A Test of Substellar Evolutionary Models with High-Precision Ages from Asteroseismology and Gyrochronology for the Benchmark System HR 7672AB

Yaguang Li, Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy +35

We present high-precision measurements for HR~7672AB, composed of a Sun-like (G0V) star and an L~dwarf companion. Three nights of precise (70 cm/s) radial velocity (RV) asteroseism…

CoronaGraph Instrument Reference stars for Exoplanets (CorGI-REx) I. Preliminary Vetting and Implications for the Roman Coronagraph and Habitable Worlds Observatory

Justin Hom, Schuyler G. Wolff, Catherine A. Clark +28

The upcoming Roman Coronagraph will be the first high-contrast instrument in space capable of high-order wavefront sensing and control technologies, a critical technology demonstra…

The highest mass Kepler red giants -- II. Spectroscopic parameters, the amplitude-activity relation, and unexpected halo orbits

Courtney L. Crawford, Yaguang Li, Daniel Huber +11

The high-mass (M2 \Msolar{}) Kepler red giant stars are less well-studied than their lower-mass counterparts. In the previous article, we presented a sample of 48 high-mass Kepl…

The California Legacy Survey V. Chromospheric Activity Cycles in Main Sequence Stars

Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard, Benjamin Fulton +31

We present optical spectroscopy of 710 solar neighborhood stars collected over twenty years to catalog chromospheric activity and search for stellar activity cycles. The California…

A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star

Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39

When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…

A White-light Flare Powered by Magnetic Reconnection in the Lower Solar Atmosphere

Yongliang Song, Hui Tian, Xiaoshuai Zhu +3

White-light flares (WLFs), first observed in 1859, refer to a type of solar flares showing an obvious enhancement of the visible continuum emission. This type of enhancement often…

Dark structures in sunspot light bridges

Jingwen Zhang, Hui Tian, Sami K. Solanki +8

We present unprecedented high-resolution TiO images and Fe I 1565 nm spectropolarimetric data of two light bridges taken by the 1.6-m Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observ…

Diagnosing the magnetic field structure of a coronal cavity observed during the 2017 total solar eclipse

Yajie Chen, Hui Tian, Yingna Su +11

We present an investigation of a coronal cavity observed above the western limb in the coronal red line Fe X 6374 Å using a telescope of Peking University and in the green line Fe…

Frequently Occurring Reconnection Jets from Sunspot Light Bridges

Hui Tian, Vasyl Yurchyshyn, Hardi Peter +12

Solid evidence of magnetic reconnection is rarely reported within sunspots, the darkest regions with the strongest magnetic fields and lowest temperatures in the solar atmosphere.…

Two Solar Tornadoes Observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph

Zihao Yang, Hui Tian, Hardi Peter +4

The barbs or legs of some prominences show an apparent motion of rotation, which are often termed solar tornadoes. It is under debate whether the apparent motion is a real rotating…

Surge-like oscillations above sunspot light bridges driven by magnetoacoustic shocks

Jingwen Zhang, Hui Tian, Jiansen He +1

High-resolution observations of the solar chromosphere and transition region often reveal surge-like oscillatory activities above sunspot light bridges. These oscillations are ofte…
