We develop a new and powerful method to analyze time series to rigorously detect flares in the presence of an irregularly oscillatory baseline, and apply it to stellar light curves observed with TESS. First, we remove the underlying…

Using multidirectional measurements from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we investigated the viability of determining the approximate shape and spin axis orientations for 44 selected main belt asteroids, using light curve…

The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is expected to launch in January 2027. A total of 8\% of its data rate will be dedicated to complementary science targets selected from approved Guest Observer proposals. We…

The T16 project has produced a uniformly detrended and systematics-corrected set of 83,717,159 TESS Cycle 1 full-frame image light curves for stars observed by TESS in its primary mission down to T=16 mag, enabling sensitive transit…

Light curves of 57 classical Be stars in TESS sectors 1 - 15 are examined. In most Be stars, the periodogram shows groups at a fundamental and one or more harmonics, which we attribute to rotation. In about 40 percent of the stars, the…

We present the eccentricity distribution of warm sub-Saturns (4-8 Re, 8-200 day periods) as derived from an analysis of transit light curves from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. We use the "photoeccentric"…

Since the end of 2018, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has provided stellar photometry to the astronomical community. We have used TESS data to study rotational modulation in the light curves of a sample of chemically…

The sampling strategy of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) make TESS light curves extremely valuable to investigate high cadence optical variability of AGN. However, because the TESS instrument was primarily designed for…

We carried out a systematic study of full-orbit phase curves for known transiting systems in the northern ecliptic sky that were observed during Year 2 of the TESS primary mission. We applied the same methodology for target selection, data…

By using the horizontal visibility algorithm, the TESS light curves of 69 delta Sct stars are mapped to undirected horizontal visibility graphs (HVGs), where the graph nodes represent the light curve points. Then, the morphological…

We have searched for stellar activity cycles in late low mass M dwarfs (M0--M6) located in the TESS north and south continuous viewing zones using data from sectors 1--61 (Cycle 1 to part way through Cycle 5). We utilise TESS-SPOC data…

The number of known periodic variable stars has increased rapidly in recent years. As an all-sky transit survey, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) plays an important role in detecting low-amplitude variable stars. Using…

Astrophysical light curves are particularly challenging data objects due to the intensity and variety of noise contaminating them. Yet, despite the astronomical volumes of light curves available, the majority of algorithms used to process…

One way to understand planet formation is through studying the correlations between planet occurrence rates and stellar mass. However, measuring stellar mass in the red giant regime is very difficult. In particular, the spectroscopic masses…

We have identified nearly a hundred close triply eclipsing hierarchical triple star systems from data taken with the space telescope TESS. These systems are noteworthy in that we can potentially determine their dynamical and astrophysical…

The TESS space mission is producing superb data for asteroseismology, eclipsing binary stars, gyrochronology, and other fields of stellar astronomy where the data are variable light curves. We show that TESS data are excellent for…

Asteroseismology is the study of resonant oscillations of stars to infer their internal structure and dynamics. It is also a powerful tool for precisely determining stellar parameters such as mass, radius, surface gravity, and age. The…

Tidal synchronization plays a fundamental role in the evolution of binary star systems. However, key details such as the timescale of synchronization, efficiency of tidal dissipation, rotational period, and dependence on stellar mass are…
