Astrophysical Properties of 600 Bona Fide Single Stars in the Hyades Open Cluster

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The determination of the astrophysical properties of stars remains challenging and frequently relies on the application of stellar models. Stellar sequences in nearby open clusters provide some of the best means to test and calibrate stellar evolutionary

The True Nature of the Brightest Local Triple Stellar Candidates within 100 pc in the Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present a study of a sample of bright ( V ≤ 10 mag) and close ( d ≤ 100 pc) triple–stellar system candidates in the galaxy, consisting of eight systems in total.

Three-dimensional Simulations of Massive Stars. II. Age Dependence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present 3D full star simulations, reaching up to 90% of the total stellar radius, for three 7 M _⊙ stars of different ages: zero-age main sequence (ZAMS), mid–main sequence (midMS), and terminal-age main sequence (TAMS).

Decoding Galactic Merger Histories

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Galaxy mergers are expected to influence galaxy properties, yet measurements of individual merger histories are lacking. Models predict that merger histories can be measured using stellar halos and that these halos can be quantified using observations of

Variability of Known Exoplanet Host Stars Observed by TESS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding ...

Chaotic Dynamics of Stellar Spin in Binaries and the Production of Misaligned Hot Jupiters

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Motivated by observed hot Jupiter systems with high stellar obliquities, we examine the dynamics of stellar spin in planetary systems with distant stellar companions, with inclinations sufficiently high so that the planet undergoes Kozai-Lidov ...

Seismic inference of 57 stars using full-length Kepler data sets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
We present stellar properties of 57 stars from a seismic inference using full-length data sets from Kepler (mass, age, radius, distances). These stars comprise active stars, planet-hosts, solar-analogs, and binary systems.

Reconstructing Intrinsic Stellar Noise with Stellar Atmospheric Parameters and Chromospheric Activity

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Accurately characterizing the intrinsic stellar photometric noise induced by stellar astrophysics, such as stellar activity, granulation, and oscillations, is of crucial importance for detecting transiting exoplanets.

New Theoretical Instability Regions, Period–Luminosity Relations, and Masses for Blue Large-amplitude Pulsators

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are a recently discovered group of hot pulsating stars whose evolutionary status remains uncertain. Their proposed progenitors are either ≃0.3 M _⊙ shell H-burning stars or ≃1.0 M _⊙ core He-burning stars, both ...

Metallicities and Refined Stellar Parameters for 52 Cool Dwarfs with Transiting Planets and Planet Candidates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We collected near-infrared spectra of 65 cool stars with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility and analyzed them to calculate accurate metallicities and stellar parameters.
