Classification of field dwarfs and giants in RAVE and its use in stellar stream detection

Rainer J. Klement, Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones, Burkhard Fuchs +2

An efficient separation between dwarfs and giants in surveys of bright stars is important, especially for studies in which distances are estimated through photometric parallax rela…

Photometric identification of blue horizontal branch stars

Kester W. Smith, Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones, Rainer J. Klement +1

We investigate the performance of some common machine learning techniques in identifying BHB stars from photometric data. To train the machine learning algorithms, we use previousl…

The enigmatic pair of dwarf galaxies Leo IV and Leo V: coincidence or common origin?

Jelte T. A. de Jong, Nicolas F. Martin, Hans-Walter Rix +3

We have obtained deep photometry in two 1x1 degree fields covering the close pair of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) Leo IV and Leo V and part of the area in between. We find that…

Discovery of an Extraordinarily Massive Cluster of Red Supergiants

Donald F. Figer, John MacKenty, Massimo Robberto +4

We report the discovery of an extraordinarily massive young cluster of stars in the Galaxy, having an inferred total initial cluster mass comparable to the most massive young clust…

Flares observed with XMM-Newton and the VLA

K. W. Smith, M. Guedel, M. Audard

We present lightcurves obtained in X-ray by the XMM-Newton EPIC cameras and simultaneous radio lightcurves obtained with the VLA for five active M-type flare stars. A number of fla…

High-Energy Processes in Young Stars: Chandra X-ray Spectroscopy of HDE 283572, RY Tau, and LkCa 21

Marc Audard, Stephen L. Skinner, Kester W. Smith +2

Weak-lined T Tauri stars (WTTS) represent the important stage of stellar evolution between the accretion phase and the zero-age main sequence. At this stage, the star decouples fro…
