Description
The MASCARA/bRing network consists of four separate observatories, located in La Palma, La Silla, Sutherland, and Siding Springs, and searches for exoplanet transits around bright stars. The three southern hemisphere stations allow for near continuous observations between the declination range of -30 to -90 degrees. These stations are sensitive to exoplanets which are extremely useful for further exoplanet atmospheric characterization, because of their size, periods, and host stars. This network can be used with TESS to search for exoplanets with periods greater than thirty days, by using the information obtained from a single observed transit from TESS to constrain different parameters used in the algorithm search of MASCARA.

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche
