An Educational Guide for 2D Stellar Structure Calculations of Rapidly Rotating Stars using the ESTER code
Russel White, Jane Pratt, Michel Rieutord
The Evolution STEllaire en Rotation (ESTER) code is the first 2D stellar structure code to be made open-source and freely available to the astronomy and astrophysics community. An…
The Kraft Break Sharply Divides Low Mass and Intermediate Mass Stars
Alexa C. Beyer, Russel J. White
Main sequence stars transition at mid-F spectral types from slowly rotating (cooler stars) to rapidly rotating (hotter stars), a transition known as the Kraft Break (Kraft 1967) an…
Retrieval of Precise Radial Velocities from Near-Infrared High Resolution Spectra of Low Mass Stars
Peter Gao, Peter Plavchan, Jonathan Gagné +21
Given that low-mass stars have intrinsically low luminosities at optical wavelengths and a propensity for stellar activity, it is advantageous for radial velocity (RV) surveys of t…
The Ages of A-Stars I: Interferometric Observations and Age Estimates for Stars in the Ursa Major Moving Group
Jeremy Jones, R. J. White, T. Boyajian +12
We have observed and spatially resolved a set of seven A-type stars in the nearby Ursa Major moving group with the Classic, CLIMB, and PAVO beam combiners on the CHARA Array. At le…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation I: Absorption Gas Cells
Peter P. Plavchan, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Russel White +18
We have built and commissioned gas absorption cells for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared in the H and K bands. We describe the construction…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation II: Non-Circular Core Fiber Scrambler
Peter P. Plavchan, Michael Bottom, Peter Gao +18
We have built and commissioned a prototype agitated non-circular core fiber scrambler for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared H band. We have…
Discovery of seven T Tauri stars and a brown dwarf candidate in the nearby TW Hydrae Association
R. A. Webb, B. Zuckerman, I. Platais +4
We report the discovery of five T Tauri star systems, two of which are resolved binaries, in the vicinity of the nearest known region of recent star formation, the TW Hydrae Associ…
