X-Ray Superflares from Pre-main-sequence Stars: Flare Energetics and Frequency [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
Solar-type stars exhibit their highest levels of magnetic activity during their early convective pre-main-sequence (PMS) phase of evolution. The most powerful PMS flares, superflares and megaflares, have peak X-ray luminosities of log(LX)=30.5–34.0 erg s−

Hipparcos observations of pre-main-sequence stars

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998
We present first results of Hipparcos observations of nearby low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars (T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be stars). The data obtained by Hipparcos allow us to derive weighted mean parallaxes for three major nearby star-forming regions (SFRs), Lupus, Chamaeleon I and Taurus–Auriga.

X-Ray Superflares from Pre-main-sequence Stars: Flare Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
Getman et al. report the discovery, energetics, frequencies, and effects on environs of >1000 X-ray superflares with X-ray energies E X ∼ 1034–1038 erg from pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars identified in the Chandra MYStIX and SFiNCs surveys.

Projected Rotational Velocities and Fundamental Properties of Low-mass Pre-main-sequence Stars in the Taurus–Auriga Star-forming Region [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
The projected stellar rotational velocity ( ) is critical for our understanding of processes related to the evolution of angular momentum in pre-main-sequence stars.

Untangling the Galaxy. III. Photometric Search for Pre-main-sequence Stars with Deep Learning [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2020
A reliable census of pre-main-sequence stars with known ages is critical to our understanding of early stellar evolution, but historically there has been difficulty in separating such stars from the field.

The Pre-main Sequence: Challenges and Prospects for Asteroseismology

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Stars do not simply pop up on the main sequence. Before the stars arrive on the zero-age main sequence, they form in the collapses of molecular clouds, gain matter through accretion processes, and compress their cores until hydrogen can burn in full ...

Simulating the Sensitivity to Stellar Point Sources of Chandra X-Ray Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey is a wide and deep X-ray survey of the nearby and massive Cygnus OB2 association. The survey has detected ∼8000 X-ray sources, the majority of which are pre-main-sequence X-ray-emitting young stars in the association ...

The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey: Design and X-Ray Point-source Catalog

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Cygnus OB2 association is the largest concentration of young and massive stars within 2 kpc of the Sun, including an estimated ∼65 O-type stars and hundreds of OB stars.

Photoevaporation and Close Encounters: How the Environment around Cygnus OB2 Affects the Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars. OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks orbiting around nearby young stars ...
