Period-luminosity-metallicity relation of RRLs
This paper presents results from photometric and statistical-parallax analysis of a sample of 850 field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables. The photometric and spectroscopic data for our... -
Giant stars in TESS continuous viewing zones
The NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (NASA-TESS) mission presents a treasure trove for understanding the stars it observes and the Milky Way, in which they reside. We... -
[Fe/H] dependence of the wide-binary fraction
The metallicity dependence of the wide-binary fraction (WBF) IN stellar populations plays a critical role in resolving the open question of wide-binary formation. In this paper,... -
Distances and ages of 150 open clusters
We investigate a sample of open cluster candidates with no previous age determination using astrometric and photometric data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. Using proper motions... -
The metal-rich halo tail extended in z
We report an analysis of the metal-rich tail ([Fe/H]>-0.75) of stars located at distances from the Galactic plane up to |z|~10kpc, observed by the Apache Point Observatory... -
Spiral structure as revealed by O and B stars
We investigate the morphology and kinematics of the Galactic spiral structure based on a new sample of O- and early B-type stars. We select 6858 highly confident OB star... -
80 young open clusters from Gaia DR2
In this work we revisit the issue of the rotation speed of the spiral arms and the location of the corotation radius of our Galaxy. This research was performed using homogeneous... -
A full-sky census of brown dwarfs within 20pc
We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20pc of... -
Ages of field stars from white dwarf comp. in Gaia
We analyze 4050 wide binary star systems involving a white dwarf (WD) and usually a main-sequence (MS) star, drawn from the large sample assembled by Tian+ (2020, J/ApJS/246/4).... -
Ks absolute magnitudes from LAMOST for OB stars
We present a data-driven method to estimate absolute magnitudes for O- and B-type stars from the LAMOST spectra, which we combine with Gaia DR2 parallaxes to infer distance and... -
CFHT monitoring of M67 & members from Gaia EDR3
We present stellar rotation periods for late K- and early M-dwarf members of the 4Gyr old open cluster M67 as calibrators for gyrochronology and tests of stellar spin-down... -
M-subdwarf research. II. Catalog of ~3000 subdwarfs
We applied the revised M subdwarf classification criteria discussed in Zhang+ 2019, J/ApJS/240/31 (Paper I) to Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST)... -
~200 high-mass SFR plx & proper motion with VLBI
We compile and analyze approximately 200 trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of molecular masers associated with very young high-mass stars. Most of the measurements... -
Known members of Orion A with Gaia DR2 data
The star-forming region of the Orion Nebula (ONC) is ideal to study the stellar dynamics of young stars in a clustered environment. Using Gaia DR2 we search for pre-main... -
Cand. young OB stars from GALEX & Gaia DR2
We combine Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Gaia DR2 catalogs to track star formation in the outskirts of our Galaxy. Using photometry, proper motions, and parallaxes we identify a... -
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets. VII.
The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution... -
Parameters for adopted members of Corona Australis
We have performed a census of the young stellar populations near the Corona Australis molecular cloud using photometric and kinematic data from several sources, particularly... -
Radial velocity and astrometry for {mu} Arae
With Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor astrometry and published and previously unpublished radial velocity measures, we explore the exoplanetary system {mu}Arae. Our... -
Double & multiple star systems from GaiaDR2
Binary and multiple stars have long provided an effective empirical method of testing stellar formation and evolution theories. In particular, the existence of wide binary... -
1103 parallaxes and proper motions from URAT
We present 1103 trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions from the United States Naval Observatory Robotic Astrometric Telescope (URAT) observations taken at the Naval...
