A Population of Dipper Stars from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Mission

Dipper stars are a classification of young stellar objects that exhibit dimming variability in their light curves, dropping brightness by 10-50%, likely induced occultations due to circumstellar disk material. This can be periodic, quasi-periodic, or aperiodic. have been discovered associations via ground-based and space-based photometric surveys. We present the detection characterization largest collection dipper date: 293 stars, including 234 new candidates. produced catalog these targets, which also includes variables predominately bursting-like symmetric (equal parts bursting dipping). The total number sources is 414. These variable were found visual survey TESS where dipping-like was observed. typical age among our <5 Myr, with distribution peaking at ~2 tail extending ages older than 20 Myr. Regardless age, candidates tend infrared excess, indicative presence disks. now observing ecliptic plane, rich associations, so we anticipate many more discoveries dataset. A larger sample would enhance census statistics curve morphologies ages.
