Abundance distribution of stars with planets
We present the results of a uniform, high-precision spectroscopic metallicity study of 136 G-type stars from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search, 20 of which are known to harbour... -
CaII triplet stellar-activity indices from LAMOST
We have established and released a new stellar index library of the CaII triplet, which serves as an indicator for characterizing the chromospheric activity of stars. The... -
Magnetic activity of G-type stars from LAMOST & TESS
The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) data release 10 (DR10) provides over 3 million G-type stellar spectra, which are important for the study... -
A survey of stellar families
We present the results of a comprehensive assessment of companions to solar-type stars. A sample of 454 stars, including the Sun, was selected from the Hipparcos catalog with... -
LCOGT V-band monitoring of TYC 8830 410 1
We present a detailed characterization of the extremely dusty main-sequence star TYC 8830 410 1. This system hosts inner planetary system dust (T_dust_~300K) with a fractional... -
Opt. interferometry of G-M stars & V-K colors
We calculate directly determined values for effective temperature (Teff) and radius (R) for 191 giant stars based upon high-resolution angular size measurements from optical... -
Chromospheric activity of {rho} CrB and 88 Leo
During the first half of main-sequence lifetimes, the evolution of rotation and magnetic activity in solar-type stars appears to be strongly coupled. Recent observations suggest... -
Abundances of 6 stars in Praesepe cluster
It is not yet fully understood how planet formation affects the properties of host stars, in or out of a cluster; however, abundance trends can help us understand this process.... -
K2 LCs analysis of Sun-like stars in the Pleiades
We analyze space-based time-series photometry of Sun-like stars, mostly in the Pleiades, but also field stars and the Sun itself. We focus on timescales between roughly 1hr and... -
Solar analog rotations from Kepler & Gaia
A major obstacle to interpreting the rotation period distribution for main-sequence stars from Kepler mission data has been the lack of a precise evolutionary status for these... -
EW and chemical abundances in 211 stars with HARPS
Magnetic fields and stellar spots can alter the equivalent widths of absorption lines in stellar spectra, varying during the activity cycle. This also influences the information... -
Spot parameters on KIC solar-type stars
Active solar-type stars show large quasi-periodic brightness variations caused by stellar rotation with star spots, and the amplitude changes as the spots emerge and decay. The... -
Abundances for 79 Sun-like stars within 100pc
The compositions of stars are a critical diagnostic tool for many topics in astronomy such as the evolution of our Galaxy, the formation of planets, and the uniqueness of the... -
24 years monitoring of Sun and Sun-like stars
We compare patterns of variation for the Sun and 72 Sun-like stars by combining total and spectral solar irradiance measurements between 2003 and 2017 from the SORCE satellite,... -
HeI 5876 & 10830{AA} EWs of solar-type stars
Simultaneous, high-quality measurements of the neutral helium triplet features at 5876{AA} and 10830{AA} in a sample of solar-type stars are presented. The observations were... -
Abundances of solar twins from Keck/HIRES
The six planets of the Kepler-11 system are the archetypal example of a population of surprisingly low-density transiting planets revealed by the Kepler mission. We have... -
WISE IR excesses among main sequence stars
This study presents a search for infrared (IR) excess in the 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22{mu}m bands in a sample of 216 targets, composed of solar sibling, twin, and analog stars... -
Periodicity & magnitude of Kepler LCs variation
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... -
C/O and Mg/Si for solar neighborhood's stars
The carbon-to-oxygen ratio in a protoplanetary disk can have a dramatic influence on the compositions of any terrestrial planets formed. In regions of high C/O, planets form... -
S-index and Stroemgren LC of HD30495
A growing body of evidence suggests that multiple dynamo mechanisms can drive magnetic variability on different timescales, not only in the Sun but also in other stars. Many...
