EXPRES. III. Revealing the Stellar Activity Radial Velocity Signature of Eridani with Photometry and Interferometry

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, Samuel H. C. Cabot, Debra A. Fischer +20

The distortions of absorption line profiles caused by photospheric brightness variations on the surfaces of cool, main-sequence stars can mimic or overwhelm radial velocity (RV) sh…

No Sun-like dynamo on the active star Andromedae from starspot asymmetry

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Heidi Korhonen +12

Sunspots are cool areas caused by strong surface magnetic fields inhibiting convection. Moreover, strong magnetic fields can alter the average atmospheric structure, degrading our…

KOI-1003: A new spotted, eclipsing RS CVn binary in the Kepler field

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, Stephen R. Kane, John D. Monnier +1

Using the high-precision photometry from the Kepler space telescope, thousands of stars with stellar and planetary companions have been observed. The characterization of stars with…

Detecting the Companions and Ellipsoidal Variations of RS CVn Primaries: II. omicron Draconis, a Candidate for Recent Low-Mass Companion Ingestion

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Francis C. Fekel +14

To measure the stellar and orbital properties of the metal-poor RS CVn binary o Draconis (o Dra), we directly detect the companion using interferometric observations obtained with…

Imaging starspot evolution on Kepler target KIC 5110407 using light curve inversion

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Robert O. Harmon +2

The Kepler target KIC 5110407, a K-type star, shows strong quasi-periodic light curve fluctuations likely arising from the formation and decay of spots on the stellar surface rotat…

A Study of Differential Rotation on II Pegasi via Photometric Starspot Imaging

Rachael M. Roettenbacher, Robert O. Harmon, Nalin Vutisalchavakul +1

We present the results of a study of differential rotation on the K2 IV primary of the RS CVn binary II Pegasi (HD 224085) performed by inverting light curves to produce images of…
