The advent of the second data release of the Gaia mission, in combination with data from
large spectroscopic surveys, is revolutionizing our understanding of the Galaxy. Thanks to …

Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the first high-precision full-sky
photometric survey in space. We extracted light curves from a magnitude limited set of stars …

We substantially update the capabilities of the open-source software instrument Modules for
Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). MESA can now simultaneously evolve an …

Thousands of exoplanets have now been discovered with a huge range of masses, sizes
and orbits: from rocky Earth-like planets to large gas giants grazing the surface of their host …

Abstract The Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) survey is a large high-resolution
spectroscopic survey using the newly commissioned High Efficiency and Resolution Multi …

We present a new method to detect planetary transits from time-series photometry, the transit
least squares (TLS) algorithm. TLS searches for transit-like features while taking the stellar …

We update the capabilities of the open-knowledge software instrument Modules for
Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). RSP is a new functionality in MESAstar that …

ABSTRACT The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA-sponsored
Explorer mission that will perform a wide-field survey for planets that transit bright host stars …

Abstract The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the
programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic …
