Saturation of the magnetorotational instability in the unstratified shearing box with zero net flux: convergence in taller boxes
Ji-Ming Shi, James M. Stone, Chelsea X. Huang
Previous studies of the nonlinear regime of the magnetorotational instability in one particular type of shearing box model -- unstratified with no net magnetic flux -- find that wi…
Tests of the planetary hypothesis for PTFO 8-8695b
Liang Yu, Joshua N. Winn, Michaël Gillon +16
The T Tauri star PTFO 8-8695 exhibits periodic fading events that have been interpreted as the transits of a giant planet on a precessing orbit. Here we present three tests of the…
On the IMF in a Triggered Star Formation Context
Tingtao Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang, D. N. C. Lin +2
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental issue in the theory of star formation. It is generally fit with a composite power law. Some clues on the prog…
High Precision Photometry for K2 Campaign 1
Chelsea X. Huang, K. Penev, J. D. Hartman +4
The two reaction wheel K2 mission promises and has delivered new discoveries in the stellar and exoplanet fields. However, due to the loss of accurate pointing, it also brings new…
The Age and Age Spread of the Praesepe and Hyades Clusters: a Consistent, ~800 Myr Picture from Rotating Stellar Models
Timothy D. Brandt, Chelsea X. Huang
We fit the upper main sequence of the Praesepe and Hyades open clusters using stellar models with and without rotation. When neglecting rotation, we find that no single isochrone c…
Rotating Stellar Models Can Account for the Extended Main Sequence Turnoffs in Intermediate Age Clusters
Timothy D. Brandt, Chelsea X. Huang
We show that the extended main sequence turnoffs seen in intermediate age Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) clusters, often attributed to age spreads of several hundred Myr, may be easi…
Bayesian Ages for Early-Type Stars from Isochrones Including Rotation, and a Possible Old Age for the Hyades
Timothy D. Brandt, Chelsea X. Huang
We combine recently computed models of stellar evolution using a new treatment of rotation with a Bayesian statistical framework to constrain the ages and other properties of early…
