The growth of a lithium abundance dispersion in pre-main-sequence stars (2025)
Journal Article
Jackson, R. J., Jeffries, R. D., & Tognelli, E. (2025). The growth of a lithium abundance dispersion in pre-main-sequence stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 539(4), 3364-3380. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staf683

Lithium is predicted, and observed, to be depleted in contracting low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. Yet, these stars reach the zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) with a spread in lithium abundance at a given effective temperature that is not predict...

Mapping the distribution of OB stars and associations in Auriga (2023)
Journal Article
Quintana, A. L., Wright, N. J., & Jeffries, R. D. (2023). Mapping the distribution of OB stars and associations in Auriga. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 522(2), 3124-3137. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1160

OB associations are important probes of recent star formation and Galactic structure. In this study, we focus on the Auriga constellation, an important region of star formation due to its numerous young stars, star-forming regions, and open clusters....
