We present results of photometric monitoring campaigns of G, K and M dwarfs in the Pleiades carried out in 1994, 1995 and 1996. We have determined rotation periods for 18 stars in this cluster. In this paper, we examine the validity of…
Observations of late-type main-sequence stars have revealed empirical scalings of coronal activity versus rotation period or Rossby number $Ro$ (a ratio of rotation period to convective turnover time) which has hitherto lacked explanation.…
By using the LAMOST time-domain survey data, we study stellar activities based on the $\rm{H_{\alpha}}$ lines for about 2000 stars in four $K$2 plates. Two indices, $R_{\rm{H\alpha}}^{'}$ and $R_{\rm{H\alpha}}^{+}$, are computed from LAMOST…
From our sample of spotted late-type stars showing surface differential rotation we find that the relationship between the rotation period and the surface shear coefficient $\alpha=\Delta\Omega/\Omega_{\rm eq}$ is significantly different…
Aims. Other stars are known to have magnetic cycles similar to that of the Sun. The relationship between these activity variations and the observed radial-velocity is still not satisfactorily understood. In this first paper our aim is to…
Stellar rotation periods measured in open clusters have proved to be extremely useful for studying stars' angular momentum content and rotationally driven magnetic activity, which are both age- and mass-dependent processes. While period…
We present results from a 5-month photometric survey for stellar rotation periods combined with a 4-year radial-velocity survey for membership and binarity in the 220Myr open cluster M34. We report surface rotation periods for 120 stars, 83…
Determination of stellar age is a crucial task in astrophysics research. Different methods are nowadays used either model dependent or based on calibrated empirical relations. The most reliable results are generally obtained when different…
A cluster intermediate in age between the Pleiades (150 Myr) and the Hyades (600 Myr) is needed to probe the rotational evolution, especially the transition between fast and slow rotation that occurs between the two ages. We study the rich…
We analyze various tracers of magnetic activity for 23 solar twins which are characterized by significant scatter of lithium abundance in their atmospheres. A level of coronal and chromospheric activity has been studied from available X-ray…
Our study focuses on analysing the coronal, transition and chromospheric activity of four rapidly rotating stars located within 50 pc in the solar neighbourhood. We have used the multi-wavelength capabilities of AstroSat, to investigate the…
We present a study of the variation timescales of the chromospheric activity indicator H$\alpha$ on a sample of 13 fully-convective, active mid-to-late M stars with masses between 0.1--0.3 solar masses. Our goal was to determine the…
We present an analysis of flare activity in wide binary stars using a combination of value-added data sets from the NASA Kepler mission. The target list contains a set of previously discovered wide binary star systems identified by proper…
We use a 440.5 ks Chandra observation of the $\approx$500-Myr-old open cluster M37 to derive the X-ray luminosity functions of its $\leq1.2$ $M_{\odot}$ stars. Combining detections of 162 M37 members with upper limits for 160…
We present a sample of 824 solar and late-type stars with X-ray luminosities and rotation periods. This is used to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive a new estimate of the convective turnover time. From…
We present a study of the activity-rotation relation for M dwarf stars, using new X-ray data from the ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board the Russian Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma mission (SRG), combined with…
We present an extensive study of lithium abundances in dwarf components of chromospherically active binary stars (CABS). Since most of these binaries have known radii, masses and ages, this kind of data is especially useful for comparisons…
Gyrochronology allows the derivation of ages for cool main sequence stars from their observed rotation periods and masses, or a suitable proxy of the latter. It is increasingly well explored for FGK stars, but requires further measurements…
We present here high resolution echelle spectra taken during three observing runs of 14 single late-type stars identified in our previous studies (Montes et al. 2001b, hereafter Paper I) as possible members of different young stellar…
Lithium is a sensitive probe to mixing processes operating in stellar interiors. For many years, a connection has been suspected to exist between lithium abundances and stellar rotation, presumably the result of rotationally-induced…
