Exoplanet candidate observation alert for TYC 2483-160-1

Active Dates: May 6, 2020 – May 7, 2020


Abstract:

Exoplanet researchers Dr. Veselin Kostov and his collaborators at NASA Goddard, along with Prof. Bill Welsh and Dr. Jerome Orosz at San Diego State University, request immediate observation of the primary eclipse of a new candidate TESS circumbinary system, TYC 2483-160-1. The target is an exoplanet orbiting an eclipsing binary, with a predicted eclipse midpoint on May 7, 2020.

Justification:

The eclipse is fairly deep (approx. 45%), making it observable with small-medium aperture telescopes. Due to the long duration of the eclipse and its timing uncertainty, an extended observation window centered on the expected midpoint is requested.
