Lithium-rich M-dwarfs at the ZAMS: Evidence for planetary engulfment?
R. D. Jeffries, R. J. Jackson, I. Baraffe
We identify 6 early M-dwarfs, in 3 open clusters (NGC 2451a, Blanco 1 and NGC 2516) at ages of 50-200 Myr, that are anomalously enriched in lithium compared with Li-depleted siblin…
3D Rotation of the Open Cluster NGC 2516
Nicholas J. Wright, R. D. Jeffries, M. A. Whalley
We have combined Gaia astrometry with Gaia-ESO Survey radial velocities to measure the 3D rotation of the open cluster NGC 2516. We compiled a sample of 376 members with astrometry…
Investigating the Upper Scorpius OB association with HERMES. I. The spectroscopic sample and 6D kinematics
Joseph J. Armstrong, Jonathan C. Tan, Nicholas J. Wright +5
We present results from a large spectroscopic survey of the nearest young association to the Sun, Upper Scorpius, conducted using 2dF/HERMES on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We u…
The growth of a lithium abundance dispersion in pre main sequence stars
R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, E. Tognelli
Lithium is predicted, and observed, to be depleted in contracting, low-mass pre main sequence (PMS) stars. Yet these stars reach the zero age main sequence (ZAMS) with a spread in…
