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,

Detection of a High-velocity Prominence Eruption Leading to a CME Associated with a Superflare on the RS CVn-type Star V1355 Orionis

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have recently received much attention for their impacts on exoplanets and stellar evolution. Detecting prominence eruptions, the initial phase of CMEs, as the blueshifted excess component of Balmer lines is a ...

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.

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

Scaling Relations for Solar-Like Oscillations: A Review

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
The scaling relations for solar-like oscillations provide a translation of the features of the stochastic low-degree modes of oscillation in the Sun to predict the features of solar-like oscillations in other stars with convective outer layers.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Model: Dust-to-metal Ratio of H ii Regions

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Using a sample of face-on star-forming galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we statistically derive the typical optical depth τ _cl of individual H ii regions based on the “Chocolate Chip Cookie” model of Lu et al. (2022).

The Stellar Mass Components of Galaxies: Comparing Semi-Analytical Models with Observation [PDF]

, 2010
We compare the stellar masses of central and satellite galaxies predicted by three independent semianalytical models with observational results obtained from a large galaxy group catalogue constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

Clustering properties of galaxies selected in stellar mass: Breaking down the link between luminous and dark matter in massive galaxies from z=0 to z=2 [PDF]

, 2010
We present a study on the clustering of a stellar mass selected sample of 18,482 galaxies with stellar masses M*>10^10M(sun) at redshifts 0 ...

Evolution of the Stellar Mass--Metallicity Relation - I: Galaxies in the z~0.4 Cluster Cl0024 [PDF]

, 2018
We present the stellar mass-stellar metallicity relationship (MZR) in the Cl0024+1654 galaxy cluster at z~0.4 using full spectrum stellar population synthesis modeling of individual quiescent galaxies. The lower limit of our stellar mass range is $M_*=10^

The “Building Blocks” of Stellar Halos

Galaxies, 2017
The stellar halos of galaxies encode their accretion histories. In particular, the median metallicity of a halo is determined primarily by the mass of the most massive accreted object.
