Rotation Periods of Wide Binaries in the Kepler Field

K. A. Janes

In a search of proper motion catalogs for common proper motion stars in the field of the Kepler spacecraft I identified 93 likely binary systems. A comparison of their rotation per…

1.3mm polarized emission in the circumstellar disk of a massive protostar

M. Fernández-López, I. W. Stephens, J. M. Girart +5

We present the first resolved observations of the 1.3mm polarized emission from the disk-like structure surrounding the high-mass protostar Cepheus A HW2. These CARMA data partiall…

The link between solenoidal turbulence and slow star formation in G0.253+0.016

C. Federrath, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +8

Star formation in the Galactic disc is primarily controlled by gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. It is not clear that this also applies to star formation near the Galactic…

M Dwarf Activity in the Pan-STARRS 1 Medium-Deep Survey: First Catalog and Rotation Periods

Erin Kado-Fong, Peter K. G. Williams, Andrew W. Mann +9

We report on an ongoing project to investigate activity in the M dwarf stellar population observed by the Pan-STARRS 1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1-MDS). Using a custom-built pipeline,…

DM Ori: A Young Star Occulted by a Disturbance in its Protoplanetary Disk

Joseph E. Rodriguez, Keivan G. Stassun, Phillip Cargile +15

In some planet formation theories, protoplanets grow gravitationally within a young star's protoplanetary disk, a signature of which may be a localized disturbance in the disk's ra…

Imaging the photoevaporating disk and radio jet of GM Aur

Enrique Macias, Guillem Anglada, Mayra Osorio +8

Photoevaporation is probably the main agent for gas dispersal during the last stages of protoplanetary disk evolution. However, the overall mass loss rate in the photoevaporative w…

A Model for (Quasi-)Periodic Multi-wavelength Photometric Variability in Young Stellar Objects

Aurora Y. Kesseli, Maya A. Petkova, Kenneth Wood +7

We present radiation transfer models of rotating young stellar objects (YSOs) with hotspots in their atmospheres, inner disk warps and other 3-D effects in the nearby circumstellar…

Using ForeCAT Deflections and Rotations to Constrain the Early Evolution of CMEs

C. Kay, M. Opher, R. C. Colaninno +1

To accurately predict the space weather effects of coronal mass ejection (CME) impacts at Earth one must know if and when a CME will impact Earth, and the CME parameters upon impac…

The physical mechanism behind M dwarf metallicity indicators and the role of C and O abundances

Mark J. Veyette, Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew W. Mann +1

We present NIR synthetic spectra based on PHOENIX stellar atmosphere models of typical early and mid M dwarfs with varied C and O abundances. We apply multiple recently published m…

The putative old, nearby cluster Lodén 1 does not exist

Eunkyu Han, Jason L. Curtis, Jason T. Wright

Astronomers have access to precious few nearby, middle-aged benchmark star clusters. Within 500 pc, there are only NGC 752 and Ruprecht 147 (R147), at 1.5 and 3 Gyr respectively. T…

Probability of CME Impact on Exoplanets Orbiting M Dwarfs and Solar-Like Stars

C. Kay, M. Opher, M. Kornbleuth

Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) produce adverse space weather effects at Earth. Planets in the close habitable zone of magnetically active M dwarfs may experience more extreme…

Using Close White Dwarf + M Dwarf Stellar Pairs to Constrain the Flare Rates in Close Stellar Binaries

Dylan P. Morgan, Andrew A. West, Andrew C. Becker

We present a study of the statistical flare rates of M dwarfs (dMs) with close white dwarf (WD) companions (WD+dM; typical separations < 1 au). Our previous analysis demonstrated t…

Constraining the properties of transitional disks in Chamaeleon I with Herschel

Á. Ribas, H. Bouy, B. Merín +4

Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks with opacity gaps/cavities in their dust distribution, a feature that may be linked to planet formation. We perform Bayesian modeling of…
