rrlfe: Software for Generating and Applying Metallicity Calibrations for RR Lyrae Variable Stars Across a Wide Range of Phases and Temperatures

Eckhart Spalding, Ronald Wilhelm, Nathan De Lee +7

RR Lyrae stars play a central role in tracing phase-space structures within the Milky Way because they are easy to identify, are relatively luminous, and are found in large numbers…

Detecting New Visual Binaries in Gaia DR3 with Gaia and 2MASS Photometry I. New Candidate Binaries Within 200 pc of the Sun

Ilija Medan, Sébastien Lépine

We present a method to identify likely visual binaries in Gaia eDR3 that does not rely on parallax or proper motion. This method utilizes the various PSF sizes of 2MASS/Gaia, where…

Asteroseismology and Spectropolarimetry of the Exoplanet Host Star Serpentis

Travis S. Metcalfe, Derek Buzasi, Daniel Huber +31

The bright star Ser hosts a hot Neptune with a minimum mass of 13.6 and a 15.5 day orbit. It also appears to be a solar analog, with a mean rotation period of 25.8 d…

A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star

Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39

When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…

Constraints on star formation in Orion A from Gaia

Jairo A. Alzate, Gustavo Bruzual, Marina Kounkel +4

We develop statistical methods within a Bayesian framework to infer the star formation history from photometric surveys of pre-main sequence populations. Our procedures include cor…

Stellar Characterization and Radius Inflation of Hyades M Dwarf Stars From the APOGEE Survey

Fábio Wanderley, Katia Cunha, Diogo Souto +23

We present a spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 48 M dwarf stars () from the Hyades open cluster using high-resolution H-band spectra from the…

An Eclipsing Binary Comprising Two Active Red Stragglers of Identical Mass and Synchronized Rotation: A Post-Mass-Transfer System or Just Born That Way?

Keivan G. Stassun, Guillermo Torres, Marina Kounkel +7

We report the discovery of 2M0056-08 as an equal-mass eclipsing binary (EB), comprising two red straggler stars (RSSs) with an orbital period of 33.9 d. Both stars have masses of 1…

Constraints on Magnetic Braking from the G8 Dwarf Stars 61 UMa and Cet

Travis S. Metcalfe, Klaus G. Strassmeier, Ilya V. Ilyin +11

During the first half of their main-sequence lifetimes, stars rapidly lose angular momentum to their magnetized winds, a process known as magnetic braking. Recent observations sugg…

Measurement of the angular momenta of pre-main-sequence stars: early evolution of slow and fast rotators and empirical constraints on spin-down torque mechanisms

Marina Kounkel, Keivan G. Stassun, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +3

We use TESS full-frame imaging data to investigate the angular momentum evolution of young stars in Orion Complex. We confirm recent findings that stars with rotation periods faste…

Characterization of low-mass companions to objects of interest observed with APOGEE-N

Caleb I. Cañas, Chad F. Bender, Suvrath Mahadevan +12

We report the characterization of 28 low-mass () companions to objects of interest (KOIs), eight…

TESS Asteroseismic Analysis of HD 76920: The Giant Star Hosting An Extremely Eccentric Exoplanet

Chen Jiang, Tao Wu, Adina D. Feinstein +30

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission searches for new exoplanets. The observing strategy of TESS results in high-precision photometry of millions of stars acros…

Young stellar objects, accretion disks, and their variability with Rubin Observatory LSST

R. Bonito, L. Venuti, S. Ustamujic +14

Vera C. Rubin Observatory, through the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will allow us to derive a panchromatic view of variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) across all…
