 Ara was recently recognised as one of the closest (d ~ 150 pc) and brightest (V~ 10) nova-like cataclysmic variables. This unique system is surrounded by a bright emission neb…
Long-Period High-Amplitude Red Variables in the KELT Survey
R. Alex Arnold, M. Virginia McSwain, Joshua Pepper +8
We present a sample of 4,132 Mira-like variables (red variables with long periods and high amplitudes) in the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) survey. Of these, 814 are…
An Extreme-mass Ratio, Short-period Eclipsing Binary Consisting of a B Dwarf Primary and a Pre-main Sequence M Star Companion Discovered by KELT
Daniel J. Stevens, George Zhou, Marshall C. Johnson +16
We present the discovery of \thisstar\ (HD 58730), a very low mass ratio () eclipsing binary (EB) identified by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Teles…
Bright Southern Variable Stars in the bRing Survey
Samuel N. Mellon, Eric E. Mamajek, Remko Stuik +9
Besides monitoring the bright star Pic during the near transit event for its giant exoplanet, the Pictoris b Ring (bRing) observatories at Siding Springs Observatory, Austr…
New Beta Cephei stars with KELT
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Gerald Handler, Joshua Pepper +9
We present the results of a search for Galactic Beta Cephei stars, which are massive pulsating stars with both pressure modes and mixed modes. Thus, these stars can serve as benchm…
Revisiting the pulsational characteristics of the exoplanet host star Pictoris
K. Zwintz, D. R. Reese, C. Neiner +22
Exoplanet properties crucially depend on their host stars' parameters. In case the exoplanet host star shows pulsations, asteroseismology can be used for an improved description of…
Discovery of δ Scuti Pulsations in the Young Hybrid Debris Disk Star HD 156623
Samuel N. Mellon, Eric E. Mamajek, Konstanze Zwintz +11
The bRing robotic observatory network was built to search for circumplanetary material within the transiting Hill sphere of the exoplanet Pic b across its bright host star …
Variability Properties of 4 Million Sources in the Input Catalog Observed with the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope Survey
Ryan J. Oelkers, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Keivan G. Stassun +10
The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) has been surveying more than of the celestial sphere for nearly a decade. While the primary science goal of the survey is th…
Identification of Young Stellar Variables with KELT for K2 II: The Upper Scorpius Association
Megan Ansdell, Ryan J. Oelkers, Joseph E. Rodriguez +13
High-precision photometry from space-based missions such as K2 and TESS enables detailed studies of young star variability. However, because space-based observing campaigns are oft…
Outbursts and Disk Variability in Be Stars
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, S. Drew Chojnowski, David G. Whelan +16
In order to study the growth and evolution of circumstellar disks around classical Be stars, we analyze optical time-series photometry from the KELT survey with simultaneous infrar…
A Bright Short Period M-M Eclipsing Binary from the KELT Survey: Magnetic Activity and the Mass-Radius Relationship for M-dwarfs
Jack B. Lubin, Joseph E. Rodriguez, George Zhou +26
We report the discovery of KELT J041621-620046, a moderately bright (J10.2) M dwarf eclipsing binary system at a distance of 393 pc. KELT J041621-620046 was first identi…
Identification of Young Stellar Variables with KELT for K2 I: Campaign 13 Taurus Dippers and Rotators
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Megan Ansdell, Ryan J. Oelkers +13
One of the most well-studied young stellar associations, Taurus-Auriga, will be observed by the extended Kepler mission, K2, in the spring of 2017. K2 Campaign 13 (C13) will be a u…
The Mysterious Dimmings of the T Tauri Star V1334 Tau
Joseph E. Rodriguez, George Zhou, Phillip A. Cargile +35
We present the discovery of two extended 0.12 mag dimming events of the weak-lined T-Tauri star V1334. The start of the first event was missed but came to an end in late 2003…
Photometric Variability of the Be Star Population
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Joshua Pepper, M. Virginia McSwain +11
Be stars have generally been characterized by the emission lines in their spectra, and especially the time variability of those spectroscopic features. They are known to also exhib…
DM Ori: A Young Star Occulted by a Disturbance in its Protoplanetary Disk
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Keivan G. Stassun, Phillip Cargile +15
In some planet formation theories, protoplanets grow gravitationally within a young star's protoplanetary disk, a signature of which may be a localized disturbance in the disk's ra…

Santosh Joshi, P. Martinez, Sowgata Chowdhury +6
The Nainital-Cape survey is a dedicated ongoing survey programme to search for and study pulsational variability in chemically peculiar (CP) stars to understand their internal stru…
