The Factory and the Beehive. V. Chromospheric and Coronal Activity and Its Dependence on Rotation in Praesepe and the Hyades

Alejandro Núñez, M. A. Agüeros, J. L. Curtis +6

Low-mass (< 1.2 Solar mass) main-sequence stars lose angular momentum over time, leading to a decrease in their magnetic activity. The details of this rotation-activity relation re…

A Novel Application of Conditional Normalizing Flows: Stellar Age Inference with Gyrochronology

Phil Van-Lane, Joshua S. Speagle, Stephanie Douglas

Stellar ages are critical building blocks of evolutionary models, but challenging to measure for low mass main sequence stars. An unexplored solution in this regime is the applicat…

Contemporaneous Observations of Luminosities and Photometric Amplitudes for M Dwarfs

Aylin García Soto, Elisabeth R. Newton, Stephanie T. Douglas +2

While many M dwarfs are known to have strong magnetic fields and high levels of magnetic activity, we are still unsure about the properties of their starspots and the origin of the…

HAZMAT. VIII. A Spectroscopic Analysis of the Ultraviolet Evolution of K Stars: Additional Evidence for K Dwarf Rotational Stalling in the First Gigayear

Tyler Richey-Yowell, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, R. O. Parke Loyd +7

Efforts to discover and characterize habitable zone planets have primarily focused on Sun-like stars and M dwarfs. K stars, however, provide an appealing compromise between these t…

Bayesian Solar Wind Modeling with Pulsar Timing Arrays

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Joseph Simon, Dustin R. Madison +27

Using Bayesian analyses we study the solar electron density with the NANOGrav 11-year pulsar timing array (PTA) dataset. Our model of the solar wind is incorporated into a global f…

Three K2 Campaigns Yield Rotation Periods for 1013 Stars in Praesepe

Rayna Rampalli, Marcel A. Agüeros, Jason L. Curtis +8

We use three campaigns of K2 observations to complete the census of rotation in low-mass members of the benchmark, 670-Myr-old open cluster Praesepe. We measure new rotati…

MESA models with magnetic braking

Seth Gossage, Aaron Dotter, Cecilia Garraffo +3

Two magnetic braking models are implemented in MESA for use in the MIST stellar model grids. Stars less than about 1.3 are observed to spin down over time through inter…

Testing Theories of Gravitation Using 21-Year Timing of Pulsar Binary J1713+0747

W. W. Zhu, I. H. Stairs, P. B. Demorest +17

We report 21-yr timing of one of the most precise pulsars: PSR J1713+0747. Its pulse times of arrival are well modeled by a comprehensive pulsar binary model including its three-di…
