There is No Place Like Home -- Finding Birth Radii of Stars in the Milky Way
Yuxi Lu, Ivan Minchev, Tobias Buck +6
Stars move away from their birthplaces over time via a process known as radial migration, which blurs chemo-kinematic relations used for reconstructing the Milky Way (MW) formation…
Bridging the gap -- the disappearance of the intermediate period gap for fully convective stars, uncovered by new ZTF rotation periods
Yuxi Lu, Jason L. Curtis, Ruth Angus +2
The intermediate period gap, discovered by Kepler, is an observed dearth of stellar rotation periods in the temperature-period diagram at 20 days for G dwarfs and up to $\si…
ET White Paper: To Find the First Earth 2.0
Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang +163
We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time,…
The 3D Galactocentric velocities of Kepler stars: marginalizing over missing RVs
Ruth Angus, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Joel C. Zinn +4
Precise Gaia measurements of positions, parallaxes, and proper motions provide an opportunity to calculate 3D positions and 2D velocities (i.e. 5D phase-space) of Milky Way stars.…
Reliability and limitations of inferring birth radii in the Milky Way disk
Yuxi Lu, Tobias Buck, Ivan Minchev +1
Recovering the birth radii of observed stars in the Milky Way is one of the ultimate goals of Galactic Archaeology. One method to infer the birth radius and the evolution of the IS…
Further Evidence of Modified Spin-down in Sun-like Stars: Pileups in the Temperature-Period Distribution
Trevor J. David, Ruth Angus, Jason L. Curtis +5
We combine stellar surface rotation periods determined from NASA's Kepler mission with spectroscopic temperatures to demonstrate the existence of pileups at the long-period and sho…
