Dissecting the Gaia HR diagram II. The vertical structure of the star formation history across the Solar Cylinder

Alessandro Mazzi, Léo Girardi, Michele Trabucchi +11

Starting from the Gaia DR3 HR diagram, we derive the star formation history (SFH) as a function of distance from the Galactic Plane within a cylinder centred on the Sun with a 200~…

Warm Jupiters Beyond the Tidal Synchronization Limit May Exhibit a Wide Range of Secondary Eclipse Depths

Emily Rauscher, Nicolas B. Cowan, Rodrigo Luger

With JWST we can now characterize the atmospheres of planets on longer orbital planets, but this moves us into a regime where we cannot assume that tidal forces from the star have…

Flaring Latitudes in Ensembles of Low Mass Stars

Ekaterina Ilin, Ruth Angus, Rodrigo Luger +2

The distribution of small-scale magnetic fields in stellar photospheres is an important ingredient in our understanding of the magnetism of low mass stars. Their spatial distributi…

The Pale Green Dot: A Method to Characterize Proxima Centauri b using Exo-Aurorae

Rodrigo Luger, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, David P. Fleming +5

We examine the feasibility of detecting auroral emission from the potentially habitable exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. Detection of aurorae would yield an independent confirmation o…

EVEREST: Pixel Level Decorrelation of K2 Light curves

Rodrigo Luger, Eric Agol, Ethan Kruse +4

We present EVEREST, an open-source pipeline for removing instrumental noise from K2 light curves. EVEREST employs a variant of pixel level decorrelation (PLD) to remove systematics…

Habitable Evaporated Cores: Transforming Mini-Neptunes into Super-Earths in the Habitable Zones of M Dwarfs

Rodrigo Luger, Rory Barnes, Eric Lopez +3

We show that photoevaporation of small gaseous exoplanets ("mini-Neptunes") in the habitable zones of M dwarfs can remove several Earth masses of hydrogen and helium from these pla…
