The Gaia-ESO Survey: Galactic evolution of lithium at high metallicity

S. Randich, L. Pasquini, E. Franciosini +20

Reconstructing the Galactic evolution of lithium (Li) is the main tool used to constrain the source(s) of Li enrichment in the Galaxy. Recent results have suggested a decline in Li…

The Gaia-ESO survey: 3D NLTE abundances in the open cluster NGC 2420 suggest atomic diffusion and turbulent mixing at the origin of chemical abundance variations

Ekaterina Semenova, Maria Bergemann, Morgan Deal +10

Atomic diffusion and mixing processes in stellar interiors influence the structure and the surface composition of stars. Some of these processes cannot yet be modelled from the fir…

Gaia and Hubble unveil the kinematics of stellar populations in the Type II globular clusters ω Centauri and M 22

G. Cordoni, A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino +8

The origin of multiple stellar populations in Globular Clusters (GCs) is one of the greatest mysteries of modern stellar astrophysics. N-body simulations suggest that the present-d…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Membership probabilities for stars in 32 open clusters from 3D kinematics

R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, N. J. Wright +16

The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) observed many open clusters as part of its programme to spectroscopically characterise the various Milky Way populations. GES spectroscopy and Gaia astrom…

ALMA and VLA reveal the lukewarm chromospheres of the nearby red supergiants Antares and Betelgeuse

E. O'Gorman, G. M. Harper, K. Ohnaka +8

We first present spatially resolved ALMA and VLA continuum observations of the early-M red supergiant Antares to search for the presence of a chromosphere at radio wavelengths. We…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: an extremely Li-rich giant in the globular cluster NGC 1261

N. Sanna, E. Franciosini, E. Pancino +16

Lithium rich stars in globular clusters are rare. In fact, only 14 have been found so far, in different evolutionary phases from dwarfs to giants. Different mechanisms have been pr…

The GALAH Survey: A new constraint on cosmological lithium and Galactic lithium evolution from warm dwarf stars

Xudong Gao, Karin Lind, Anish M. Amarsi +22

Lithium depletion and enrichment in the cosmos is not yet well understood. To help tighten constraints on stellar and Galactic evolution models, we present the largest high-resolut…
