Stellar Mass Calibrations for Local Low-mass Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalThe stellar masses of galaxies are measured from integrated light via several methods—however, few of these methods were designed for low-mass ( M _⋆ ≲ 10 ^8 M _⊙ ) “dwarf” galaxies, whose properties (e.g., stochastic star formation, low metallicity ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In this empirical work, we aim to quantify the systematic uncertainties in stellar-mass ( M _⋆ ) estimates made from spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting through stellar population synthesis (SPS) for galaxies in the local Universe by using the ...

Variation in the stellar mass function along stellar streams [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Stellar streams are the inevitable end product of star cluster evolution, with the properties of a given stream being related to its progenitor. We consider how the dynamical history of a progenitor cluster, as traced by the evolution of its stellar mass function, is reflected in the resultant stream.

The stellar initial mass function [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 Abstract The IMF UNIVERSALITY HYPOTHESIS cannot be discarded despite the existence of the CLUSTER IMF THEOREM. This means that the currently existing star-formation theory fails to describe the stellar outcome. The IGIMF THEOREM, however, predicts a variation of galaxy-wide IMFs in dependence of the galaxy's star-formation rate even if the IMF ...

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractIt has been known for some time now that rapidly-rotating solar-like stars possess the stellar equivalent of solar prominences. These may be three orders of magnitude more massive than their solar counterparts, and their ejection from the star may form a significant contribution to the loss of angular momentum and mass in the stellar wind.

STELLAR MASS DEPENDENT DISK DISPERSAL [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We use published optical spectral and IR excess data from nine young clusters and associations to study the stellar mass dependent dispersal of circumstellar disks. All clusters older than ~3 Myr show a decrease in disk fraction with increasing stellar mass for Solar to higher mass stars.

THE MASS DISTRIBUTION OF STELLAR-MASS BLACK HOLES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and five high-mass, wind-fed X-ray binary systems. Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo calculations, we model the mass distribution both parametrically---as a power law, exponential,

From Starspots to Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections—Revisiting Empirical Stellar Relations [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract Upcoming missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope, will soon characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial-type exoplanets in habitable zones around cool K- and M-type stars by searching for atmospheric biosignatures. Recent observations suggest that the ionizing radiation and particle environment from active cool planet

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the relationship between environment, morphology, and the star formation rate (SFR)–stellar mass relation derived from a sample of star-forming (SF) galaxies (commonly referred to as the “star formation main sequence”, SFMS) in the COSMOS ...

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Dependence of halo occupation on stellar mass [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we study the stellar-mass dependence of galaxy clustering in the 6dF Galaxy Survey. The near-infrared selection of 6dFGS allows more reliable stellar mass estimates compared to optical bands used in other galaxy surveys.
