Young Stars with SALT*

Abstract: We present a spectroscopic and kinematic analysis of 79 nearby M dwarfs in 77 systems. All are low-propermotion southern hemisphere objects and were identified in a nearby star survey with a demonstrated sensitivity to young stars. Using low-resolution optical spectroscopy from the Red Side Spectrograph (RSS) on the South African Large Telescope (SALT), we have determined radial velocities, H-alpha, Lithium 6708Å, and Potassium 7699Å equivalent widths linked to age and activity, and spectral types for all our … Show more

“…• 12 pre-main sequence stellar systems that are identified to be part of the AB Doradus (two systems), Argus (three system), Tucana-Horologium (5), β Pictoris (1), and TW Hydra (1) moving groups, plus two additional stars that do not appear to be associated with any group. The unassociated stars (along with other young non-members identified in Riedel et al 2014 andRiedel et al 2017a) hint at a complex outcome to the star formation process that yields relatively young stars that cannot be straightforwardly linked to known assocations or moving groups.…”

“…The TINYMO survey contains a large number of nearby young stars, (55, counting Riedel et al 2014, Riedel et al 2017a, and this paper) where they make up perhaps 4% of all stars (Riedel et al 2017b). There are two primary reasons for this.…”

“…Delfosse et al 1998;Mohanty & Basri 2003;Reiners et al 2012;West et al 2015;Newton et al 2017). Furthermore, several studies have extended the idea that magnetic activity decreases with age for late-M dwarfs (Fleming et al 1995;Eggen 1990;West et al 2006West et al , 2008aRiedel et al 2017). This indicates that there is an empirical relation between age, rotation and magnetic activity for M dwarfs that may extend to L dwarfs as well.…”
