Triaud, Dong Lai — «The BEBOP (Binaries Escorted By Orbiting Planets) survey is a search for circumbinary planets using the radial velocity spectrographs HARPS and SOPHIE, currently focusing on single-lined binaries with a mass ratio $<0.3$. Circumbinary systems are an important testing ground for…»

15:27 <galois> [arXiv] “CLOWN: The PASO cloud detection for optimization of automatic optical surveys” Luís Gonçalves, Bruno Coelho, Domingos Barbosa et al. — «Orbiting space objects have become in the last decade a major nuisance impacting ground astronomy and orbiting space assets, from observatories to satellites and space stations. In particular with the rise of the satellite population in Low Earth Orbits (LEOs), space objects are…»

16:42 <galois> [arXiv] “Searching for Tidal Orbital Decay in Hot Jupiters” Efrain Alvarado III, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra et al. — «We study transits of several ``hot Jupiter'' systems - including WASP-12 b, WASP-43 b, WASP-103 b, HAT-P-23 b, KELT-16 b, WD 1856+534 b, and WTS-2 b - with the goal of detecting tidal orbital decay and extending the baselines of transit times. We find no evidence of orbital decay in any of the observed…»
