Testing a predictive theoretical model for the mass loss rates of cool stars

SR Cranmer, SH Saar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The basic mechanisms responsible for producing winds from cool, late-type stars are still
largely unknown. We take inspiration from recent progress in understanding solar wind …

Stellar labels for hot stars from low-resolution spectra-I. The HotPayne method and results for 330 000 stars from LAMOST DR6

M Xiang, HW Rix, YS Ting, RP Kudritzki… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
We set out to determine stellar labels from low-resolution survey spectra of hot stars,
specifically OBA stars with T eff≳ 7500 K. This fills a gap in the scientific analysis of large …

The impact of metallicity on the evolution of the rotation and magnetic activity of Sun-like stars

L Amard, SP Matt - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The rotation rates and magnetic activity of Sun-like and low-mass (≲ 1.4M⊙) main-
sequence stars are known to decline with time, and there now exist several models for the …

The Na-O anticorrelation in horizontal branch stars-III. 47 Tucanae and M 5

RG Gratton, S Lucatello, A Sollima, E Carretta… - Astronomy & …, 2013 - aanda.org
To check the impact of the multiple population scenario for globular clusters on their
horizontal branch (HB), we present an analysis of the composition of 110 red HB (RHB) stars …

Fast-rotating Blue Straggler Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 3201

Horizontal branch evolution, metallicity, and sdB stars

G Michaud, J Richer, O Richard - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 - aanda.org
Context. Abundance anomalies have been observed in field sdB stars and in nearly all
horizontal branch (HB) stars of globular clusters with T eff> 11 000 K, whatever be the cluster …

Relativistic corrections for measuring Hubble's constant to 1% using stellar standard candles

RI Anderson - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 - aanda.org
We have estimated relativistic corrections for cosmic distance estimates based on stellar
standard candles such as classical Cepheids and stars near the tip of the red giant branch …

The Mass–Activity Relationships in M and K Dwarfs. I. Stellar Parameters of Our Sample of M and K Dwarfs

ÉR Houdebine, DJ Mullan, JG Doyle… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Empirical correlations between stellar parameters such as rotation or radius and magnetic
activity diagnostics require estimates of the effective temperatures and the stellar radii. The …

Three-dimensional hydrodynamical CO5BOLD model atmospheres of red giant stars-I. Atmospheric structure of a giant located near the RGB tip

HG Ludwig, A Kučinskas - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
Context. Red giant stars are important tracers of stellar populations in the Galaxy and
beyond, thus accurate modeling of their structure and related observable properties is of …

WIYN open cluster study. LXXVI. Li evolution among stars of low/intermediate mass: the metal-deficient open cluster NGC 2506

BJ Anthony-Twarog, DB Lee-Brown… - The Astronomical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
HYDRA spectra of 287 stars in the field of NGC 2506 from the turnoff through the giant
