Global Trends of CME Deflections Based on CME and Solar Parameters

C. Kay, M. Opher, R. M. Evans

Accurate space weather forecasting requires knowledge of the trajectory of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), including any deflections close to the Sun or through interplanetary space…

Warm Dust around Cool Stars: Field M Dwarfs with WISE 12 or 22 Micron Excess Emission

Christopher A. Theissen, Andrew A. West

Using the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic catalog, we searched the WISE AllWISE catalog to investigate the occurrence of warm dust, as inferred from IR excesses, around field M dwarfs (dMs)…

SpeX Spectroscopy of Unresolved Very Low Mass Binaries. II. Identification of Fourteen Candidate Binaries with Late-M/Early-L and T Dwarf Components

Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, Adam J. Burgasser, Christopher R. Gelino +7

Multiplicity is a key statistic for understanding the formation of very low mass (VLM) stars and brown dwarfs. Currently, the separation distribution of VLM binaries remains poorly…

A spectroscopic census in young stellar regions: the Sigma Orionis cluster

Jesús Hernández, Nuria Calvet, Alice Perez +7

We present a spectroscopic survey of the stellar population of the Sigma Orionis cluster. We have obtained spectral types for 340 stars. Spectroscopic data for spectral typing come…
