The Occurrence Rate of Nearby Planetary Companions to Hot Jupiters

Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +33

Of the > 500 confirmed transiting hot jupiters and approximately 2000 additional candidates today, only ten are known to have nearby companion planets. The survival of nearby compa…

The magnetic and spin-down properties of slowly rotating fully convective M dwarfs

Victor See, Louis Amard, Stefano Bellotti +19

The evolution of the magnetism, winds and rotation of low-mass stars are all linked. One of the most common ways to probe the magnetic properties of low-mass stars is with the Zeem…

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations

Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale +31

AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present th…

Planets around young active Solar-type stars: Assessing detection capabilities from a non stabilised spectrograph

A. Heitzmann, S. C. Marsden, P. Petit +8

Short-orbit gas giant planet formation/evolution mechanisms are still not well understood. One promising pathway to discriminate between mechanisms is to constrain the occurrence r…

Do non-dipolar magnetic fields contribute to spin-down torques?

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Adam J. Finley +14

Main sequence low-mass stars are known to spin-down as a consequence of their magnetised stellar winds. However, estimating the precise rate of this spin-down is an open problem. T…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME): A planet in the 45 Myr Tucana-Horologium association

Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew W. Mann, Benjamin M. Tofflemire +49

Young exoplanets are snapshots of the planetary evolution process. Planets that orbit stars in young associations are particularly important because the age of the planetary system…

Estimating magnetic filling factors from Zeeman-Doppler magnetograms

Victor See, Sean P. Matt, Colin P. Folsom +15

Low-mass stars are known to have magnetic fields that are believed to be of dynamo origin. Two complementary techniques are principally used to characterise them. Zeeman-Doppler im…

Studying stellar spin-down with Zeeman-Doppler magnetograms

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +11

Magnetic activity and rotation are known to be intimately linked for low-mass stars. Understanding rotation evolution over the stellar lifetime is therefore an important goal withi…

The connection between stellar activity cycles and magnetic field topology

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +14

Zeeman Doppler imaging has successfully mapped the large-scale magnetic fields of stars over a large range of spectral types, rotation periods and ages. When observed over multiple…

The energy budget of stellar magnetic fields

V. See, M. Jardine, A. A. Vidotto +15

Spectropolarimetric observations have been used to map stellar magnetic fields, many of which display strong bands of azimuthal fields that are toroidal. A number of explanations h…

Doppler images and the underlying dynamo. The case of AF Leporis

S. P. Järvinen, R. Arlt, T. Hackman +6

The (Zeeman-)Doppler imaging studies of solar-type stars very often reveal large high-latitude spots. This also includes F stars that possess relatively shallow convection zones, i…

Stellar magnetism: empirical trends with age and rotation

A. A. Vidotto, S. G. Gregory, M. Jardine +12

We investigate how the observed large-scale surface magnetic fields of low-mass stars (~0.1 -- 2 Msun), reconstructed through Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI), vary with age t, rotatio…
