Filling the Gap: Calibrating Gyrochronology at 1.3 Gyr with the Benchmark Cluster NGC-752
Andrew W. Boyle, Andrew W. Mann
Empirical gyrochronology relies on co-eval stellar associations to map stellar rotation as a function of mass and age. The accuracy of its age predictions is therefore limited by t…
Stellar Obliquities of Young Systems, Atmospheres Undergoing Contraction and Escape (SOYSAUCE) II: a 135 Myr planet on an aligned orbit with transit timing variations
Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Sydney Vach +16
Young planets (<1 Gyr) provide opportunities to directly probe planet formation and evolution processes in action. However, due to heightened stellar activity, there is a lack of k…
Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population
George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17
The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…
The TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey: Periods for 1,046,317 Stars Within 500 pc
Andrew W. Boyle, Luke G. Bouma, Andrew W. Mann
Stellar rotation is a fundamental tracer of stellar magnetic evolution, age, and activity, with broad implications for Galactic archaeology and exoplanet characterization. The Tran…
A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy
John H. Livingston, Erik A. Petigura, Trevor J. David +39
The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than the…
Lost Sisters Found: TESS and Gaia Reveal a Dissolving Pleiades Complex
Andrew W. Boyle, Luke G. Bouma, Andrew W. Mann
Most star clusters dissolve into the Galaxy over tens to hundreds of millions of years after they form. While recent Gaia studies have honed our view of cluster dispersal, the exac…
