Pushing the Limit of Asteroseismic Detection for Cool Dwarfs using TESS and Deep Learning

Waly M Z Karim, Rocio Kiman, Derek Buzasi +6

Asteroseismology provides a powerful probe of stellar interiors by detecting stellar oscillations, including solar-like oscillations, which are stochastically excited by near-surfa…

Understanding the Drag Torque in Common Envelope Evolution

Soumik Bhattacharyya, Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman +2

Common envelope (CE) evolution is largely governed by the drag torque applied on the in-spiralling stellar components by the envelope. Previous work has shown that idealized models…

Tidally Delayed Spin-Down of Very Low Mass Stars

Ketevan Kotorashvili, Eric G. Blackman

Very low-mass main-sequence stars reveal some curious trends in observed rotation period distributions that require abating the spin-down that standard rotational evolution models…

Constraints on the (re-)orientation of star-disk systems through infall

M. Kuffmeier, J. E. Pineda, D. Segura-Cox +1

It has been consensus that star-disk systems accrete most of their mass and angular momentum during the collapse of a prestellar core, such that the rotational direction of a syste…

JWST detections of amorphous and crystalline HDO ice toward massive protostars

Katerina Slavicinska, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Łukasz Tychoniec +19

This work aims to utilize the increased sensitivity and resolution of the JWST to quantify the HDO/HO ratio in ices toward young stellar objects (YSOs) and to determine if th…

Why the observed spin evolution of older-than-solar like stars might not require a dynamo mode change

Ketevan Kotorashvili, Eric G. Blackman, James E. Owen

The spin evolution of main sequence stars has long been of interest for basic stellar evolution, stellar aging, stellar activity, and consequent influence on companion planets. Obs…

Pre-planetary nebulae: a context for principles, progress, and questions on how binaries and magnetic fields produce jets

Eric G. Blackman

Astrophysical outflows treated initially as spherically symmetric often show evidence for asymmetry once seen at higher resolution. The preponderance of aspherical and multipolar p…

Jets from main sequence and white dwarf companions during common envelope evolution

Yangyuxin Zou, Luke Chamandy, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback +2

It has long been speculated that jet feedback from accretion onto the companion during a common envelope (CE) event could affect the orbital evolution and envelope unbinding proces…

The Rate, Amplitude and Duration of Outbursts from Class 0 Protostars in Orion

W. Zakri, S. T. Megeath, W. J. Fischer +18

At least half of a protostar's mass is accreted in the Class 0 phase, when the central protostar is deeply embedded in a dense, infalling envelope. We present the first systematic…

New Clues to the Evolution of Dwarf Carbon Stars From Their Variability and X-ray Emission

Benjamin R. Roulston, Paul J. Green, Rodolfo Montez +6

As main-sequence stars with CO, dwarf carbon (dC) stars are never born alone but inherit carbon-enriched material from a former asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companion. In contr…

A search for transiting companions in the J1407 (V1400 Cen) system

S. Barmentloo, C. Dik, M. A. Kenworthy +5

In 2007, the young star 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6 (V1400 Cen) underwent a complex series of deep eclipses over 56 days. This was attributed to the transit of a ring system filling…

The Formation of Discs in the Interior of AGB Stars from the Tidal Disruption of Planets and Brown Dwarfs

Gabriel Guidarelli, Jason Nordhaus, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback +3

A significant fraction of isolated white dwarfs host magnetic fields in excess of a MegaGauss. Observations suggest that these fields originate in interacting binary systems where…

Successive common envelope events from multiple planets

Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman, Jason Nordhaus +1

Many stars harbour multi-planet systems. As these stars expand late in their evolutions, the innermost planet may be engulfed, leading to a common envelope (CE) event. Even if this…
