Kepler Image-Subtracted Light Curves and Variable Star Catalog of NGC 6819

Melinda Soares-Furtado, Rianna Kuenzi, Rachel Lee McClure +11

Variable stars in open clusters are valuable probes of stellar evolution. They provide precise measurements of stellar properties, constrain cluster ages and distances, and trace t…

TIC 295741342: A Triply-Eclipsing Triple Star System with a Giant Tertiary

Brian P. Powell, Guillermo Torres, Veselin B. Kostov +4

We present the discovery and characterization of TIC 295741342, a triply-eclipsing triple star system with a giant tertiary. The eclipsing binary consists of two similar main-seque…

Discovery of the First Octupole Pulsation Mode in a delta Scuti Star: A Stationary l = 3 Sectoral Mode

S. A. Rappaport, R. Jayaraman, G. Handler +8

Aims. We are attempting to better understand how stellar pulsations in close binary systems are affected, and possibly induced, by tidal, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces. Methods.…

Ten new, ultracompact triply eclipsing triple star systems

T. Borkovits, S. A. Rappaport, T. Mitnyan +15

We have identified more than a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. Many of them have outer periods less t…

EL CMi: confirmation of triaxial pulsation theory

G. Handler, S. A. Rappaport, D. Jones +10

Triaxial pulsators are a recently discovered group of oscillating stars in close binary systems that show pulsations around three axes at the same time. It has recently been theore…
