Short-duration stellar flares from GALEX & Kepler
We report on a population of short-duration near-ultraviolet (NUV) flares in stars observed by the Kepler and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) missions. We analyzed the NUV... -
Spot parameters on KIC solar-type stars
Active solar-type stars show large quasi-periodic brightness variations caused by stellar rotation with star spots, and the amplitude changes as the spots emerge and decay. The... -
Abundances for 79 Sun-like stars within 100pc
The compositions of stars are a critical diagnostic tool for many topics in astronomy such as the evolution of our Galaxy, the formation of planets, and the uniqueness of the... -
Asymmetry of oscillations in 43 Kepler stars
Oscillation properties are usually measured by fitting symmetric Lorentzian profiles to the power spectra of Sun-like stars. However, the line profiles of solar oscillations... -
24 years monitoring of Sun and Sun-like stars
We compare patterns of variation for the Sun and 72 Sun-like stars by combining total and spectral solar irradiance measurements between 2003 and 2017 from the SORCE satellite,... -
Long-term variability of Kepler sun-like stars
Photometry from the Kepler mission is optimized to detect small, short- duration signals like planet transits at the expense of long-term trends. This long-term variability can... -
HeI 5876 & 10830{AA} EWs of solar-type stars
Simultaneous, high-quality measurements of the neutral helium triplet features at 5876{AA} and 10830{AA} in a sample of solar-type stars are presented. The observations were... -
Abundances of solar twins from Keck/HIRES
The six planets of the Kepler-11 system are the archetypal example of a population of surprisingly low-density transiting planets revealed by the Kepler mission. We have... -
WISE IR excesses among main sequence stars
This study presents a search for infrared (IR) excess in the 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22{mu}m bands in a sample of 216 targets, composed of solar sibling, twin, and analog stars... -
S-index and Stroemgren LC of HD30495
A growing body of evidence suggests that multiple dynamo mechanisms can drive magnetic variability on different timescales, not only in the Sun but also in other stars. Many... -
HARPS timeseries data for HD41248
Gaining a better understanding of the effects of stellar-induced radial velocity noise is critical for the future of exoplanet studies since the discovery of the lowest-mass... -
Solar analogs and twins rotation by Kepler
A new sample of solar analogs and twin candidates has been constructed and studied, paying particular attention to their light curves from NASA's Kepler mission. This Letter... -
Elemental abundances of solar sibling candidates
Dynamical information along with survey data on metallicity and in some cases age have been used recently by some authors to search for candidates of stars that were born in the... -
Lithium abundances of a large sample of red giants
The lithium abundances for 378 G/K giants are derived with non-local thermodynamic equilibrium correction considered. Among these are 23 stars that host planetary systems. The... -
Oxygen abundances in nearby FGK stars
Atmospheric parameters and oxygen abundances of 825 nearby FGK stars are derived using high-quality spectra and a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of the 777nm OI... -
Lithium abundances in HIP stars
We derive atmospheric parameters and lithium abundances for 671 stars and include our measurements in a literature compilation of 1381 dwarf and subgiant stars. First, a... -
A search for new companions with CHARA
We present the results of a comprehensive search for new companions to nearby solar-type stars using the separated fringe packet (SFP) technique at the Center for High Angular... -
Abundances in G-type stars with exoplanets
We confirm the difference in chemical abundance between stars with and without exoplanets and present the relation between chemical abundances and physical properties of... -
Orbital eccentricities of 31535 G-dwarfs
We test four competing models that aim to explain the nature of stars in spiral galaxies that are well away (>1kpc) from the midplane, the so-called thick disk: the stars may... -
Stellar X-ray sources in the COSMOS survey
We present an analysis of the X-ray properties of a sample of solar- and late-type field stars identified in the Chandra Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), a deep (160ks) and...
