    • Low-mass eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey : The persistence of the M-dwarf radius inflation problem 

      Cruz, Patricia; Diaz, Marcos; Birkby, Jayne; Barrado, David; Sipöcz, Brigitta; Hodgkin, Simon (2018-06-01)
      We present the characterization of five new short-period low-mass eclipsing binaries (LMEBs) from the WFCAM Transit Survey. The analysis was performed by using the photometric WFCAM J-mag data and additional low- and ...

    • Rotation periods for very low mass stars in Praesepe 

      Scholz, Alexander; Irwin, Jonathan; Bouvier, Jerome; Sipocz, Brigitta M.; Hodgkin, Simon; Eisloeffel, Jochen (2011-06)
      We investigate the rotation periods of fully convective very low mass (VLM, M < 0.3 M-circle dot) stars, with the aim to derive empirical constraints for the spin-down due to magnetically driven stellar winds. Our analysis ...
