A Pre-Gaia DR2 Survey for Nearby M Dwarfs in Young Associations

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.
