Abstract

KIC 2835289 is a triple stellar system that consists of an inner ellipsoidal variable with an orbital period of ~0.86 days and an outer star that eclipses the inner pair every ~750 days. Two eclipse events were observed by the Kepler mission, but they do not fully constrain our photodynamical models. The next eclipse event will occur on May 14 UT, and we solicit community involvement to follow it up from the ground. All details are available in the attached call. Please contact the authors to join the follow-up campaign.
