Using Magnetic Activity and Galactic Dynamics to Constrain the Ages of M Dwarfs

Andrew A. West, Suzanne L. Hawley, John J. Bochanski +2

We present a study of the dynamics and magnetic activity of M dwarfs using the largest spectroscopic sample of low-mass stars ever assembled. The age at which strong surface magnet…

Chi Values for Blue Emission Lines in M Dwarfs

Andrew A. West, Suzanne L. Hawley

We compute chi values for blue emission lines in active M dwarfs. Using flux-calibrated spectra from nearby M dwarfs and spectral M dwarf templates from SDSS, we derive analytic re…

A First Look at Rotation in Inactive Late-Type M Dwarfs

Andrew A. West, Gibor Basri

We have examined the relationship between rotation and activity in 14 late-type (M6-M7) M dwarfs, using high resolution spectra taken at the W.M. Keck Observatory and flux-calibrat…

Galaxies appear simpler than expected

M. J. Disney, J. D. Romano, D. A. Garcia-Appadoo +3

Galaxies are complex systems the evolution of which apparently results from the interplay of dynamics, star formation, chemical enrichment, and feedback from supernova explosions a…

The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey VII: A Neutral Hydrogen Cloud Complex in the Virgo Cluster

Brian R. Kent, Kristine Spekkens, Riccardo Giovanelli +5

We present observations of an HI cloud complex most likely located in the Virgo galaxy cluster, first reported by Kent et al. (2007). The complex consists of five clouds, detected…
