Description
There are thousands of previously known and newly identified eclipsing binaries observed almost continuously for nearly a year long during Year 2 of the TESS mission. These precise and unique data sets give us an opportunity to measure a significant amount of their eclipse times on a time-scale comparable to the usual outer orbital periods of compact hierarchical triple stellar systems (below 1-2 years). In our project, we obtain the light curves from TESS Full-Frame Images of more than 4,000 eclipsing binaries observed at least during 8 Sectors and determine their eclipse timing variations in order to search for the signals of third-body perturbations and/or light travel time effect caused by an unseen, more distant component. We present orbital solutions for the identified triple systems and statistical considerations will also be discussed.
