Refined Metallicity Indices for M Dwarfs Using the SLoWPoKES Catalog of Wide, Low-mass Binaries

Saurav Dhital, Andrew A. West, Keivan G. Stassun +3

We report the results from spectroscopic observations of 113 ultra-wide, low-mass binary systems, composed largely of M0--M3 dwarfs, from the SLoWPoKES catalog of common proper mot…

Hα Emission Variability in Active M Dwarfs

Keaton J. Bell, Eric J. Hilton, James R. A. Davenport +3

We use ~12,000 spectra of ~3,500 magnetically active M0-M9 dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey taken at 10-15 minute intervals, together with ~300 spectra of ~60 M0-M8 stars o…

CARMA Survey Toward Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies (STING) II: Molecular Gas Star Formation Law and Depletion Time Across the Blue Sequence

Nurur Rahman, Alberto D. Bolatto, Rui Xue +10

We present an analysis of the relationship between molecular gas and current star formation rate surface density at sub-kpc and kpc scales in a sample of 14 nearby star-forming gal…

FIRE Spectroscopy of the ultra-cool brown dwarf, UGPS J072227.51-054031.2: Kinematics, Rotation and Atmospheric Parameters

John J. Bochanski, Adam J. Burgasser, Robert A. Simcoe +1

We present λ/Δλ ~ 6000 near-infrared spectroscopy of the nearby T9 dwarf, UGPS J072227.51-054031.2, obtained during the commissioning of the Folded-Port Infrared Echellette Spectro…

The Formation of Kiloparsec-Scale HI Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

Steven R. Warren, Daniel R. Weisz, Evan D. Skillman +10

The origin of kpc-scale holes in the atomic hydrogen (H I) distributions of some nearby dwarf irregular galaxies presents an intriguing problem. Star formation histories (SFHs) der…

Debris disks as signposts of terrestrial planet formation

Sean N. Raymond, Philip J. Armitage, Amaya Moro-Martín +6

Circumstantial evidence suggests that most known extra-solar planetary systems are survivors of violent dynamical instabilities. Here we explore how giant planet instabilities affe…
