We present an attempt to reconstruct the complete evolutionary path followed by cataclysmic
variables (CVs), based on the observed mass–radius relationship of their donor stars. Along …

The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final
fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characterization of …

This is the first of a series of papers presenting the Modules for Experiments in Stellar
Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) project, a new comprehensive …

Ultrashort-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than 1 day. Precise masses
and radii of USP exoplanets could provide constraints on their unknown formation and …

In this paper, we present an analysis of near-infrared spectropolarimetric and velocimetric
data of the young M dwarf AU Mic, collected with SPIRou at the Canada–France–Hawaii …

Context. After many attempts over more than a decade, high-resolution spectroscopy has
recently delivered its first detections of molecular absorption in exoplanet atmospheres, both …

The quest for Earth-like planets is a major focus of current exoplanet research. Although
planets that are Earth-sized and smaller have been detected, these planets reside in orbits …

The mass-luminosity (ML), mass-radius (MR) and mass-effective temperature ($ M-T_ {eff} $)
diagrams for a subset of galactic nearby main-sequence stars with masses and radii …

ABSTRACT A long-standing issue in the theory of low-mass stars is the discrepancy
between predicted and observed radii and effective temperatures. In spite of the increasing …

The fundamental properties of low-mass stars are not as well understood as those of their
more massive counterparts. The best method for constraining these properties, especially …
