Estimating the Convective Turnover Time (2022)
Journal Article
Wright. (2022). Estimating the Convective Turnover Time. Astrophysical Journal, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac9cd8

The introduction of the Rossby number (R0), which incorporates the convective turnover time (t), in 1984 was a pioneering idea for understanding the correlation between stellar rotation and activity. The convective turnover time, which cannot be meas... Read More about Estimating the Convective Turnover Time.

The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2 (2022)
Journal Article
Armstrong, J. J., Wright, N. J., Jeffries, R. D., Jackson, R. J., & Cantat-Gaudin, T. (2022). The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 517(4), 5704 - 5720. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3101

The kinematics of stars in OB associations can provide insights into their formation, dynamical evolution, and eventual fate. The low-mass stellar content of OB associations are sufficiently numerous as to provide a detailed sampling of their kinemat... Read More about The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2.

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 66, Article A120. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202243134

Context. The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is an ambitious project designed to obtain astrophysical parameters and elemental abundances for 100 000 stars, including large representative samples of the stellar populations in the Galaxy, and a w...

The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Implementation, data products, open cluster survey, science, and legacy (2022)
Journal Article
Wright, Jeffries, Abbas, U., Borsen-Koch, V., Villanova, S., Wright, N., …Bragaglia, A. (2022). The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Implementation, data products, open cluster survey, science, and legacy. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202243141

Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances for large samples of Galactic stars, complementing Gaia astrom...

Quantifying kinematic substructure in star-forming regions with statistical tests of spatial autocorrelation (2022)
Journal Article
Arnold, B., Wright, N., & Parker, R. J. (2022). Quantifying kinematic substructure in star-forming regions with statistical tests of spatial autocorrelation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 515(2), 2266–2279. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1955

We investigate whether spatial-kinematic substructure in young star-forming regions can be quantified using Moran's $I$ statistic. Its presence in young star clusters would provide an indication that the system formed from initially substructured con...
