A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes - XI. Spot Lifetimes and Coverage Distributions
Dirk Froebrich, Carys Herbert, Aleks Scholz +47
We present a homogeneous analysis of rotational variability and spot properties in young stellar objects across multiple star-forming regions observed by the Hunting Outbursting Yo…
TOI-7169 b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Metal-Poor Star
Joshua D. Simon, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jhon Yana Galarza +38
Most known planets are found around metal-rich host stars, which has made it difficult to determine whether a lower metallicity limit for planet formation exists and how the proper…
Unraveling the Brown Dwarf Desert: Four New Discoveries and a Unifying, Period-Coded Picture
Ján Šubjak, Rafael Brahm, Jozef Lipták +30
We present four newly validated transiting brown dwarfs identified through TESS photometry and confirmed with high-precision radial velocity measurements obtained from the FEROS an…
ASASSN-24fw: Candidate circumplanetary disk occultation of a main-sequence star
Nadia L. Zakamska, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Dmitry Bizyaev +24
Dusty disks around planetary and substellar companions in outer reaches of exo-planetary systems can be detected as long-lasting occultations, provided the observer is close to the…
Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii
Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56
The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…
