Deep inside low-mass stars [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
Low-mass stars exhibit, at all stages of their evolution, the signatures of complex physical processes that require challenging modeling beyond standard stellar theory.

Influence of the initial orbital period and accretion efficiency on the low-mass binary evolution [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2021
This paper presents detailed evolutionary models of low-mass binary systems (1.25 + 1 M⊙) with initial orbital periods of 10, 50 and 100 days and accretion efficiency of 10%, 20%, 50%, and a conservative assumption.

TOI-5375 B: A Very Low Mass Star at the Hydrogen-burning Limit Orbiting an Early M-type Star

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission detected a companion orbiting TIC 71268730, categorized it as a planet candidate, and designated the system TOI-5375.

The EBLM Project—From False Positives to Benchmark Stars and Circumbinary Exoplanets

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
The EBLM project aims to characterise very-low-mass stars that are companions to solar-type stars in eclipsing binaries. We describe the history and motivation for this project, the methodology we use to obtain the precise mass, radius, and effective ...

Effective temperature and the light curve solution of contact binary systems [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2023
With an increasing number of contact binary discoveries and the recognition that luminous red novae are the result of contact binary merger events, there has been a significant increase in the number of light curve solutions appearing in the ...

Star Formation as Seen by Low Mass Stars

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) we have characterised and compared the physical properties of a large sample of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars spanning a wide range of masses (0:5 - 4Mʘ), metallicities (0:1 - 1 Zʘ) and ages (0:5 - 30 Myr).

PRE-MAIN SEQUENCE EVOLUTIONS OF SOLAR ABUNDANCE LOW MASS STARS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2007
We present the Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks of stars with 0.065~5.0M_⨀. The models were evolved from the PMS stellar birthline to the onset of hydrogen burning in the core.

Tracing the Evolution of SMBHs and Stellar Objects in Galaxy Mergers: A Multi-mass Direct N-body Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
By using direct N -body numerical simulations, we model the dynamical coevolution of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the surrounding stars in merging galaxies. In order to investigate how different stellar components evolve during the merger, we

The Search for Low-mass Companions of B Stars in the Carina Nebula Cluster Trumpler 16 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have developed lists of likely B3--A0 stars (called "late B" stars) in the young cluster Trumpler 16. The following criteria were used: location within 3' of Eta Car, an appropriate V and B-V combination, and proper motion (where available). Color and

Galactic consequences of clustered star formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
If all stars form in clusters and both the stars and the clusters follow a power law distribution which favours the creation of low mass objects, then the numerous low mass clusters will be deficient in high mass stars.
