BEBOP VIII. SOPHIE radial velocities reveal an eccentric, circumbinary brown dwarf
Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft, Neda Heidari +18
Circumbinary configurations offer a test of planet formation in an altered environment, where the inner binary has perturbed a protoplanetary disc. Comparisons of the physical and…
Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- VI. Improved methodology and application to the circumbinary planet host star BEBOP-3
P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, T. A. Baycroft +3
BEBOP-3 is detached eclipsing binary star that shows total eclipses of a faint M~dwarf every 13.2 days by a 9-magnitude F9V star. High precision radial velocity measurem…
EBLM XV -- Revised dynamical masses for the circumbinary planet host Kepler-16 AB, using the SOPHIE spectrograph
D. Sebastian, I. Boisse, A. Santerne +14
Eclipsing binaries are perfect laboratories to measure precise, accurate and model-independent stellar radii and stellar masses, so long as both components are spectroscopically re…
Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Fifteen Galactic Red Giants in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +9
Precise and accurate mass and radius measurements of evolved stars are crucial to calibrating stellar models. Stars in detached eclipsing binaries (EBs) are excellent potential cal…
Identifying Flare Locations Through Exoplanet Transit Occultations
Tayt Armitage, David V. Martin, Romy RodrÃguez MartÃnez
M dwarfs are the most common stars in the galaxy, with long lifespans, a high occurrence rate of rocky planets, and close-in habitable zones. However, high stellar activity in the…
