370 New Eclipsing Binary Candidates from TESS Sectors 1-26

TL;DR

This paper reports the discovery of 370 new eclipsing binary candidates from TESS data, expanding the catalog of known systems through statistical analysis and visual confirmation of light curves.

Contribution

It introduces a new set of 370 eclipsing binary candidates identified from TESS sectors 1-26, including those not previously cataloged, using a combination of statistical criteria and visual verification.

Findings

Identified 370 new eclipsing binary candidates.

Final sample includes 2,288 confirmed candidates.

Statistical features for candidate selection are reported.

Abstract

We present 370 candidate eclipsing binaries (EBs), identified from ~510,000 short cadence TESS light curves. Our statistical criteria identify 5,105 light curves with features consistent with eclipses (~1% of the initial sample). After visual confirmation of the light curves, we have a final sample of 2,288 EB candidates. Among these, we find 370 sources that were not included in the catalog recently published by Prsa et al. We publish our full sample of 370 new EB candidates, and statistical features used for their identification, reported per observation sector.
