The influence of metallicity on stellar differential rotation and magnetic activity

Christoffer Karoff, Travis S. Metcalfe, Angela R. G. Santos +20

Observations of Sun-like stars over the last half-century have improved our understanding of how magnetic dynamos, like that responsible for the 11-year solar cycle, change with ro…

Chromospheric Activity of HAT-P-11: an Unusually Active Planet-Hosting K Star

Brett M. Morris, Suzanne L. Hawley, Leslie Hebb +6

Kepler photometry of the hot Neptune host star HAT-P-11 suggests that its spot latitude distribution is comparable to the Sun's near solar maximum. We search for evidence of an act…

The Multiplicity of M-Dwarfs in Young Moving Groups

Yutong Shan, Jennifer C. Yee, Brendan P. Bowler +11

We image 104 newly identified low-mass (mostly M-dwarf) pre-main sequence members of nearby young moving groups with Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) and identify 27 binaries with…

Long Term Photometric Variability in Kepler Full Frame Images: Magnetic Cycles of Sun-Like Stars

Benjamin T. Montet, Guadalupe Tovar, Daniel Foreman-Mackey

Photometry from the Kepler mission is optimized to detect small, short duration signals like planet transits at the expense of long-term trends. This long-term variability can be r…

SET-E: The Search for Extraterrestrial Environmentalism

Benjamin Montet, Ryan Loomis

There is currently no evidence for life on any known exoplanet. Here, we propose a form of "galactic anthropology" to detect not only the existence of life on transiting exoplanets…

Benchmark Transiting Brown Dwarf LHS 6343 C: Spitzer Secondary Eclipse Observations Yield Brightness Temperature and mid-T Spectral Class

Benjamin T. Montet, John Asher Johnson, Jonathan J. Fortney +1

There are no field brown dwarf analogs with measured masses, radii, and luminosities, precluding our ability to connect the population of transiting brown dwarfs with measurable ma…
