David V. Martin

David V. Martin studies binary and multiple star systems and the planets that orbit them, with a particular focus on 'circumbinary' planets that orbit two stars at once. Much of the work involves measuring precise masses, sizes, temperatures, and orbital orientations of eclipsing binary stars using ground- and space-based telescopes, as part of long-running survey projects such as EBLM and BEBOP. Related work examines stellar activity phenomena like starspots and flares.​

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from roughly 3-14 papers per year in the late 2010s to a peak of 23 in 2024, with sustained high output (12+ per year) in recent years.
