Abstract
This talk will include two parts. The first part concerns our on-going efforts in searching for new compact binaries. In recent years, planet-search satellites such as Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have opened an era of high-precision photometry of a large number of stars. I demonstrate that TESS and ZTF photometric data are very useful in identifying periodicities of known spider-like systems, by observing the orbital period-modulated flux variation from the stellar companion. We report a group of potential compact binaries.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
