The Kinematics of the Young Stellar Population in the W5 Region of the Cassiopeia OB6 Association: Implication for the Formation Process of Stellar Associations

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The star-forming region W5 is a major part of the Cassiopeia OB6 association. Its internal structure and kinematics may provide hints of the star formation process in this region.

Addressing Systematics in the Traceback Age of the β Pictoris Moving Group

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We characterize the impact of several sources of systematic errors on the computation of the traceback age of the β Pictoris moving group ( β PMG). We find that uncorrected gravitational redshift and convective blueshift bias absolute radial velocity ...

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME). IX. A 27 Myr Extended Population of Lower Centaurus Crux with a Transiting Two-planet System

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery and characterization of a nearby (∼85 pc), older (27 ± 3 Myr), distributed stellar population near Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC), initially identified by searching for stars comoving with a candidate transiting planet from TESS (HD ...

Kepler and the Behemoth: Three Mini-Neptunes in a 40 Million Year Old Association

The Astronomical Journal, 2022
Stellar positions and velocities from Gaia are yielding a new view of open cluster dispersal. Here we present an analysis of a group of stars spanning Cepheus ( l = 100°) to Hercules ( l = 40°), hereafter the Cep-Her complex.

The Oceanus Moving Group: A New 500 Myr Old Host for the Nearest Brown Dwarf

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery of the Oceanus moving group, a ≈500 Myr old group with 50 members and candidate members at distances 2–50 pc from the Sun, using an unsupervised clustering analysis of nearby stars with Gaia DR3 data.

PHANGS–JWST First Results: The Influence of Stellar Clusters on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Nearby Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present a comparison of theoretical predictions of dust continuum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission with new JWST observations in three nearby galaxies: NGC 628, NGC 1365, and NGC 7496.

SPYGLASS. IV. New Stellar Survey of Recent Star Formation within 1 kpc

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Young stellar populations provide a powerful record that traces millions of years of star formation history in the solar neighborhood. Using a revised form of the SPYGLASS young star identification methodology, we produce an expanded census of nearby ...

A Population of Dipper Stars from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Mission

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
Dipper stars are a classification of young stellar objects that exhibit dimming variability in their light curves, dropping in brightness by 10%–50%, likely induced by occultations due to circumstellar disk material.

Stellar Flare Study of nearby Young Moving Group Members with TESS Data

The Astrophysical Journal
We analyze TESS data to explore stellar flares and rotational characteristics in members of nearby young moving groups (NYMGs). Our study focuses on 417 members of NYMGs aged 10–150 Myr.
