Rotation in the Pleiades With K2: III. Speculations on Origins and Evolution
J. R. Stauffer, L. M. Rebull, J. Bouvier +15
We use high quality K2 light curves for hundreds of stars in the Pleiades to understand better the angular momentum evolution and magnetic dynamos of young, low mass stars. The K2…
Rotation in the Pleiades with K2: I. Data and First Results
L. M. Rebull, J. R. Stauffer, J. Bouvier +16
Young (125 Myr), populous (1000 members), and relatively nearby, the Pleiades has provided an anchor for stellar angular momentum models for both younger and older stars. We use…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: SIRTF Legacy Science in the VLT Era
M. R. Meyer, D. Backman, S. V. W. Beckwith +20
We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at (1) defining the timescales ov…
Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: Upper Limits the Gas Mass in HD105
D. Hollenbach, U. Gorti, M. Meyer +13
We report infrared spectroscopic observations of HD 105, a nearby ( pc) and relatively young ( Myr) G0 star with excess infrared continuum emission, which has bee…
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: On-Orbit Instrument Performance
S. Osterman, J. Green, C. Froning +31
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May, 2009 as part of Servicing Mission 4 to provide high sensitivity, medium and low resolution…
