K 1-6 is a photoionised ISM nebula shaped by a fast-moving hot white dwarf in a triple system
Jaroslav Merc, David Jones, Ana Escorza +22
The study shows that nebula K 1‑6 is not a planetary nebula but interstellar gas photoionised by an evolved hot white dwarf, and that its central star is a hierarchical triple syst…
Hints of enhanced magnetic activity after the intermediate rotation period gap as traced by the chromospheric Ca ii infrared triplet
Diego Godoy-Rivera, Savita Mathur, Tyler Richey-Yowell +5
For low-mass stars (M < 1.4 Msun), the connection between stellar rotation and magnetic activity governs stellar spin-down, shapes the environments of their exoplanets, and provide…
Stellar nucleosynthesis in the era of large surveys: S-process polluted binaries in GALAH DR4
A. Escorza, S. Vitali, D. Godoy-Rivera +11
Binary interactions during the AGB phase can lead to the formation of chemically peculiar stars with overabundances of s-process elements. Only a few hundreds of these stars have b…
Characterizing six seismic solar analogs observed by Kepler, K2, and HERMES
R. A. GarcÃa, S. Mathur, G. T. Hookway +31
Solar analogs, stars that closely match the fundamental properties of the Sun, provide key benchmarks for testing stellar structure and evolution across different ages and activity…
Mining the Kepler Field: Atmospheric Parameters, Bolometric Corrections, and Luminosities
Diego Godoy-Rivera, Desmond H. Grossmann, Tyler Richey-Yowell +3
The ~ 200,000 stars observed by the Kepler mission have provided unprecedented constraints across astrophysics. With the advent of modern spectroscopic and photometric surveys, new…
Dynamical mass of a solar-like oscillator at the main-sequence turnoff from Gaia astrometry & ground-based spectroscopy
P. G. Beck, T. Masseron, K. Pavlovski +11
Asteroseismology is widely used for precise determining of masses of solar-like oscillating stars by performing individual-frequency modeling or applying homological scaling relati…
