Probing the composition of sub-millisecond rotating compact stars by r-modes instability [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray ...

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

Modelling and observations of molecules in discs around young stars [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis contains a study of molecules within circumstellar discs around young stars. Firstly, the chemistry of a disc around a young, Class 0 protostar is modelled.

Three Statistically Validated K2 Transiting Warm Jupiter Exoplanets Confirmed as Low-mass Stars [PDF]
, 2017 We have identified three K2 transiting star-planet systems, K2-51 (EPIC 202900527), K2-67 (EPIC 206155547), and K2-76 (EPIC 206432863), as stellar binaries with low-mass stellar secondaries.

A study of U Aquarii and the nucleosynthesis of neutrons and S-process elements in evolved stars of low mass [PDF]
, 2014 The origin of the extreme hydrogen deficiency observed in the R Coronae Borealis (RCrB) stars remains poorly understood. A likely mechanism for producing this deficiency is one whereby the original hydrogen envelope of the star is engulfed and ...

Dynamical Masses of Low-mass Stars in the Taurus and Ophiuchus Star-forming Regions [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract We report new dynamical masses for five pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the L1495 region of the Taurus star-forming region (SFR) and six in the L1688 region of the Ophiuchus SFR. Since these regions have VLBA parallaxes, these are absolute measurements of the stars’ masses and are independent of their effective temperatures and

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

The EBLM Project V. Physical properties of ten fully convective, very-low-mass stars [PDF]
, 2019 Measurements of the physical properties of stars at the lower end of the main sequence are scarce. In this context we report masses, radii and surface gravities of ten very-low-mass stars in eclipsing binary systems, with orbital periods of the order of ...
