Rotation of solar‐like stars in the immediate solar neighborhood
Abstract Although photometric space‐based missions such as CoRoT or Kepler have yielded rotation measurements of many thousands of late‐type stars during the last decade, the rotational properties of the bulk of the G star population remain undetected by these missions.

Modified Least Trimmed Quantile Regression to Overcome Effects of Leverage Points
Quantile regression estimates are robust for outliers in y direction but are sensitive to leverage points. The least trimmed quantile regression (LTQReg) method is put forward to overcome the effect of leverage points. The LTQReg method trims higher residuals based on trimming percentage specified by the data.

Resonant Mode Coupling in δ Scuti Stars
Delta Scuti ( δ Sct) variables are intermediate-mass stars that lie at the intersection of the main sequence and the instability strip on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram.

Age spreads in star forming regions? [PDF]
Rotation periods and projected equatorial velocities of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in star forming regions can be combined to give projected stellar radii. Assuming random axial orientation, a Monte-Carlo model is used to illustrate that distributions

We present the lifetime star formation histories (SFHs) for six ultrafaint dwarf (UFD; M _V > − 7.0, $4.9\lt {\mathrm{log}}_{10}({M}_{* }(z=0)/{M}_{\odot })\lt 5.5$ ) satellite galaxies of M31 based on deep color–magnitude diagrams constructed from ...

Energetic properties of stellar pulsations across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
I will review types of modes which are observed in stars with different masses and on various evolutionary stages. In particular, I will focus on energetic aspects of oscillation modes, i.e., excitation, distribution of kinetic energy, mode amplitude and

On the Modeling of Algol-Type Binaries
In earlier papers, we presented a binary evolutionary code for the purpose of reproducing the orbital parameters, masses, radii, and location in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram (abbreviated as HRD) of well-observed Algol systems.

Asteroseismology with the WIRE satellite [PDF]
I give a summary of results from the WIRE satellite, which has been used to observe bright stars from 1999-2000 and 2003-2006. The WIRE targets are monitored for up to five weeks with a duty cycle of 30-40%.

STIS spectroscopy of newborn massive stars in SMC N81 [PDF]
Using Hubble Space Telescope observations with STIS, we study the main exciting stars of N81, a high excitation compact Hii region in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

Resolving stellar populations with integral field spectroscopy
Abstract High‐performance instruments at large ground‐based telescopes have made integral field spectroscopy (IFS) a powerful tool for the study of extended objects such as galaxies, nebulae, or even larger survey fields on the sky. Here, we discuss the capabilities of IFS for the study of resolved stellar populations, using the new method of point ...
