The Volans-Carina association An X-ray Bridge Between Younger and Older Stellar Populations

Daniela Muñoz-Giraldo, Beate Stelzer, Alex Binks +3

Nearby young moving groups (NYMGs) provide benchmarks for studying the evolution of magnetic activity and planetary environments at early ages. The Volans-Carina association (VCA),…

A long-duration superflare on the K giant HD 251108

Hans Moritz Günther, Dheeraj Pasham, Alexander Binks +10

Many giant stars are magnetically active, which causes rotational variability, chromospheric emission lines, and X-ray emission. Large outbursts in these emission features can set…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Constraining evolutionary models and ages for young low mass stars with measurements of lithium depletion and rotation

A. S. Binks, R. D. Jeffries, G. G. Sacco +13

A growing disquiet has emerged in recent years that standard stellar models are at odds with observations of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and lithium depletion patterns of…

The Gaia-ESO survey: Mixing processes in low-mass stars traced by lithium abundance in cluster and field stars

L. Magrini, N. Lagarde, C. Charbonnel +42

We aim to constrain the mixing processes in low-mass stars by investigating the behaviour of the Li surface abundance after the main sequence. We take advantage of the data from th…

A kinematically hot population of young stars in the solar neighbourhood

A. S. Binks, R. D. Jeffries, N. J. Wright

In the last three decades several hundred nearby members of young stellar moving groups (MGs) have been identified, but there has been less systematic effort to quantify or charact…

A kinematically unbiased, all-sky search for nearby, young, low-mass stars

Alexander S. Binks, Matthieu Chalifour, Joel H. Kastner +6

The past two decades have seen dramatic progress in our knowledge of the population of young stars of age Myr that lie within pc of the Sun. These nearby, young sta…
