Establishing the accuracy of asteroseismic mass and radius estimates of giant stars III. KIC4054905, an eclipsing binary with two 10 Gyr thick disk RGB stars
K. Brogaard, T. Arentoft, D. Slumstrup +16
Eclipsing binary stars with an oscillating giant component allow accurate stellar parameters to be derived and asteroseismic methods to be tested and calibrated. To this aim, suita…
Beating stellar systematic error floors using transit-based densities
Jason D. Eastman, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Jamie Tayar
It has long been understood that the light curve of a transiting planet constrains the density of its host star. That fact is routinely used to improve measurements of the stellar…
Spinning up the Surface: Evidence for Planetary Engulfment or Unexpected Angular Momentum Transport?
Jamie Tayar, Facundo D. Moyano, Melinda Soares-Furtado +15
In this paper, we report the potential detection of a nonmonotonic radial rotation profile in a low-mass lower-luminosity giant star. For most low- and intermediate-mass stars, the…
Cannibals in the thick disk II -- Radial-velocity monitoring of the young alpha-rich stars
P. Jofre, A. Jorissen, C. Aguilera-Gomez +6
Determining ages of stars for reconstructing the history of the Milky Way remains one of the most difficult tasks in astrophysics. This involves knowing when it is possible to rela…
Gender Disparity in Publishing Six Months after the KITP Workshop "Probes of Transport in Stars"
Meridith Joyce, Jamie Tayar, Daniel Lecoanet
Conferences and workshops shape scientific discourse. The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) hosts long-term workshops to stimulate scientific collaboration that would…
Is Thermohaline Mixing the Full Story? Evidence for Separate Mixing Events near the Red Giant Branch Bump
Jamie Tayar, Meridith Joyce
The abundances of mixing--sensitive elements including lithium, [C/N], and 12C/13C are known to change near the red giant branch bump. The explanation most often offered for these…
Characterizing Observed Extra Mixing Trends in Red Giants using the Reduced Density Ratio from Thermohaline Models
Adrian E. Fraser, Meridith Joyce, Evan H. Anders +2
Observations show an almost ubiquitous presence of extra mixing in low-mass upper giant branch stars. The most commonly invoked explanation for this is thermohaline mixing. One-dim…
Rotation Distributions around the Kraft Break with TESS and Kepler: The Influences of Age, Metallicity, and Binarity
Ellis A. Avallone, Jamie N. Tayar, Jennifer L. van Saders +6
Stellar rotation is a complex function of mass, metallicity, and age and can be altered by binarity. To understand the importance of these parameters in main sequence stars, we hav…
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: VII. APOGEE DR17 [C/N]-Age Calibration
Taylor Spoo, Jamie Tayar, Peter M. Frinchaboy +11
Large scale surveys open the possibility to investigate Galactic evolution both chemically and kinematically, however, reliable stellar ages remain a major challenge. Detailed chem…
The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data
Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337
This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…
The "Giraffe": Discovery of a stripped red giant in an interacting binary with a lower giant
T. Jayasinghe, Todd A. Thompson, C. S. Kochanek +13
We report the discovery of a stripped giant + lower giant binary, 2M04123153+6738486 (2M0412), identified during a search for non-interacting compact object-star binaries. 2M0412 i…
