[C/N] Ages and Extra-Mixing for [Fe/H] <- 0.5: Insights from the LMC and SMC
Yuxi Lu, John D. Roberts, Joshua T. Povick +4
The [C/N]-age relation has become a powerful tool for reconstructing the formation history of the Milky Way (MW), providing the largest age sample for field giant stars. However, a…
Checking It Twice: Using [C/N]-Masses and Asteroseismic Masses as a Diagnostic of Mass Loss and Transfer on the RGB
John D. Roberts, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Jennifer A. Johnson +1
The surface [C/N] of red giants is correlated with birth mass, but not directly impacted by mass loss. Exploiting this, we compare asteroseismic masses of red giants with the same…
Untangling the Sources of Abundance Dispersion in Low-metallicity Stars II: Neutron Capture Elements
Emily J. Griffith, Marissa Blum, David H. Weinberg +4
We present the abundances of 23 elements, including 11 heavy elements (Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu) for up to 86 metal-poor (-2 < [Fe/H] < -1) subgiants. We use KORG,…
Spectroscopic Follow-up of Young High- Dwarf Star Candidates: Still Likely Genuinely Young
Yuxi Lu, Catherine Manea, Maryum Sayeed +9
The question of whether genuinely young high- stars exist has been discussed for over a decade since their discovery from asteroseismology of giant stars as it is challenging t…
The Multiband Imaging Survey for High-Alpha PlanetS (MISHAPS) I: Preliminary Constraints on the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters in 47 Tucanae
Alison L. Crisp, Jonas Klüter, Marz L. Newman +14
The first generation of transiting planet searches in globular clusters yielded no detections, and in hindsight, only placed occurrence rate limits slightly higher than the measure…
A Data-Driven M Dwarf Model and Detailed Abundances for 17,000 M Dwarfs in SDSS-V
Aida Behmard, Melissa K. Ness, Andrew R. Casey +6
The cool temperatures of M dwarf atmospheres enable complex molecular chemistry, making robust characterization of M dwarf compositions a long-standing challenge. Recent modificati…
