Toward a VLBI resolution of the Pleiades distance controversy
Carl Melis, M. J. Reid, A. J. Mioduszewski +2
The Pleiades is the best studied open cluster in the sky. It is one of the primary open clusters used to define the `zero-age main sequence,' and hence it serves as a cornerstone f…
Detection of Radio Emission from the Hyperactive L Dwarf 2MASS J13153094-2649513AB
Adam J. Burgasser, Carl Melis, B. Ashley Zauderer +1
We report the detection of radio emission from the unusually active L5e + T7 binary 2MASS J13153094-2649513AB made with the Australian Telescope Compact Array. Observations at 5.5…
Identifying Nearby, Young, Late-type Stars by Means of Their Circumstellar Disks
Adam Schneider, Inseok Song, Carl Melis +2
It has recently been shown that a significant fraction of late-type members of nearby, very young associations (age <10 Myr) display excess emission at mid-IR wavelengths indicativ…
Rapid disappearance of a warm, dusty circumstellar disk
Carl Melis, B. Zuckerman, Joseph H. Rhee +3
Stars form with gaseous and dusty circumstellar envelopes, which rapidly settle into disks that eventually give rise to planetary systems. Understanding the process by which these…
TW Hya Association Membership and New WISE-detected Circumstellar Disks
Adam Schneider, Carl Melis, Inseok Song
We assess the current membership of the nearby, young TW Hydrae Association and examine newly proposed members with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to search for inf…
Stellar Membership and Dusty Debris Disks in the alpha Persei Cluster
B. Zuckerman, Carl Melis, Joseph H. Rhee +2
Because of proximity to the Galactic plane, reliable identification of members of the alpha Persei cluster is often problematic. Based primarily on membership evaluations contained…
