High-resolution Imaging of a TESS Control Sample: Verifying a Deficit of Close-in Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars

High-resolution Imaging of a TESS Control Sample: Verifying a Deficit of Close-in Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars

The large number of exoplanets discovered with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) means that any observational biases from TESS could influence the derived stellar multiplicity statistics of exoplanet host stars. To investigate this problem, we obtained speckle interferometry of 207 co...
