binaries eclipsing - stars: low-mass
Abstract:We report the discovery of four transiting F-M binary systems with companions between 0.1 and 0.2M_{sun}_ in mass by the HATSouth survey. These systems have been characterized via a global analysis of the HATSouth discovery data, combined with high-resolution radial velocities and accurate transit photometry observations. We determined the masses and radii of the component stars using a combination of two methods: isochrone fitting of spectroscopic primary star parameters and equating spectroscopic primary star rotation velocity with spin-orbit synchronization. These new very low mass companions are HATS550-016B (0.110_-0.006_^+0.005^M_{sun}_, 0.147_-0.004_^+0.003^R_{sun}_), HATS551-019B (0.17_-0.01_^+0.01^M_sun}_, 0.18_-0.01_^+0.01^R_{sun}_),
