This is a list of transiting circumsecondary disks (including possible ring systems). A circumsecondary disk is a disk of gas and/or dust around a star, white dwarf or substellar object that is a secondary in a star system. In rare cases the system can be aligned in a way that makes it possible for the circumsecondary disk to transit in front of the primary. In some cases the observed dips can be so deep that researchers describe these dimming events as occultations.
The object J1407b was considered a circumsecondary disk in the past, but later turned out to be more likely a free-floating planetary-mass object with a disk. PDS 110 is a candidate with uncertain status, as later eclipses did not occur. VVV-WIT-07, [1] ASASSN-V J192543.72+402619.0, [2] ASASSN-21co, [3] FY Scuti, [4] OGLE-BLG182.1.162852, [5] and ZTF J185259.31+124955.2 [6] are candidates without much modelling of the disk.

A proplyd, short for ionized protoplanetary disk, is an externally illuminated photoevaporating protoplanetary disk around a young star. Nearly 180 proplyds have been discovered in the Orion Nebula. Images of proplyds in other star-forming regions are rare, while Orion is the only region with a large known sample due to its relative proximity to Earth.
A protoplanet is a large planetary embryo that originated within a protoplanetary disk and has undergone internal melting to produce a differentiated interior. Protoplanets are thought to form out of kilometer-sized planetesimals that gravitationally perturb each other's orbits and collide, gradually coalescing into the dominant planets.
Photoevaporation is the process where energetic radiation ionises gas and causes it to disperse away from the ionising source. The term is typically used in an astrophysical context where ultraviolet radiation from hot stars acts on clouds of material such as molecular clouds, protoplanetary disks, or planetary atmospheres.
NGC 1042 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on 10 November 1885 by American astronomer Lewis Swift. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 14.0.
A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two stars instead of one. The two stars orbit each other in a binary system, while the planet typically orbits farther from the center of the system than either of the two stars. In contrast, circumstellar planets in a binary system have stable orbits around one of the two stars, closer in than the orbital distance of the other star. Studies in 2013 showed that there is a strong hint that a circumbinary planet and its stars originate from a single disk.
The Lambda Orionis Cluster is an open star cluster located north-west of the star Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion. It is about five million years old and roughly 1,300 ly (400 pc) away from the Sun. Included within the cluster is a double star named Meissa. With the rest of Orion, it is visible from the middle of August in the morning sky, to late April before Orion becomes too close to the Sun to be seen well. It can be seen from both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
Phi Leonis is a single star in the constellation Leo. It is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.46. Based upon parallax measurements, the distance to Phi Leo is around 184 light years.
LP 71-82 is a red dwarf star, located in constellation Draco at 25.42 light-years from Earth. Kinematically, it is probably belongs to the Ursa Major Moving Group.
K2-18, also known as EPIC 201912552, is a red dwarf star with two planetary companions located 124 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Leo.
An Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transient (ILOT) is an astronomical object which undergoes an optically detectable explosive event with an absolute magnitude (M) brighter than a classical nova (M ~ −8) but fainter than that of a supernova (M ~ −17). That nine magnitude range corresponds to a factor of nearly 4000 in luminosity, so the ILOT class may include a wide variety of objects. The term ILOT first appeared in a 2009 paper discussing the nova-like event NGC 300 OT2008-1. As the term has gained more widespread use, it has begun to be applied to some objects like KjPn 8 and CK Vulpeculae for which no transient event has been observed, but which may have been dramatically affected by an ILOT event in the past. The number of ILOTs known is expected to increase substantially when the Vera C. Rubin Observatory becomes operational.
SN 2010jl was a luminous type IIn supernova that was discovered on November 3, 2010, in the irregular galaxy UGC 5189A. It is 48.9 ± 3.4 Mpc distant from the solar system. It showed an infrared excess which lasted for over 1400 days.
Abell 697 BCG, also known as LEDA 2079433, is a massive type-cD elliptical galaxy residing as the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 697 galaxy cluster. It is located in the constellation of Lynx and has a redshift of 0.28, meaning the galaxy is located 3.5 billion light-years away from Earth.
