Modeling Rotation in the Old, Cold Domain: Implications on Gyrochronology and the Stellar Magnetic Wind
Amanda L. Ash, Yuxi, Lu +1
Gyrochronology ties stellar rotation periods to ages. It is well studied in the young, open cluster age domain, but there are few constraints on gyrochronology in the old field sta…
Host--Non-host Differences in Stellar Chemistry, Activity, and Birth Radius: Hints of Distinct Formation Environments for Earth-like Planets and Sub-Neptunes
Xunzhou Chen, Tiancheng Sun, Yuxi +3
Host-star properties provide important clues to planet formation and evolution, yet it remains unclear whether the observed differences between planet-hosting stars and stars witho…
They Won't Be Giants: Missing Metal-Rich RGB Stars in Gaia Data Indicate Truncated Stellar Evolution
Yuxi Lu, Madeline Howell, Marc H. Pinsonneault +3
We investigate the population of luminous red giant branch stars as a function of metallicity using Gaia XP metallicity combined with SDSS-V, GALAH, and LAMOST. After applying unif…
Ensemble Kinematic Ages for 1.5 Million LAMOST Stars
Yuxi Lu, Marc H. Pinsonneault
We present a framework for inferring stellar ages from spectroscopic stellar parameters, calibrated with ensemble kinematics by averaging over the median vertical action, , fo…
Insights into the Exoplanet Radius Valley from Host-Star Ages, Activity, Chemistry, and Birth Radius
Xunzhou Chen, Tiancheng Sun, Yuxi +3
The radius valley, a bimodal feature in the size distribution of close-in small exoplanets, is widely interpreted as a signature of atmospheric loss and therefore provides a key co…
[C/N] Ages and Extra-Mixing for [Fe/H] <- 0.5: Insights from the LMC and SMC
Yuxi Lu, John D. Roberts, Joshua T. Povick +4
The [C/N]-age relation has become a powerful tool for reconstructing the formation history of the Milky Way (MW), providing the largest age sample for field giant stars. However, a…
