A 2+1+1 quadruple star system containing the most eccentric, low-mass, short-period, eclipsing binary known
E. Han, S. A. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg +12
We present an analysis of a newly discovered 2+1+1 quadruple system with TESS containing an unresolved eclipsing binary (EB) as part of TIC 121088960 and a close neighbor TIC 12108…
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…
TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26
Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy +44
In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binar…
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…
A Second Planet Transiting LTT 1445A and a Determination of the Masses of Both Worlds
J. G. Winters, R. Cloutier, A. A. Medina +79
LTT 1445 is a hierarchical triple M-dwarf star system located at a distance of 6.86 parsecs. The primary star LTT 1445A (0.257 M_Sun) is known to host the transiting planet LTT 144…
BG Ind: the nearest doubly eclipsing, compact hierarchical quadruple system
T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport, P. F. L. Maxted +9
BG Ind is a well studied, bright, nearby binary consisting of a pair of F stars in a 1.46-day orbit. We have discovered in the TESS lightcurve for TIC 229804573 (aka BG Ind) a seco…
K2-138 g: Spitzer Spots a Sixth Planet for the Citizen Science System
Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman, Jessie L. Christiansen, David R. Ciardi +10
greatly extended 's ability to find new planets, but it was typically limited to identifying transiting planets with orbital periods below 40 days. While analyzing $K2…
Six transiting planets and a chain of Laplace resonances in TOI-178
A. Leleu, Y. Alibert, N. C. Hara +152
Determining the architecture of multi-planetary systems is one of the cornerstones of understanding planet formation and evolution. Resonant systems are especially important as the…
TIC 168789840: A Sextuply-Eclipsing Sextuple Star System
Brian P. Powell, Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport +48
We report the discovery of a sextuply-eclipsing sextuple star system from TESS data, TIC 168789840, also known as TYC 7037-89-1, the first known sextuple system consisting of three…
