MINCE I. Presentation of the project and of the first year sample
G. Cescutti, P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau +20
In recent years, Galactic archaeology has become a particularly vibrant field of astronomy, with its main focus set on the oldest stars of our Galaxy. In most cases, these stars ha…
Barium lines in high-quality spectra of two metal-poor giants in the Galactic halo
G. Cescutti, C. Morossi, M. Franchini +9
Context. Theoretical results showed the possibility that neutron capture elements were produced in the early Universe by two different sources: a frequent s-process source hosted b…
MINCE II. Neutron capture elements
P. François, G. Cescutti, P. Bonifacio +24
The MINCE (Measuring at Intermediate metallicity Neutron-Capture Elements) project aims to gather the abundances of neutron-capture elements but also of light elements and iron pea…
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Implementation, data products, open cluster survey, science, and legacy
S. Randich, G. Gilmore, L. Magrini +161
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 f…
Synthetic Mid-UV Spectroscopic Indices of Stars
M. Chavez, E. Bertone, A. Buzzoni +4
Using the UVBLUE library of synthetic stellar spectra we have computed a set of mid-UV line and continuum spectroscopic indices. We explore their behavior in terms of the leading s…
CUBES, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph
S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcalá, S. H. P. Alencar +74
In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Casse…
Accretion and Outflows in Young Stars with CUBES
J. M. Alcalá, G. Cupani, C. J. Evans +2
The science case on studies of accretion and outflows in low-mass (1.5 ) young stellar objects (YSOs) with the new CUBES instrument is presented. We show the need for…
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Motivation, implementation, GIRAFFE data processing, analysis, and final data products
G. Gilmore, S. Randich, C. C. Worley +165
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is an ambitious project designed to obtain astrophysical parameters and elemental abundances for 100,000 stars, including large representat…
Stellar astrophysics in the near UV with VLT-CUBES
H. Ernandes, C. J. Evans, B. Barbuy +10
Alongside future observations with the new European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), optimised instruments on the 8-10m generation of telescopes will still be competitive at 'groun…
The FEROS--Lick/SDSS observational database of spectral indices of FGK stars for stellar population studies
M. Franchini, C. Morossi, P. Di Marcantonio +2
We present FEROS--Lick/SDSS, an empirical database of Lick/SDSS spectral indices of FGK stars to be used in population synthesis projects for discriminating different stellar popul…
MINCE III. Detailed chemical analysis of the UVES sample
F. Lucertini, L. Sbordone, E. Caffau +14
Context. The MINCE (Measuring at Intermediate Metallicity Neutron-Capture Elements) project aims to provide high quality neutron-capture abundances measurements in several hundred…
End-to-End simulation framework for astronomical spectrographs: SOXS, CUBES and ANDES
A. Scaudo, M. Genoni, G. Li Causi +73
We present our numerical simulation approach for the End-to-End (E2E) model applied to various astronomical spectrographs, such as SOXS (ESO-NTT), CUBES (ESO-VLT), and ANDES (ESO-E…
Angular differential and elemental fragmentation cross sections of a beam on a graphite target with the FOOT experiment
FOOT Collaboration, R. Ridolfi, M. Toppi +88
This paper presents the measurements of the angular differential cross sections for the forward production of He, Li, Be, B, C and N nuclei in the fragmentation process of a 400$\t…
CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future
S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86
In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…
