The Range of Cumulative XUV Flux on GJ 1132 b
Rory Barnes, Laura N. R. do Amaral, Jessica Birky +4
We investigate the plausible history of the XUV luminosity evolution of the planet-hosting M4 star GJ 1132 (~0.2 solar masses) to infer the cumulative incident XUV flux intercepted…
ALABI: Active Learning for Accelerated Bayesian Inference
Jessica Birky, Rory K. Barnes
We present Active Learning for Accelerated Bayesian Inference (\texttt{alabi}): an open-source Python package for performing Bayesian inference with computationally expensive model…
A whole-planet model of the Earth without life for terrestrial exoplanet studies
Samantha Gilbert-Janizek, Rory K. Barnes, Peter E. Driscoll +5
As the only known habitable (and inhabited) planet in the universe, Earth informs our search for life elsewhere. Future telescopes like the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will…
Automated Spectroscopic Wavelength Calibration using Dynamic Time Warping
James R. A. Davenport, Francisca Chabour Barra, K. Azalee Bostroem +14
Here we present an automated method for obtaining wavelength calibrations for one-dimensional spectra, using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). DTW is a flexible and well-understood algor…
Prospects of Constraining Equilibrium Tides in Low-Mass Binary Stars
Jessica Birky, Rory K. Barnes, James R. A. Davenport
The dynamical evolution of short-period low-mass binary stars (with mass , from formation to the late main-sequence, and with orbital periods less than 10 d…
Tidal Synchronization of TESS Eclipsing Binaries
Marshall Hobson-Ritz, Jessica Birky, Leah Peterson +7
Tidal synchronization plays a fundamental role in the evolution of binary star systems. However, key details such as the timescale of synchronization, efficiency of tidal dissipati…
History and Habitability of the LP 890-9 Planetary System
Rory Barnes, Laura N. R. do Amaral, Jessica Birky +42
We present numerous aspects of the evolution of the LP 890-9 (SPECULOOS-2/TOI-4306) planetary system, focusing on the likelihood that planet c can support life. We find that the ho…
The Implications of Thermal Hydrodynamic Atmospheric Escape on the TRAPPIST-1 Planets
Megan T. Gialluca, Rory Barnes, Victoria S. Meadows +3
JWST observations of the 7-planet TRAPPIST-1 system will provide an excellent opportunity to test outcomes of stellar-driven evolution of terrestrial planetary atmospheres, includi…
The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP). VI. Ultracool Dwarf Radial and Rotational Velocities from SDSS/APOGEE High-resolution Spectroscopy
Chih-Chun Hsu, Adam J. Burgasser, Christopher A. Theissen +11
We present precise measurements of radial (RV) and projected rotational () velocities, effective temperatures, and surface gravities of a sample of 258 M6 to L2 dwarfs wi…
The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP). V. Radial and Rotational Velocities of T Dwarfs from Keck/NIRSPEC High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Chih-Chun Hsu, Adam J. Burgasser, Christopher A. Theissen +7
We report multi-epoch radial velocities, rotational velocities, and atmospheric parameters for 37 T-type brown dwarfs observed with Keck/NIRSPEC. Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo f…
The Rise and Fall of the Eclipsing Binary HS Hydrae
James R. A. Davenport, Diana Windemuth, Karen Warmbein +3
HS Hydrae is a short period eclipsing binary (P_orb=1.57 day) that belongs to a rare group of systems observed to have rapidly changing inclinations. This evolution is due to a thi…
Improved Constraints for the XUV Luminosity Evolution of Trappist-1
Jessica Birky, Rory Barnes, David P. Fleming
We re-examine the XUV luminosity evolution of TRAPPIST-1 utilizing new observational constraints (XUV and bolometric luminosity) from multi-epoch X-ray/UV photometry. Following the…
TOI-1259Ab -- a gas giant planet with 2.7% deep transits and a bound white dwarf companion
David V. Martin, Kareem El-Badry, Vedad Kunovac Hodžić +33
We present TOI-1259Ab, a 1.0 Rjup gas giant planet transiting a 0.71 Rsun K-dwarf on a 3.48 day orbit. The system also contains a bound white dwarf companion TOI-1259B with a proje…
Temperatures and Metallicities of M dwarfs in the APOGEE Survey
Jessica Birky, David W. Hogg, Andrew W. Mann +1
M dwarfs have enormous potential for our understanding of structure and formation on both Galactic and exoplanetary scales through their properties and compositions. However, curre…
