Kepler asteroseismic LEGACY sample. II.
We use asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite to determine fundamental stellar properties of the 66 main-sequence targets observed for at least one full year by the... -
RR Lyrae as tracers in the Virgo overdensity region
We use a combination of spatial distribution and radial velocity to search for halo substructures in a sample of 412 RR Lyrae stars (RRLSs) that covers a region of ~525 square... -
APOGEE kinematics. I. Galactic bulge overview
We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the disk at positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. APOGEE... -
The ELM survey. VII. 15 new ELM white dwarf cand.
We present the discovery of 15 extremely low-mass (5<logg<7) white dwarf (WD) candidates, 9 of which are in ultra-compact double-degenerate binaries. Our targeted... -
Palomar/MSU and SDSS-DR7 M dwarfs with GALEX obs.
We present a catalog of Galaxy Evolution Explorer Near-UV (NUV) and Far-UV (FUV) photometry for the Palomar/MSU and SDSS DR7 spectroscopic M dwarf catalogs. The catalog contains... -
The SEGUE K giant survey. III. Galactic halo
We statistically quantify the amount of substructure in the Milky Way stellar halo using a sample of 4568 halo K giant stars at Galactocentric distances ranging over 5-125kpc.... -
L/T transition dwarfs search with PS1 & WISE. II.
The evolution of brown dwarfs from L to T spectral types is one of the least understood aspects of the ultracool population, partly for lack of a large, well-defined, and... -
Runaway M dwarf candidates from SDSS-DR7
We present a sample of 20 runaway M dwarf candidates (RdMs) within 1kpc of the Sun whose Galactocentric (GC) velocities exceed 400km/s. The candidates were selected from the... -
Kepler multiple transiting planet systems
The Kepler mission provides a wealth of multiple transiting planet systems (MTPSs). The formation and evolution of multi-planet systems are likely to be influenced by companion... -
MEarth mid-to-late M dwarfs rotation & kinematics
Using spectroscopic observations and photometric light curves of 238 nearby M dwarfs from the MEarth exoplanet transit survey, we examine the relationships between magnetic... -
The ELM survey. VI. 11 new ELM WD binaries
We present the discovery of 11 new double degenerate systems containing extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs). Our radial velocity observations confirm that all of the... -
HSTPROMO. III. Dynamical distances
We present dynamical distance estimates for 15 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) and use these to check the consistency of dynamical and photometric distance estimates. For most... -
Performance of exoplanet search space missions
We present an analytic model to estimate the capabilities of space missions dedicated to the search for biosignatures in the atmosphere of rocky planets located in the habitable... -
AO imaging of KOIs with gas giant planets
As hundreds of gas giant planets have been discovered, we study how these planets form and evolve in different stellar environments, specifically in multiple stellar systems. In... -
Red giant star sample from SDSS
We have obtained a sample of ~22000 red giant branch (RGB) stars based on stellar parameters, provided by the ninth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Cat. V/139),... -
Activity and rotation in Praesepe and the Hyades
Open clusters are collections of stars with a single, well-determined age, and can be used to investigate the connections between angular-momentum evolution and magnetic... -
Electromagnetic follow-up with LIGO/Virgo
We anticipate the first direct detections of gravitational waves (GWs) with Advanced LIGO and Virgo later this decade. Though this groundbreaking technical achievement will be... -
SDSS RGB stars distances
We present distance determinations for a large and clean sample of red giant branch stars selected from the ninth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Adelman-McCarthy... -
Metal-poor stars in the thick disk of the Galaxy
A new set of very high signal-to-noise (S/N>100/1), medium-resolution (R~3000) optical spectra have been obtained for 302 of the candidate "weak-metal" stars selected by... -
{sigma} Orionis cluster stellar population
We present a spectroscopic survey of the stellar population of the {sigma} Orionis cluster. We have obtained spectral types for 340 stars. Spectroscopic data for spectral typing...
