SIMBAD data

TOI-1338 is a binary star system located in the constellation Pictor, about 1,320 light-years from Earth. [2] It is orbited by two known circumbinary planets, TOI-1338 b, discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [4] and BEBOP-1c, discovered by the Binaries Escorted By Orbiting Planets project. [5]

Discovery and nomenclature

The circumbinary planet TOI-1338 b was found in the summer of 2019 by Wolf Cukier, a 17-year-old attending Scarsdale High School in New York at the time, who joined the Goddard Space Flight Center as a summer intern. [6] The acronym TOI stands for "TESS Objects of Interest." Cukier studied data provided by volunteers of the Planet Hunters citizen science project, looking through data that had been flagged as an eclipsing binary. [7] Cukier and six of the Planet Hunter volunteers are co-authors of the publication regarding the planet. [2] Cukier currently attends Princeton University as an undergraduate student in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences and is expected to graduate in 2024. [8]

The discovery of TOI-1338 b was announced in early January 2020 at the 235th American Astronomical Society meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. [9] In February 2021, a petition was launched calling for TOI-1338 b to be renamed SOPHIE in honor of late Scottish musician Sophie. [10] [11] The petition was supported by Charli XCX and Caroline Polachek. [10] The petition was unsuccessful in renaming TOI-1338 b, however, the International Astronomical Union announced that the minor planet 1980 RE1 was given the permanent name Sophiexeon in June 2021. [12]

In June 2023, a second circumbinary planet within the system was announced to have been discovered, named BEBOP-1c. [13] It was the first circumbinary planet to be found using the radial velocity method. [5]

TOI-1338 is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system, consisting of an F8 star and a red dwarf of spectral type M. The system has an age of 4.4 billion years. The two stars with masses of 1.13 and 0.313 M☉ revolve around each other every 14.6 days. The red dwarf is about nine magnitudes fainter than the primary star and cannot be detected in the spectrum. [15] [2]

The orbit of the two stars is inclined at 89.7° and both primary and secondary eclipses can be observed, although the brightness changes are very small. The primary eclipse occurs when the hotter primary star is partially occulted by the cooler secondary. It lasts about five hours and the brightness decreases by about 4%. The secondary eclipses occur when the cooler star is occulted by the hotter star. They also last about five hours but the brightness drops by less than half a percent. [2]

Planetary system

The planet TOI-1338 b is between Neptune and Saturn in size, and has an orbit that is within ~1° coplanar with the binary. [2] It is roughly 22 times the mass of Earth. [13] The spin of the primary star also aligns with the orbits of the binary and the planet (spin-orbit angle β = 2.8±17.1 °). This is the second time the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect was measured for a star hosting a circumbinary planet. Kepler-16 was the first system with such a measurement. The measurement of the alignment for TOI-1338 suggests that the planet formed from a single circumbinary disk. [16]

BEBOP-1c is a gas giant about 65 times the mass of Earth. [13]

HW Virginis, abbreviated HW Vir, is an eclipsing binary system, approximately 563 light-years away based on the parallax measured by the Gaia spacecraft, in the constellation of Virgo. The system comprises an eclipsing B-type subdwarf star and red dwarf star. The two stars orbit each other every 0.116795 days.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Circumbinary planet</span> Planet that orbits two stars instead of one

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.

WASP-29 is a binary star system 285 light-years away in the constellation of Phoenix. The primary star is a K-type main-sequence star. Its comoving companion, a red dwarf star, was discovered in 2021. The star system kinematically belongs to the thin disk of the Milky Way. The primary is an old star with small starspot activity and low x-ray flux.

WASP-26 is a yellow main sequence star in the constellation of Cetus.

WASP-78, is a single F-type main-sequence star about 2500 light-years away. It is likely to be younger than the Sun at 3.4+1.5
−0.8 billion years. WASP-78 is depleted in heavy elements, having a 45% concentration of iron compared to the Sun.

BD-07 436, also known as WASP-77 since 2012, is a binary star system about 344 light-years away. The star's components appears to have a different age, with the secondary older than 9 billion years, while the primary's age is 5 billion years. The BD-07 436 system's concentration of heavy elements is similar to the Sun. Its stars display moderate chromospheric activity, including x-ray flares.

WASP-72 is the primary of a binary star system. It is an F7 class dwarf star, with an internal structure just on the verge of the Kraft break. It is orbited by a planet WASP-72b. The age of WASP-72 is younger than the Sun at 3.55±0.82 billion years.

WASP-62, formally named Naledi, is a single star about 573 light-years away. It is an F class main-sequence star, orbited by a planet, WASP-62b. The age of WASP-62 is much younger than the Sun at 0.8±0.6 billion years, and it has a metal abundance similar to the Sun.

WASP-61 is a single F-type main-sequence star about 1560 light-years away. The star age is much likely younger than the Sun's at approximately 3.8+1.8
−0.9 billion years. WASP-61 is depleted in heavy elements, having just 40% of the solar abundance of iron.

WASP-84, also known as BD+02 2056, is a G-type main-sequence star 327 light-years away in the constellation Hydra. Its surface temperature is 5350±31 K and is slightly enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.05±0.02. It is rich in carbon and depleted of oxygen. WASP-84's age is probably older than the Sun at 8.5+4.1
−5.5 billion years. The star appears to have an anomalously small radius, which can be explained by the unusually high helium fraction or by it being very young.
