Disk-locking Regulates Stellar Rotation in Young Clusters: Insights from NGC 2264

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Many young clusters possess extended main sequences, a phenomenon commonly ascribed to stellar rotation. However, the mechanism behind their very wide stellar rotation distributions remains unclear.

Learning about the latitudinal distribution of starspots through the periodogram analysis of photometric data

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Starspots are cooler and darker than the stellar surface. Therefore, the emitted flux of a star changes when spots are visible on its surface. The presence of spots together with the stellar rotation leads to a periodic modulation on the light curve.

Meta-analysis of Photometric and Asteroseismic Measurements of Stellar Rotation Periods: The Lomb–Scargle Periodogram, Autocorrelation Function, and Wavelet and Rotational Splitting Analysis for 92 Kepler Asteroseismic Targets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
We perform intensity variability analyses (photometric analyses: the Lomb–Scargle periodogram, autocorrelation, and wavelet) and asteroseismic analysis of 92 Kepler solar-like main-sequence stars to understand the reliability of the measured stellar ...

A study of central galaxy rotation with stellar mass and environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
© 2017. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. We present a pilot analysis of the influence of galaxy stellar mass and cluster environment on the probability of slow rotation in 22 central galaxies at mean redshift z = 0.07.

TRAF2 binds to TIFA via a novel motif and contributes to its autophagic degradation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TRAF family members couple receptor signalling complexes to downstream outputs, but how they interact with these complexes is not always clear. Here, we show that during ADP‐heptose signalling, TRAF2 binding to TIFA requires two short sequence motifs in the C‐terminal tail of TIFA, which are distinct from the TRAF6 binding motif.

The Evolution of Stellar X-Ray Activity and Angular Momentum as Seen by eROSITA, TESS, and Gaia

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We have assembled a sample of ∼8200 stars with spectral types F5V–M5V, all having directly measured X-ray luminosities from eROSITA and rotation periods from TESS and having empirically estimated ages via their membership in stellar clusters and groups ...

Effect of stellar rotation on oscillation frequencies [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 2010
We investigate whether the rotational splittings of β Cephei stars can give some clue about the existence of a differential rotation in latitude, and if they are contaminated by the cubic order effects of rotation on oscillation frequencies. We also study some properties of splitting asymmetries and axisymmetric mode frequencies which provide seismic ...

Polar branches of stellar activity waves: dynamo models and observations

open access: yes, 2011
[Abridged abstract:] Stellar activity data provide evidence of activity wave branches propagating polewards rather than equatorwards (the solar case). Stellar dynamo theory allows polewards propagating dynamo waves for certain governing parameters.

Determination of the position angle of stellar spin axes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Measuring the stellar position angle provides valuable information on binary stellar formation or stellar spin axis evolution. We aim to develop a method for determining the absolute stellar position angle using spectro-astrometric analysis of high ...
