Chapter 7: triple star system
Hello and welcome to episode 32! We've got something a little different for you this week. With thirty thousand citizen scientists (then, now it’s even more) searching through TESS data, we've had many exciting discoveries, including some that have nothing to do with planets at all! We're taking a look at one of these discoveries - a triple star system - which has recently been published by Nora.
This is part one of three that will look at how the discovery was made from start to finish, including all the tests and follow-up observations. You can read more about the discovery in this blog post: https://blog.planethunters.org/2022/02/16/triple-star-system-found-via-planet-hunters-tess%EF%BF%BC/
