HR 8844: a new transition object between the Am stars and the HgMn stars ?

R. Monier, M. Gebran, F. Royer +2

While monitoring a sample of apparently slowly rotating superficially normal early A stars, we have discovered that HR 8844 (A0 V), is actually a new Chemically Peculiar star. We h…

Using the CIFIST grid of CO5BOLD 3D model atmospheres to study the effects of stellar granulation on photometric colours. I. Grids of 3D corrections in the UBVRI, 2MASS, Hipparcos, Gaia, and SDSS systems

P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau, H. -G. Ludwig +9

The atmospheres of cool stars are temporally and spatially inhomogeneous due to the effects of convection.The influence of this inhomogeneity, referred to as granulation, on colour…
