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…

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…

Using Neural Network Models to Estimate Stellar Ages from Lithium Equivalent Widths: An EAGLES Expansion

George Weaver, Robin D. Jeffries, Richard J. Jackson

We present an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model of photospheric lithium depletion in cool stars (3000 < Teff / K < 6500), producing estimates and probability distributions of a…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: 3D dynamics of young groups and clusters from GES and Gaia EDR3

Nicholas J. Wright, R. D. Jeffries, R. J. Jackson +9

We present the first large-scale 3D kinematic study of ~2000 spectroscopically-confirmed young stars (<20 Myr) in 18 star clusters and OB associations (hereafter groups) from the c…

A revised age greater than 50 Myr for the young cluster IC 4665

R. D. Jeffries, R. J. Jackson, A. S. Binks

IC 4665 is one of only a dozen young open clusters with a ``lithium depletion boundary" (LDB) age. Using an astrometrically and spectroscopically filtered sample of cluster members…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical estimates of stellar ages from lithium equivalent widths (EAGLES)

R. D. Jeffries, R. J. Jackson, Nicholas J. Wright +17

We present an empirical model of age-dependent photospheric lithium depletion, calibrated using a large, homogeneously-analysed sample of 6200 stars in 52 open clusters, with ages…
