TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain
Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Corey Beard +60
Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMR). Dynamical evolution over time could…
A Population of Dipper Stars from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Mission
Benjamin K. Capistrant, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg +12
Dipper stars are a classification of young stellar objects that exhibit dimming variability in their light curves, dropping in brightness by 10-50%, likely induced by occultations…
TIC 114936199: A Quadruple Star System with a 12-day Outer Orbit Eclipse
Brian P. Powell, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamás Borkovits +19
We report the discovery with TESS of a remarkable quadruple star system with a 2+1+1 configuration. The two unique characteristics of this system are that (i) the inner eclipsing b…
The Visual Survey Group: A Decade of Hunting Exoplanets and Unusual Stellar Events with Space-Based Telescopes
Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg +9
This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) - a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space…
Six New Compact Triply Eclipsing Triples Found With TESS
S. A. Rappaport, T. Borkovits, R. Gagliano +21
In this work we report the discovery and analysis of six new compact triply eclipsing triple star systems found with the TESS mission: TICs 37743815, 42565581, 54060695, 178010808,…
Planet Hunters TESS IV: A massive, compact hierarchical triple star system TIC 470710327
Nora L. Eisner, Cole Johnston, Silvia Toonen +37
We report the discovery and analysis of a massive, compact, hierarchical triple system (TIC 470710327) initially identified by citizen scientists in data obtained by NASA's Transit…
97 Eclipsing Quadruple Star Candidates Discovered in TESS Full Frame Images
Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Saul A. Rappaport +17
We present a catalog of 97 uniformly-vetted candidates for quadruple star systems. The candidates were identified in TESS Full Frame Image data from Sectors 1 through 42 through a…
The TESS-Keck Survey. VIII. Confirmation of a Transiting Giant Planet on an Eccentric 261 day Orbit with the Automated Planet Finder Telescope
Paul A. Dalba, Stephen R. Kane, Diana Dragomir +72
We report the discovery of TOI-2180 b, a 2.8 giant planet orbiting a slightly evolved G5 host star. This planet transited only once in Cycle 2 of the primary Transiting…
