1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto It hosts two transiting warm Neptunes near mean-motion resonances. AU Mic b mean elements HJD= 2458330.38416 + 8.4631427 x E, amplitude 0.002, duration 1.8%. AU Mic c mean elements HJD= 2459454.8973 + 18.85882 x E, amplitude 0.001, duration 1.0%. Both planets show large-amplitude Transit Timing Variations. Minimum to-maximum amplitude ≥23 min. for AU Mic b and ≥9.5 min. for AU Mic c.
2 Hinzel, David H. Part of a triple hierarchical system with AT Mic AB.
3 Admin, VSX Member of the Beta Pictoris association.
4 GCVS Team mu alpha = +0.0212S, mu delta = -0.348" (mu, pi, Vr - common with AT Mic). SB? 0.20P <= M - m <= 0.55P. There are periodical light variations and also flares with A <= 0.5m U [I.C.Busko, C.A.O.Torres, AsAp 64, 153, 1978.].
