Hot moons and cool stars [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The exquisite photometric precision of the Kepler space telescope now puts the detection of extrasolar moons at the horizon. Here, we firstly review observational and analytical techniques that have recently been proposed to find exomoons.

Observations of Cool-Star Magnetic Fields

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2012
Cool stars like the Sun harbor convection zones capable of producing substantial surface magnetic fields leading to stellar magnetic activity. The influence of stellar parameters like rotation, radius, and age on cool-star magnetism, and the importance ...

Critical Metallicity of Cool Supergiant Formation. I. Effects on Stellar-mass Loss and Feedback

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
This paper systematically studies the relation between metallicity and mass loss of massive stars. We perform one-dimensional stellar evolution simulations and build a grid of ∼2000 models with initial masses ranging between 11 and 60 M _⊙ and absolute ...

The Carbon Star DY Persei May Be a Cool R Coronae Borealis Variable

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Optical and near-IR photometry suggests that the carbon star DY Persei exhibits fadings similar to those of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) variables. Photometric surveys of the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds uncovered new DY Per variables with infrared ...

Spots and Flares in Hot Main Sequence Stars Observed by Kepler, K2, and TESS

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
About 22,000 Kepler stars, 7,000 K2 stars, and nearly 60,000 TESS stars from sectors 1–24 have been classified according to variability type. A large proportion of stars of all spectral types appear to have periods in their light curves consistent with ...

Search for Young and Intermediate-age Stellar Populations in the Galactic Center with Subaru/MOIRCS and CO Narrowband Filters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Extinction toward the Galactic Center (GC) is extreme and limits observations of its stars to the infrared. In addition, the extinction varies on scales of arcseconds.

Infrared spectra of cool stars - nature and models (Review).

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Problems of modeling of IR spectra of the cool stars are discussed. Some results for M-giants, C-giants, peculiar stars and brown dwarfs are shown.

EU ABUNDANCES IN ACTIVE AND NON-ACTIVE STARS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2010
Eu abundances have been determined for stars observed at high resolution, high signal to noise ratio with the ELODIE spectrograph at the 1.93- m telescope of the Observatoire de Haute Provence (France). Among them more than 30 stars are active stars with

HST Low-resolution Stellar Library

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
In order to provide fundamental stellar spectra that extend into the UV, Hubble Space Telescope’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph targeted 556 stars via proposals GO9088, GO9786, GO10222, and GO13776.
