- Description:
- Several nearby solar-type dwarfs with variable radial velocity were monitored to find their spectroscopic orbits. Orbital elements of HIP 179, 1989, 2981, 5276, 6439, 11218, 21443, 96434 are determined, as well as tentative orbits for HIP 28678 and 41214. We discuss each of those objects. Three of the four double-lined binaries are twins with nearly equal components. All four orbits with periods shorter than 10d are circular, the remaining orbits are eccentric.

- Description:
- We present a detailed and uniform study of oxygen abundance from two different oxygen lines at 6158{AA} and 6300{AA} in a large sample of solar-type stars. The results are used to check the behaviour of these spectral lines as oxygen abundance indicators and to study the evolution of oxygen in thick and thin disk populations of the Galaxy. Equivalent width measurements were carried out for the [OI]6158 and [OI]6300 lines. LTE abundances were obtained from these two lines in 610 and 535 stars, respectively. Careful error analysis has been performed.

- Description:
- We test four competing models that aim to explain the nature of stars in spiral galaxies that are well away (>1kpc) from the midplane, the so-called thick disk: the stars may have gotten there through orbital migration, through satellite mergers and accretion, or through heating of pre-existing thin disk stars. The eccentricity distribution of thick disk stars has recently been proposed as a diagnostic to differentiate between these mechanisms. Drawing on SDSS-DR7, we have assembled a sample of 31535 G-dwarfs with six-dimensional phase-space information and metallicities and have derived the orbital eccentricities for them.

- Oxygen abundances in nearby FGK stars

- J/ApJ/764/78
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Atmospheric parameters and oxygen abundances of 825 nearby FGK stars are derived using high-quality spectra and a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of the 777nm OI triplet lines. We assign a kinematic probability for the stars to be thin-disk (P_1_), thick-disk (P_2_), and halo (P_3_) members. We confirm previous findings of enhanced [O/Fe] in thick-disk (P_2_>0.5) relative to thin-disk (P_1_>0.5) stars with [Fe/H]<~-0.2, as well as a "knee" that connects the mean [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] trend of thick-disk stars with that of thin-disk members at [Fe/H]>~-0.2. Nevertheless, we find that the kinematic membership criterion fails at separating perfectly the stars in the [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane, even when a very restrictive kinematic separation is employed. Stars with "intermediate" kinematics (P_1_<0.7, P_2_<0.7) do not all populate the region of the [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane intermediate between the mean thin-disk and thick-disk trends, but their distribution is not necessarily bimodal. Halo stars (P_3_>0.5) show a large star-to-star scatter in [O/Fe]-[Fe/H], but most of it is due to stars with Galactocentric rotational velocity V<-200km/s; halo stars with V>-200km/s follow an [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation with almost no star-to-star scatter. Early mergers with satellite galaxies explain most of our observations, but the significant fraction of disk stars with "ambiguous" kinematics and abundances suggests that scattering by molecular clouds and radial migration have both played an important role in determining the kinematic and chemical properties of solar neighborhood stars.

- 25pc sample of Sun-like stars
- Short Name:

- Date:

- CDS
- Description:
- Sun-like stars have stellar, brown dwarf, and planetary companions. To help constrain their formation and migration scenarios, we analyze the close companions (orbital period<5yr) of nearby Sun-like stars. By using the same sample to extract the relative numbers of stellar, brown dwarf, and planetary companions, we verify the existence of a very dry brown dwarf desert and describe it quantitatively.

- Periodicity & magnitude of Kepler LCs variation
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/834/207
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The variation of a stellar light curve owing to rotational modulation by magnetic features (starspots and faculae) on the star's surface can be used to investigate the magnetic properties of the host star. In this paper, we use the periodicity and magnitude of the light-curve variation as two proxies to study the stellar magnetic properties for a large sample of G-type main sequence Kepler targets, for which the rotation periods were recently determined. By analyzing the correlation between the two magnetic proxies, it is found that: (1) the two proxies are positively correlated for most of the stars in our sample, and the percentages of negative, zero, and positive correlations are 4.27%, 6.81%, and 88.91%, respectively; (2) negative correlation stars cannot have a large magnitude of light-curve variation; and (3) with the increase of rotation period, the relative number of positive correlation stars decreases and the negative correlation one increases. These results indicate that stars with shorter rotation period tend to have positive correlation between the two proxies, and a good portion of the positive correlation stars have a larger magnitude of light-curve variation (and hence more intense magnetic activities) than negative correlation stars.

- Photometric & spectroscopic obs. of TOI-954 and K2-329
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two short-period Saturn-mass planets, one transiting the G subgiant TOI-954 (TIC44792534, V=10.343, T=9.78) observed in TESS sectors 4 and 5 and one transiting the G dwarf K2-329 (EPIC246193072, V=12.70, K=10.67) observed in K2 campaigns 12 and 19. We confirm and characterize these two planets with a variety of ground-based archival and follow-up observations, including photometry, reconnaissance spectroscopy, precise radial velocity, and high-resolution imaging. Combining all available data, we find that TOI-954b has a radius of 0.852_-0.062_^+0.053^R_Jup_ and a mass of 0.174_-0.017_^+0.018^M_Jup_ and is in a 3.68day orbit, while K2-329b has a radius of 0.774_-0.024_^+0.026^R_Jup_ and a mass of 0.260_-0.022_^+0.020^M_Jup_ and is in a 12.46day orbit. As TOI-954b is 30 times more irradiated than K2-329b but more or less the same size, these two planets provide an opportunity to test whether irradiation leads to inflation of Saturn-mass planets and contribute to future comparative studies that explore Saturn-mass planets at contrasting points in their lifetimes.

- Photometry and spectroscopy of HATS-8
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/150/49
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- HATS-8b is a low density transiting super-Neptune discovered as part of the HATSouth project. The planet orbits its solar-like G-dwarf host (V=14.03+/-0.10, T_eff_=50K) with a period of 3.5839days. HATS-8b is the third lowest-mass transiting exoplanet to be discovered from a wide-field ground-based search, and with a mass of 0.138+/0.019M_J_ it is approximately halfway between the masses of Neptune and Saturn. However, HATS-8b has a radius of 0.873^+0.123^_-0.075_, resulting in a bulk density of just 0.259+/-0.091g/cm3. The metallicity of the host star is super-solar ([Fe/H]=0.210+/-0.080), providing evidence against the idea that low-density exoplanets form from metal-poor environments. The low density and large radius of HATS-8b results in an atmospheric scale height of almost 1000km, and in addition to this there is an excellent reference star of nearly equal magnitude at just 19'' separation in the sky. These factors make HATS-8b an exciting target for future atmospheric characterization studies, particularly for long-slit transmission spectroscopy.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- CDS
- Description:
- We report the discovery of two transiting extrasolar planets by the HATSouth survey. HATS-9b orbits an old (10.8+/-1.5Gyr) V=13.3 G dwarf star with a period p~~1.9153days. The host star has a mass of 1.03M_{sun}_, radius of 1.503R_{sun}_, and effective temperature 5366+/-70K. The planetary companion has a mass of 0.837M_J_ and radius of 1.065R_J_, yielding a mean density of 0.85g/cm^-3^. HATS-10b orbits a V=13.1 G dwarf star with a period p~~3.3128days. The host star has a mass of 1.1M_{sun}_, radius of 1.11R_{sun}_, and effective temperature 5880+/-120K. The planetary companion has a mass of 0.53M_J_ and radius of 0.97R_J_, yielding a mean density of 0.7g/cm3. Both planets are compact in comparison with planets receiving similar irradiation from their host stars and lie in the nominal coordinates of Field 7 of K2, but only HATS-9b falls on working silicon. Future characterization of HATS-9b with the exquisite photometric precision of the Kepler telescope may provide measurements of its reflected light signature.

- Photometry & Li abund. of cool dwarfs in M35
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/156/37
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Hydra spectra of 85 G-K dwarfs in the young cluster M35 near the Li 6708 {AA} line region are analyzed. From velocities and Gaia astrometry, 78 are likely single-star members that, combined with previous work, produce 108 members with T_eff_ ranging from 6150 to 4000 K as defined by multicolor, broadband photometry, E(B-V)=0.20, and [Fe/H]=-0.15, though there are indications the metallicity may be closer to solar. The Lithium abundance A(Li) follows a well-delineated decline from 3.15 for the hottest stars to upper limits =<1.0 among the coolest dwarfs. Contrary to earlier work, M35 includes single stars at systematically higher A(Li) than the mean cluster relation. This subset exhibits higher V_ROT_ than the more Li-depleted sample and, from photometric rotation periods, is dominated by stars classed as convective (C); all others are interface (I) stars. The cool, high-Li rapid rotators (RRs) are consistent with models that simultaneously consider rapid rotation and radius inflation; RRs hotter than the Sun exhibit excess Li depletion, as predicted by the models. The A(Li) distribution with color and rotation period, when compared to the Hyades/Praesepe and the Pleiades, is consistent with gyrochronological analysis placing M35's age between the older M34 and younger Pleiades. However, the Pleiades display a more excessive range in A(Li) and rotation period than M35 on the low-Li, slow-rotation side of the distribution, with supposedly younger stars at a given T_eff_ in the Pleiades spinning slower, with A(Li) reduced by more than a factor of four compared to M35.
