A kinematic calibration of the O-rich Mira variable period-age relation from Gaia
Hanyuan Zhang, Jason L. Sanders
Empirical and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the periods of Mira variable stars are related to their ages. This, together with their brightness in the infrared, makes t…
Information content of BP/RP spectra in Gaia DR3
Callum E. C. Witten, David S. Aguado, Jason L. Sanders +6
Gaia Data Release 3 has provided the astronomical community with the largest stellar spectroscopic survey to date ( 220 million sources). The low resolution (R50) blue pho…
Variable star classification across the Galactic bulge and disc with the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey
Thomas A. Molnar, Jason L. Sanders, Leigh C. Smith +3
We present VIVACE, the VIrac VAriable Classification Ensemble, a catalogue of variable stars extracted from an automated classification pipeline for the Vista Variables in the Vía…
VVV-WIT-08: the giant star that blinked
Leigh C. Smith, Sergey E. Koposov, Philip W. Lucas +11
We report the serendipitous discovery of a late-type giant star that exhibited a smooth, eclipse-like drop in flux to a depth of 97 per cent. Minimum flux occurred in April 2012 an…
Lessons from the curious case of the `fastest' star in Gaia DR2
Douglas Boubert, Jay Strader, David Aguado +6
Gaia DR2 5932173855446728064 was recently proposed to be unbound from the Milky Way based on the median radial velocity given in Gaia D…
Climbing the cosmic ladder with stellar twins in RAVE with Gaia
P. Jofre, G. Traven, K. Hawkins +17
We apply the twin method to determine parallaxes to 232,545 stars of the RAVE survey using the parallaxes of Gaia DR1 as a reference. To search for twins in this large dataset, we…
The RAVE-on catalog of stellar atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances for chemo-dynamic studies in the Gaia era
Andrew R. Casey, Keith Hawkins, David W. Hogg +24
The orbits, atmospheric parameters, chemical abundances, and ages of individual stars in the Milky Way provide the most comprehensive illustration of galaxy formation available. Th…
