  • Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars
    Kaspar von Braun & Tabetha S. Boyajian Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars July 25, 2017 arXiv:1707.07405v1 [astro-ph.EP] 24 Jul 2017 Springer Preface In astronomy or indeed any collaborative environment, it pays to figure out with whom one can work well. From existing projects or simply conversations, research ideas appear, are developed, take shape, sometimes take a detour into some un- expected directions, often need to be refocused, are sometimes divided up and/or distributed among collaborators, and are (hopefully) published. After a number of these cycles repeat, something bigger may be born, all of which one then tries to simultaneously fit into one’s head for what feels like a challenging amount of time. That was certainly the case a long time ago when writing a PhD dissertation. Since then, there have been postdoctoral fellowships and appointments, permanent and adjunct positions, and former, current, and future collaborators. And yet, con- versations spawn research ideas, which take many different turns and may divide up into a multitude of approaches or related or perhaps unrelated subjects. Again, one had better figure out with whom one likes to work. And again, in the process of writing this Brief, one needs create something bigger by focusing the relevant pieces of work into one (hopefully) coherent manuscript. It is an honor, a privi- lege, an amazing experience, and simply a lot of fun to be and have been working with all the people who have had an influence on our work and thereby on this book. To quote the late and great Jim Croce: ”If you dig it, do it.

    Rotation Velocities for M-dwarfs1 J S Jenkins1,2, L W Ramsey1, H R A Jones3, Y Pavlenko3, J Gallardo2, J R Barnes3 and D J Pinfield3 1Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA16802 2Department of Astronomy, Universidad de Chile, Casilla Postal 36D, Santiago, Chile 3Center for Astrophysics, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane Campus, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK, AL10 9AB [email protected] ABSTRACT We present spectroscopic rotation velocities (v sin i) for 56 M dwarf stars using high reso- lution HET HRS red spectroscopy. In addition we have also determined photometric effective temperatures, masses and metallicities ([Fe/H]) for some stars observed here and in the litera- ture where we could acquire accurate parallax measurements and relevant photometry. We have increased the number of known v sin is for mid M stars by around 80% and can confirm a weakly increasing rotation velocity with decreasing effective temperature. Our sample of v sin is peak at low velocities (∼3 km s−1). We find a change in the rotational velocity distribution between early M and late M stars, which is likely due to the changing field topology between partially and fully convective stars. There is also a possible further change in the rotational distribution towards the late M dwarfs where dust begins to play a role in the stellar atmospheres. We also link v sin i to age and show how it can be used to provide mid-M star age limits. When all literature velocities for M dwarfs are added to our sample there are 198 with v sin i ≤ 10 km s−1 and 124 in the mid-to-late M star regime (M3.0-M9.5) where measuring precision optical radial-velocities is difficult.

W. M. Keck Observatory Annual Report 2007 | 2 Dr. Taft E. Armandroff Director W. M. Keck Observatory It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2007 annual report of the W. M. Keck Observatory. The past year has been noteworthy in both the measure of Keck’s scientific “ achievement and in our continued leadership in breakthrough technologies and innova- tion. In the following pages, we will share highlights of recent accomplishments and intro- duce you to some of my colleagues who helped make this an exceptional year. One of the key metrics for evaluating the success of our Observatory, and indeed any sci- entific enterprise, is the number of scholarly articles published in top academic journals.
