Best practices in software citation

Phil R. Van-Lane, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Daniel S. Katz +11

Software is both a foundational tool and a primary output of modern computational research, yet citation practices for software remain inconsistent, incomplete, and rarely machine-…

A Practical Primer on Software Citation in Research

Floor S. Broekgaarden, Phil R. Van-Lane, Sasha Levina +9

Software underlies virtually all modern research, yet citation practices for software remain inconsistent and often inadequate. This short primer offers practical guidance in two d…

Open Clusters as Laboratories for Cool Star Evolution: Highlights from the Cool Stars 23 Splinter Session

Deepak Chahal, Beatrice Caccherano, Edward Gillen +16

Open clusters remain among the most powerful laboratories for calibrating how fundamental stellar properties such as rotation, magnetic activity, surface chemistry, and internal st…

EncoTESS: Age-Sensitive Encodings from Raw TESS Light Curves

Phil R. Van-Lane, Joshua S. Speagle, Ryan Cloutier +3

Main sequence stars of spectral types late F through M exhibit systematic variability in photometric light curves, particularly when they are young. Rotational modulation of starsp…

Anchoring Stellar Age Indicators: A Cross-Calibration of [C/N] and Gyrochronology Ages via the Age-Velocity-Dispersion Relation

Yuxi Lu, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Yuan-Sen Ting +4

Determining stellar ages is challenging, as it depends on other stellar parameters in a non-linear way and often relies on stellar evolution models to infer the underlying relation…

ChronoFlow: A Data-Driven Model for Gyrochronology

Phil R. Van-Lane, Joshua S. Speagle, Gwendolyn M. Eadie +6

Gyrochronology is a technique for constraining stellar ages using rotation periods, which change over a star's main sequence lifetime due to magnetic braking. This technique shows…

A Novel Application of Conditional Normalizing Flows: Stellar Age Inference with Gyrochronology

Phil Van-Lane, Joshua S. Speagle, Stephanie Douglas

Stellar ages are critical building blocks of evolutionary models, but challenging to measure for low mass main sequence stars. An unexplored solution in this regime is the applicat…
