Abstract We present Gaia DR2 2144465183642117888, a previously unknown, wide white dwarf companion to the HP Dra eclipsing binary system. This companion was discovered through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science collaboration. It has separation of 14.″4 on the sky from the central eclipsing pair, translating to a projected separation of ∼1140 au. We present a review of the orbit and physical parameters of all the components in this now triple system.

WDJ220838.73+454434.04: a White Dwarf Companion in the AR Lacertae System
Abstract We present WDJ220838.73+454434.04 (hereafter WD2208+454), a wide, co-moving white dwarf companion to the eclipsing binary system, AR Lacertae. The companion was discovered through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science collaboration. It has a separation of 21.″9 on the sky from the central eclipsing pair, translating to a projected separation of ∼930 au. We present a review of the physical properties and orbital parameters of this new addition to the system.

Abstract We present the validation of a transiting low-density exoplanet orbiting the M2.5 dwarf TOI 620 discovered by the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. We utilize photometric data from both TESS and ground-based follow-up observations to validate the ephemerides of the 5.09 day transiting signal and vet false-positive scenarios. High-contrast imaging data are used to resolve the stellar host and exclude stellar companions at separations ≳0.″2. We obtain follow-up spectroscopy and corresponding precise radial velocities (RVs) with multiple precision radial velocity (PRV) spectrographs to confirm the planetary nature of the transiting exoplanet. We calculate a 5σupper limit ofMP< 7.1M⊕andρP< 0.74 g cm−3, and we identify a nontransiting 17.7 day candidate. We also find evidence for a substellar (1–20MJ) companion with a projected separation ≲20 au from a combined analysis of Gaia, adaptive optics imaging, and RVs. With the discovery of this outer companion, we carry out a detailed exploration of the possibilities that TOI 620 b might instead be a circum-secondary planet or a pair of eclipsing binary stars orbiting the host in a hierarchical triple system. We find, under scrutiny, that we can exclude both of these scenarios from the multiwavelength transit photometry, thus validating TOI 620 b as a low-density exoplanet transiting the central star in this system. The low density of TOI 620 b makes it one of the most amenable exoplanets for atmospheric characterization, such as with the James Webb Space Telescope and Ariel, validated or confirmed by the TESS mission to date.more » « less

Abstract We present a solution for the light curve of two bodies mutually transiting a star with polynomial limb darkening. The term “mutual transit” in this work refers to a transit of the star during which overlap occurs between the two transiting bodies. These could be an exoplanet with an exomoon companion, two exoplanets, an eclipsing binary and a planet, or two stars eclipsing a third in a triple-star system. We include analytic derivatives of the light curve with respect to the positions and radii of both bodies. We provide code that implements a photodynamical model for a mutual transit. We include two dynamical models, one for hierarchical systems in which a secondary body orbits a larger primary (e.g., an exomoon system) and a second for confocal systems in which two bodies independently orbit a central mass (e.g., two planets in widely separated orbits). Our code is fast enough to enable inference with Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms, and the inclusion of derivatives allows for the use of gradient-based inference methods such as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. While applicable to a variety of systems, this work was undertaken primarily with exomoons in mind. It is our hope that making this code publicly available will reduce barriers for the community to assess the detectability of exomoons, conduct searches for exomoons, and attempt to validate existing exomoon candidates. We also anticipate that our code will be useful for studies of planet–planet transits in exoplanetary systems, transits of circumbinary planets, and eclipses in triple-star systems.more » « less

Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has surveyed nearly the entire sky in full-frame image mode with a time resolution of 200 s to 30 minutes and a temporal baseline of at least 27 days. In addition to the primary goal of discovering new exoplanets, TESS is exceptionally capable at detecting variable stars, and in particular short-period eclipsing binaries, which are relatively common, making up a few percent of all stars, and represent powerful astrophysical laboratories for deep investigations of stellar formation and evolution. We combed Sectors 1–82 of the TESS full-frame image data searching for eclipsing binary stars using a neural network that identified ∼1.2 million stars with eclipse-like features. Of these, we have performed an in-depth analysis on ∼60,000 targets using automated methods and manual inspection by citizen scientists. Here we present a catalog of 10,001 uniformly vetted and validated eclipsing binary stars that passed all our ephemeris and photocenter tests, as well as complementary visual inspection. Of these, 7936 are new eclipsing binaries while the remaining 2065 are known systems for which we update the published ephemerides. We outline the detection and analysis of the targets, discuss the properties of the sample, and highlight potentially interesting systems. Finally, we also provide a list of ∼900,000 unvetted and unvalidated targets for which the neural network found eclipse-like features with a score higher than 0.9, and for which there are no known eclipsing binaries within a sky-projected separation of a TESS pixel (≈21″).more » « less

In a search for eclipsing white dwarfs using the Zwicky Transient Facility lightcurves, we identified a deep eclipsing white dwarf with a dark, substellar companion. The lack of an infrared excess and an orbital period of 10 hours made this a potential exoplanet candidate. We obtained high-speed photometry and radial velocity measurements to characterize the system. The white dwarf has a mass of 0.50±0.02M⊙ and a temperature of 10900±200K. The companion has a mass of 0.059±0.004M⊙ and a small radius of 0.0783±0.0013R⊙. It is one of the smallest transiting brown dwarfs known and likely old, ≳8Gyr. The ZTF discovery efficiency of substellar objects transiting white dwarfs is limited by the number of epochs and as ZTF continues to collect data we expect to find more of these systems. This will allow us to measure period and mass distributions and allows us to understand the formation channels of white dwarfs with substellar companions.more » « less
