- Description:
- We visually analyzed the transit timing variation (TTV) data of 5930 Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) homogeneously. Using data from Rowe et al. (2014, J/ApJ/784/45) and Holczer et al. (2015, J/ApJ/807/170; 2016, J/ApJS/225/9), we investigated TTVs for nearly all KOIs in Kepler's Data Release 24 catalog. Using TTV plots, periodograms, and phase-folded quadratic plus sinusoid fits, we visually rated each KOI's TTV data in five categories. Our ratings emphasize the hundreds of planets with TTVs that are weaker than the ~200 that have been studied in detail. Our findings are consistent with statistical methods for identifying strong TTVs, though we found some additional systems worth investigation. Between about 3-50 days and 1.3-6 Earth radii, the frequency of strong TTVs increases with period and radius. As expected, strong TTVs are very common when period ratios are near a resonance, but there is not a one-to-one correspondence. The observed planet-by-planet frequency of strong TTVs is only somewhat lower in systems with one or two known planets (7%+/-1%) than in systems with three or more known planets (11%+/-2%). We attribute TTVs to known planets in multitransiting systems but find ~30 cases where the perturbing planet is unknown. Our conclusions are valuable as an ensemble for learning about planetary system architectures and individually as stepping stones toward more-detailed mass-radius constraints. We also discuss Data Release 25 TTVs, investigate ~100 KOIs with transit duration and/or depth variations, and estimate that the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite will likely find only ~10 planets with strong TTVs.

- Description:
- We have carried out a major survey for visual binaries toward the Orion Nebula Cluster, using images obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope through an Halpha filter. From 1051 stars more than 60" from theta^1^ Ori C, we have selected 781 that fulfill the criteria for membership in the Orion Nebula Cluster. Among these, we find 78 multiple systems (75 binaries and 3 triples), of which 55 are new discoveries, in the range from 0.1" to 1.5". We perform a statistical study of the 72 binaries and 3 triples that have separations in the limited range 0.15" to 1.5", within which we need no incompleteness correction.

- VIsual Binary Exoplanet survey with SPHERE
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/643/A98
- Date:

- Description:
- Recent surveys indicate that planets in binary systems are more abunda- nt than previously thought, which is in agreement with theoretical work on disc dynamics and planet formation in binaries. So far, most observational surveys, however, have focused on short-period planets in binaries, thus little is known about the occurrence rates of planets on longer periods (>10au). In order to measure the abundance and physical characteristics of wide-orbit giant exoplanets in binary systems, we have designed the 'VIsual Binary Exoplanet survey with Sphere' (VIBES) to search for planets in visual binaries. It uses the SPHERE instrument at VLT to search for planets in 23 visual binary and four visual triple systems with ages of <145Myr and distances of <150pc. We used the IRDIS dual-band imager on SPHERE to acquire high-contrast images of the sample targets. For each binary, the two components were observed at the same time with a coronagraph masking only the primary star. For the triple star, the tight components were treated as a single star for data reduction. This enabled us to effectively search for companions around 50 individual stars in binaries and four binaries in triples. We derived upper limits of <13.7% for the frequency of sub-stellar companions around primaries in visual binaries, <26.5% for the fraction of sub-stellar companions around secondaries in visual binaries, and an occurrence rate of <9.0% for giant planets and brown dwarfs around either component of visual binaries. We have combined our observations with literature measurements to astrometrically confirm, for the first time, that 20 binaries and two triple systems, which were previously known, are indeed physically bound. Finally, we discovered a third component of the binary HD 121336. The upper limits we derived are compatible with planet formation through the core accretion and the gravitational instability processes in binaries. These limits are also in line with limits found for single star and circumbinary planet search surveys.

- Description:
- This catalogue is the only complete list of all known double and multiple systems (18644) of which at least one component was identified in the Hipparcos final catalog in July 1997 (Cat. <I/239>), including the 2994 systems newly discovered by the satellite, as well as the 155 new astrometric orbital pairs also discovered by the satellite (Dommanget, 2000Obs...120..202D), and also the 38 new astrometric binaries components of known systems. It may be considered as a subset of the CCDM as existing in 1998 of which a first edition appeared in 1994 (Cat. <I/211>), and of which a second edition containing more than 45,000 systems is being prepared for publication. Consequently, the format of this list is that of the CCDM for which all information may be found in the introduction of its 1994 published version (as file I/211/ccdm.doc) The format of this catalogue is the same as the CCDM (Cat. <I/211>)

- Description:
- Astrophysical parameters (MK class, colour excess, absolute magnitude, distance, effective temperature, mass and age) are derived from calibrations of the uvbybeta indices for the members of 253 double stars with O or B type primaries and faint secondaries. The photometric spectral classification is compared to the MK classes and the agreement is very good. The derived data together with spectroscopic and JHKL data indicate that these stars are likely to be members of physical systems. For 90% of the physical pairs the projected separations between the components is less than 25,000 AU. A majority of the physical secondaries are late type stars and 50% of them are contracting towards the zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS).

- Visual photometry for the Be star {mu} Centauri
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Description:
- With the aim of contributing to the understanding of the disk formation process in Be stars, we pursued a one-year spectroscopic observing campaign of the Be star {mu} Centauri in the L-band, using VLT/ISAAC. We present the nine near-IR spectra we obtained in an epoch of relative photometric quiescence prior to an outburst of {Delta}V=0.4 magnitude. Visual estimates during the epoch of our L-band spectroscopy are also presented for the first time, together with the unpublished complete visual light curve between the years 1998 and 2014. We observe significant and monotonic changes in emission line strength of Bracket-{alpha} and Pfund-{gamma} lines relative to Humphreys lines, and also in the continuum slope. We interpret these observed changes in terms of important changes to the column density of the line emitting regions, moving from an optically thin to an optically thick stage just prior to a major outburst. For each observing date, we provide estimates for the column density and relative extension of the line emitting region. If the changes observed toward the end of our observing campaign were related to mass-loss changes from the central star, they would correspond to an increase in a factor of two in the mass of the disk in the innermost region. If related to the visual outburst observed one month later, the variability observed in our spectra would be the first detection of the early disk formation process in the L-band.
