Title: | Nearby Young, Active, Late-type Dwarfs in Gaia's First Data Release | Authors: | Kastner, Joel H. SACCO, GIUSEPPE GERMANO Rodriguez, David Punzi, Kristina Zuckerman, B. Vican Haney, Laura |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Number: | 841 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | 73 | Abstract: | The Galex Nearby Young Star Survey (GALNYSS) has yielded a sample of ∼2000 UV-selected objects that are candidate nearby (D≲ 150 {pc}), young (age ∼ 10-100 Myr), late-type stars. Here, we evaluate the distances and ages of the subsample of (19) GALNYSS stars with Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) parallax distances D≤slant 120 {pc}. The overall youth of these 19 mid-K to early-M stars is readily apparent from their positions relative to the loci of main-sequence stars and giants in Gaia-based color-magnitude and color-color diagrams constructed for all stars detected by Galex and the Wide-field Infrared Space Explorer for which parallax measurements are included in DR1. The isochronal ages of all 19 stars lie in the range ∼10-100 Myr. Comparison with Li-based age estimates indicates a handful of these stars may be young main-sequence binaries rather than pre-main sequence stars. Nine of the 19 objects have not previously been considered as nearby, young stars, and all but one of these are found at declinations north of +30°. The Gaia DR1 results presented here indicate that the GALNYSS sample includes several hundred nearby, young stars, a substantial fraction of which have not been previously recognized as having ages ≲ 100 {Myr}. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27324 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aa7065 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/1538-4357/aa7065 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017ApJ...841...73K | Fulltext: | open |
