The target, a known eclipsing binary, was observed in sectors 1 through 12 at 30 minute cadence and in sectors 4 through 12 at 2 minute cadence. It consists of two stars with masses of 1.1 M⊙ and 0.3 M⊙ on a slightly eccentric (0.16), 14.6 day orbit, producing prominent primary eclipses and shallow secondary eclipses. The planet has a radius of ∼6.9 R⊕ and was observed to make three transits across the primary star of roughly equal depths (∼0.2%) but different durations—a common signature of transiting CBPs. Its orbit is nearly circular (e ≍ 0.09) with an orbital period of 95.2 days. The orbital planes of the binary and the planet are aligned to within ∼1°. To obtain a complete solution for the system, we combined the TESS photometry with existing ground-based radial-velocity observations in a numerical photometric-dynamical model. The system demonstrates the discovery potential of TESS for CBPs and provides further understanding of the formation and evolution of planets orbiting close binary stars.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

    Planet Hunters Tess I: TOI 813, a subgiant hosting a transiting Saturn-sized planet on an 84-day orbit

    We report on the discovery and validation of TOI 813 b (TIC55525572b), a transiting exoplanet identified by citizen scientists in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the first planet discovered by the Planet Hunters TESS project. The host star is a bright (V = 10.3 mag) subgiant (R* = 1.94 R☉, M☉ = 1.32 M☉). It was observed almost continuously by TESS during its first year of operations, during which time four individual transit events were detected. The candidate passed all the standard light curve-based vetting checks, and ground-based follow-up spectroscopy and speckle imaging enabled us to place an upper limit of 2 MJup (99 per cent confidence) on the mass of the companion, and to statistically validate its planetary nature. Detailed modelling of the transits yields a period of 83.8911+0.0027-0.0031 d, a planet radius of 6.71 ± 0.38 R⊕ and a semimajor axis of 0.423+0031-0.037 AU. The planet's orbital period combined with the evolved nature of the host star places this object in a relatively underexplored region of parameter space. We estimate that TOI 813 b induces a reflex motion in its host star with a semi-amplitude of ∼6 m s−1, making this a promising system to measure the mass of a relatively long-period transiting planet

    New Hard-TeV Extreme Blazars Detected with the MAGIC Telescopes*

    Extreme high-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects (EHBLs) are blazars that exhibit extremely energetic synchrotron emission. They also feature nonthermal gamma-ray emission whose peak lies in the very high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) range, and in some sources exceeds 1 TeV: this is the case for hard-TeV EHBLs such as 1ES 0229+200. With the aim of increasing the EHBL population, 10 targets were observed with the MAGIC telescopes from 2010 to 2017, for a total of 265 hr of good-quality data. The data were complemented by coordinated Swift observations. The X-ray data analysis confirms that all but two sources are EHBLs. The sources show only a modest variability and a harder-when-brighter behavior, typical for this class of objects. At VHE gamma-rays, three new sources were detected and a hint of a signal was found for another new source. In each case, the intrinsic spectrum is compatible with the hypothesis of a hard-TeV nature of these EHBLs. The broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of all sources are built and modeled in the framework of a single-zone, purely leptonic model. The VHE gamma-ray-detected sources were also interpreted with a spine-layer model and a proton synchrotron model. The three models provide a good description of the SEDs. However, the resulting parameters differ substantially in the three scenarios, in particular the magnetization parameter. This work presents the first mini catalog of VHE gamma-ray and multiwavelength observations of EHBLs

    Influence de la fistule pancréatique et de l’hémorragie post-opératoire sur la mortalité après duodénopancréatectomie céphalique (DPC).

    L’étude avait pour objectif d’évaluer l’influence de la fistule pancréatique et de l’hémorragie post-opératoire sur la mortalité après duodéno-pancréatectomie céphalique. L’étude avait inclu de façon rétrospective et prospective, sur une période de 6 ans, 82 patients (60 hommes et 22 femmes) ayant été l’objet d’une DPC pour tumeur maligne ou bénigne. Les aspects cliniques et opératoires ont été pris en compte pour l’étude de la morbidité et de la mortalité. Le taux de complication était de 43,9% parmi lesquelles 18,3% de fistules pancréatiques et d’hémorragie postopératoire. Respectivement. Les infections incluant les abcès profonds pariétaux représentaient 21,9%. Ces complications avaient nécéssité une reintervention dans 22% des cas (n=18). En analyse uni variée,la fibrose pancréatique était un facteur protecteur contre la fistule pancréatique (p = 0,03). En analyse multi variée, la fibrose était un facteur protecteur tandis qu'une durée opératoire supérieure à 310 minutesétait un facteur de risque (p = 0,026). La fistule pancréatique, l’hémorragie post opératoire et la reintervention étaient des facteurs de risque de survenue de décès (p=0,019, p=0,002 et p<0,001). L’associationd’une fistule pancréatique et d’une hémorragie augmente la mortalité des DPC lorsqu’elle nécessite une réintervention.Mots clés : fistule pancréatique, hémorragie, réintervention
