A Test of FeH Line Parameters using DR19 APOGEE spectra of Benchmark M Dwarfs

Anderson Silva-Andrade, Diogo Souto, Katia Cunha +9

Recent studies have suggested a mismatch of up to 0.20 dex between iron abundances derived from Fe I and FeH lines in the H-band spectra of M dwarfs, and in this work we investigat…

A Probabilistic Framework for Population Studies of the Solar Neighborhood: Application to SDSS-V and Gaia

Ilija Medan, Keivan G. Stassun, Zachary Way +8

Studies of the Solar Neighborhood require spectroscopic follow-up of stars identified in astrometric surveys to fully characterize their physical properties. The SDSS-V Solar Neigh…

BOSS-CLAM: Utilizing a Constrained Linear Absorption Model to Infer Stellar Parameters from BOSS Spectra

Ilija Medan, Andrew R. Casey, Alexander P. Ji +13

Large spectroscopic surveys require robust pipelines capable of inferring stellar parameters over a wide range of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram from data of varying quality.…

Probabilistic neural network approach to determining parameters of eclipsing binaries

Marina Kounkel, Logan Sizemore, Hidemi Mitani Shen +7

Eclipsing binaries provide one of the most direct mechanisms for measuring stellar properties such as mass and radius, but historically, determining these properties has been non-t…

21,864 Unresolved, Low-mass Binaries Identified via their Overluminosity in \textit{Gaia} DR3 and a Catalog of 347,440 Systems within 100 pc of the Sun

Zachary Way, Sébastien Lépine, Jonathan Gagné +1

The fundamental parameters of a low-mass star can potentially be determined from its photometry and astrometry. This is complicated by the fact that 10-20 percent of low-mass stars…

Stellar Parameters of BOSS M dwarfs in SDSS-V DR19

Dan Qiu, Jennifer A. Johnson, Chao Liu +15

We utilized the Stellar LAbel Machine (SLAM), a data-driven model based on Support Vector Regression, to derive stellar parameters ([Fe/H], , and ) for SDSS-V…

The Importance of Standardizing Spectra in the Era of Large Spectroscopic Surveys: A Case Study of M Dwarfs in SDSS-V

Ilija Medan, Zachary Way, Bárbara Rojas-Ayala +8

SDSS-V will obtain 100,000s of medium-resolution, optical spectra of M dwarfs with the BOSS instrument. M dwarfs have complex atmospheres, and their spectra contain many wide and d…

Resolving the Unresolved: Using NESSI to Search for Unresolved Companions in Low-mass Disk Wide Binaries

Zachary D. Hartman, Gerard van Belle, Sébastien Lépine +2

Stellar systems consisting of three or more stars are not an uncommon occurrence in the Galaxy. Nearly 50% of solar-type wide binaries with separations >1000 au are actually higher…

Detecting New Visual Binaries in Gaia DR3 with Gaia and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Photometry II. Speckle Observations of 16 Low-Separation Systems

Ilija Medan, Sébastien Lépine, Zachary Hartman +1

Here we present speckle observations of 16 low-separation ( AU) high probability candidate binaries from the catalog by Medan et al., where secondaries typically lack astrome…

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…

Vetting the Lobster Diagram: Searching for Unseen Companions in Wide Binaries using NASA Space Exoplanet Missions

Zachary Hartman, Sébastien Lépine, Ilija Medan

Over the past decade, the number of known wide binary systems has exponentially expanded thanks to the release of data from the Gaia Mission. Some of these wide binary systems are…

Bayesian Cross-Matching of High Proper Motion Stars in Gaia DR2 and Photometric Metallicities for 1.7 million K and M Dwarfs

Ilija Medan, Sébastien Lépine, Zachary Hartman

We present a Bayesian method to cross-match 5,827,988 high proper motion Gaia sources () to various photometric surveys: 2MASS, AllWISE, GALEX, RAVE, SDSS and…

A Catalog of 531 White Dwarf Candidates in the Local Galactic Halo from Gaia Data Release 2

Bokyoung Kim, Sebastien Lépine, Ilija Medan

We present a catalog of 531 white dwarf candidates that have large apparent transverse motions relative to the Sun ( km s), thus making them likely members of t…
