Detectability of Rotational Modulation in Kepler Sun-like Stars as a Function of Age
Kento Masuda
We examine how the fraction of stars for which rotational modulation has been detected in Kepler light curves depends on the stellar mass and age . Our sampl…
On the Evolution of Rotational Modulation Amplitude in Solar-mass Main-sequence Stars
Kento Masuda
We investigate the relation between rotation periods and photometric modulation amplitudes for Sun-like main-sequence stars observ…
Inferring the Rotation Period Distribution of Stars from their Projected Rotation Velocities and Radii: Application to late-F/early-G Kepler Stars
Kento Masuda, Erik A. Petigura, Oliver J. Hall
While stellar rotation periods may be measured from broadband photometry, the photometric modulation becomes harder to detect for slower rotators, which could bias…
Tidal Effects on the Radial Velocities of V723 Mon: Additional Evidence for a Dark Companion
Kento Masuda, Teruyuki Hirano
Jayasinghe et al. (2021) identified a dark companion on a nearly edge-on orbit around the red giant star V723 Monoceros as a black h…
Four New Self-lensing Binaries from Kepler: Radial Velocity Characterization and Astrophysical Implications
Kento Masuda, Hajime Kawahara, David W. Latham +5
In Kawahara et al. (2018) and Masuda et al. (2019), we reported the discovery of four self-lensing binaries consisting of F/G-type stars and (most likely) white dwarfs whose masses…
Self-lensing Discovery of a White Dwarf in an Unusually Wide Orbit Around a Sun-like Star
Kento Masuda, Hajime Kawahara, David W. Latham +4
We report the discovery of the fifth self-lensing binary in which a low-mass white dwarf (WD) gravitationally magnifies its 15th magnitude G-star companion, KIC 8145411, during ecl…
