Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) travel with such extreme velocities that dynamical ejection via
gravitational interaction with a massive black hole (MBH) is their most likely origin …

BANYAN Σ is a new Bayesian algorithm to identify members of young stellar associations
within 150 pc of the Sun. It includes 27 young associations with ages in the range∼ 1–800 …

Stellar evolution computations provide the foundation of several methods applied to study
the evolutionary properties of stars and stellar populations, both Galactic and extragalactic …

Context. In the era of large Galactic stellar surveys, carefully calibrating and validating the
data sets has become an important and integral part of the data analysis. Moreover, new …

Benchmark brown dwarf companions with well-determined ages and model-independent
masses are powerful tools to test substellar evolutionary models and probe the formation of …

We compile spectroscopic abundance data from 84 literature sources for 50 elements
across 3058 stars in the solar neighborhood, within 150 pc of the Sun, to produce the …

Abstract We present the Extended Hipparcos Compilation (XHIP), a database of all stars in
the New Reduction of the Hipparcos Catalog extensively cross-referenced with data from a …

Context. Stellar ages are key to improving our understanding of different astrophysical
phenomena. However, many techniques to estimate stellar ages are highly model …

Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the
Galaxy and they are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. It was recently …

We present a high-precision differential abundance analysis of 16 solar-type stars in the
Hyades open cluster based on high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N≈ 350–400) …
