Some young stellar objects such as T Tauri-like 'dipper' stars vary due to transient partial occultation by circumstellar dust, and observations of this phenomenon inform us of...

Theory predicts that we should find fast, ejected (runaway) stars of all masses around dense, young star-forming regions. N-body simulations show that the number and...

Stellar magnetic activity is an interesting phenomenon in late-type stars. We use the medium-resolution spectroscopic observations of 406069 late-type stars from LAMOST to...

Superflares on solar-type stars have been a rapidly developing field ever since the launch of Kepler. Over the years, there have been several studies investigating the...

MEGARA (Multi Espectrografo en GTC de Alta Resolucion para Astronomia) is an optical (3650-9750{AA}), fibre-fed, medium-high spectral resolution (R=6000, 12000 and 20000)...

Classification of over 50000 TESS stars in sectors 1-18 has resulted in the detection of 766 pulsating main-sequence B stars as well as over 5000 {delta} Scuti, 2300 {gamma}...

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may have major importance for planetary and stellar evolution. Stellar CME parameters, such as mass and velocity, have yet not been determined...

We present here medium resolution ({lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}~1200) H- and K-band spectra of M-type dwarf stars covering the wavelength ranges 1.50-1.80{mu}m and 1.95-2.45{mu}m....

Magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars allow the investigation of such diverse phenomena as atomic diffusion, magnetic fields, and stellar rotation. The aim of the present...

The currently defined 'United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Faint Standards' have JHK magnitudes between 10 and 15, with K_median_=11.2. These stars will be too bright for...

We obtain distances to 383 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars from Gaia DR2 parallaxes and Bayesian methods, with a prior based on HII regions and dust extinction. Distances agree...

We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular-phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in...

We determine rotation periods for 127 stars in the ~115-Myr-old Blanco 1 open cluster using ~200d of photometric monitoring with the Next Generation Transit Survey. These stars...

Due to the ever-expanding volume of observed spectroscopic data from surveys such as SDSS and LAMOST, it has become important to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques...

OB associations are the prime star-forming sites in galaxies. However, the detailed formation process of such stellar systems still remains a mystery. In this context,...

It has long been thought that starspots are not present in the A and B stars because magnetic fields cannot be generated in stars with radiative envelopes. Space observations...

In this paper, we describe an analysis of the MiMeS (Magnetism in Massive Stars) survey of O-type stars to explore the range of dipolar field strengths permitted by the...

Detailed studies of the Sun have shown that sunspots and solar flares are closely correlated. Photometric data from Kepler/K2 has allowed similar studies to be carried out on...

Gaia DR2 provides an unprecedented sample of stars with full 6D phase-space measurements, creating the need for a self-consistent means of discovering and characterizing the...

Nearby young stellar moving groups have been identified by many research groups with different methods and criteria, giving rise to caution regarding the reality of some groups....
