The ages of stars
DR Soderblom - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The age of an individual star cannot be measured, only estimated through mostly model-
dependent or empirical methods, and no single method works well for a broad range of …

Local kinematics and the local standard of rest
R Schönrich, J Binney, W Dehnen - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
We re-examine the stellar kinematics of the solar neighbourhood in terms of the velocity υ⊙
of the Sun with respect to the local standard of rest. We show that the classical determination …

How to constrain your M dwarf: measuring effective temperature, bolometric luminosity, mass, and radius
Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for
characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by …

How to constrain your M dwarf. II. The mass–luminosity–metallicity relation from 0.075 to 0.70 solar masses
The mass–luminosity relation for late-type stars has long been a critical tool for estimating
stellar masses. However, there is growing need for both a higher-precision relation and a …

New constraints on the chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood and Galactic disc (s)-Improved astrophysical parameters for the Geneva-Copenhagen Survey
We present a re-analysis of the Geneva-Copenhagen survey, which benefits from the
infrared flux method to improve the accuracy of the derived stellar effective temperatures and …

Fundamental parameters and spectral energy distributions of young and field age objects with masses spanning the stellar to planetary regime
We combine optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared spectra and photometry to construct
expanded spectral energy distributions for 145 field age (> 500 Myr) and 53 young (lower …
