Jonathan Gagn\'e, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Gilles Fontaine
TL;DR
This study identifies 130 new M dwarf candidates in young stellar associations using the BANYAN Σ tool and recent distance data, refining membership lists and highlighting potential new members.
Contribution
It presents a new survey method combining BANYAN Σ with recent distance measurements to find young M dwarf candidates in nearby associations.
Findings
130 new M dwarf candidates identified
A white dwarf candidate rejected as a member
Three stars identified as strong candidate members
Abstract
In this research note we identify 130 new M-type candidate members of young associations with the BANYAN tool and recently published trigonometric distances from RECONS and URAT-South. We identify a white dwarf candidate in the AB Doradus moving group, but determine that its cooling age is too large and reject it as a member. Three stars (G 13-39, LHS 2935 and G 152-1) now have complete kinematics and are strong candidate members in the AB Doradus and Carina-Near moving groups, but still lack a confirmation of their young age independent of their kinematics.
