The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Radial Velocity Variability in Dwarf Carbon Stars

Benjamin R. Roulston, Paul J. Green, John J. Ruan +6

Dwarf carbon (dC) stars, main sequence stars showing carbon molecular bands, were initially thought to be an oxymoron since only AGB stars dredge carbon into their atmospheres. Mas…

Imaging the disc rim and a moving close-in companion candidate in the pre-transitional disc of V1247 Orionis

Matthew Willson, Stefan Kraus, Jacques Kluska +17

V1247 Orionis harbours a pre-transitional disc with a partially cleared gap. Earlier interferometric and polarimetric observations revealed strong asymmetries both in the gap regio…

Radii of 88 M Subdwarfs and Updated Radius Relations for Low-Metallicity M Dwarf Stars

Aurora Y. Kesseli, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Sergio B. Fajardo-Acosta +9

M subdwarfs are low-metallicity M dwarfs that typically inhabit the halo population of the Galaxy. Metallicity controls the opacity of stellar atmospheres; in metal poor stars, hyd…

A transitional disk around an intermediate mass star in the sparse population of the Orion OB1 Association

Alice Pérez-Blanco, Karina Maucó, Jesús Hernández +8

We present a detailed study of the disk around the intermediate mass star SO 411, aiming to explain the spectral energy distribution of this star. We show that this is a transition…

Globally Distributed Energetic Neutral Atom Maps for the "Croissant" Heliosphere

Marc Kornbleuth, Merav Opher, Adam T. Michael +1

A recent study by Opher et al. (2015) suggested the heliosphere has a "croissant" shape, where the heliosheath plasma is confined by the toroidal solar magnetic field. The "croissa…

Multiple rings in the transitional disk of GM Aurigae revealed by VLA and ALMA

Enrique Macias, Catherine C. Espaillat, Alvaro Ribas +6

Our understanding of protoplanetary disks is rapidly departing from the classical view of a smooth, axisymmetric disk. This is in part thanks to the high angular resolution that (s…

Long-lived protoplanetary disks in multiple systems: the VLA view of HD 98800

Álvaro Ribas, Enrique Macías, Catherine C. Espaillat +1

The conditions and evolution of protoplanetary disks in multiple systems can be considerably different from those around single stars, which may have important consequences for pla…

Chemo-kinematic ages of eccentric-planet-hosting M dwarf stars

Mark J. Veyette, Philip S. Muirhead

M dwarf stars are exciting targets for exoplanet investigations; however, their fundamental stellar properties are difficult to measure. Perhaps the most challenging property to me…

Herschel Observations of Protoplanetary Disks in Lynds 1641

Sierra L. Grant, Catherine C. Espaillat, S. Thomas Megeath +7

We analyze Herschel Space Observatory observations of 104 young stellar objects with protoplanetary disks in the ~1.5 Myr star-forming region Lynds 1641 (L1641) within the Orion A…

The CIDA Variability Survey of Orion OB1 II: demographics of the young, low-mass stellar populations

Cesar Briceno, Nuria Calvet, Jesus Hernandez +11

We present results of our large scale, optical, multi-epoch photometric survey of ~180 square degrees across the Orion OB1 association, complemented with extensive follow up spectr…

Solar ultraviolet bursts

Peter R. Young, Hui Tian, Hardi Peter +16

The term "ultraviolet (UV) burst" is introduced to describe small, intense, transient brightenings in ultraviolet images of solar active regions. We inventorize their properties an…

A Cavity of Large Grains in the Disk Around the Group II Herbig Ae/Be Star HD 142666

Adam E. Rubinstein, Enrique Macias, Catherine C. Espaillat +3

Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars have been classified into Group I or Group II, which were initially thought to be flared and flat disks, respectively. Several Group I sources have been…

Herschel PACS observations of 4-10 Myr old Classical T Tauri stars in Orion OB1

Karina Maucó, César Briceño, Nuria Calvet +12

We present \emph{Herschel} PACS observations of 8 Classical T Tauri Stars in the Myr old OB1a and the Myr old OB1b Orion sub-asscociations. Detailed modeling…

Magnetic Inflation and Stellar Mass II: On the Radii of Single, Rapidly Rotating, Fully Convective M Dwarf Stars

Aurora Y. Kesseli, Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew W. Mann +1

Main sequence, fully-convective M dwarfs in eclipsing binaries are observed to be larger than stellar evolutionary models predict by as much as . A proposed explanation fo…

Proper Motion of the Faint Star near KIC 8462852 (Boyajian's Star) - Not a Binary System

Dan P. Clemens, Kush Maheshwari, Rosha Jagani +4

A faint star located 2 arcsec from KIC 8462852 was discovered in Keck 10 m adaptive optics imaging in the near-infrared (NIR) in 2014 by Boyajian et al. (2016). The closeness…

LHS 1610A: A Nearby Mid-M Dwarf with a Companion That is Likely A Brown Dwarf

Jennifer G. Winters, Jonathan Irwin, Elisabeth R. Newton +7

We present the spectroscopic orbit of LHS 1610A, a newly discovered single-lined spectroscopic binary with a trigonometric distance placing it at 9.9 pm 0.2 pc. We obtained spectra…
