The Large Magellanic Cloud through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope: Binaries and the mass function in the galaxy's outskirts
M. V. Legnardi, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +16
Nearby galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offer an ideal laboratory to test the initial mass function under different physical conditions, but previous works have be…
Magnesium isotope ratios in Milky Way and dwarf galaxy stars
M. McKenzie, S. Monty, D. Yong +8
The paper measures magnesium isotope ratios in stars from dwarf galaxies and the Milky Way, finding distinct patterns at fixed iron abundance but similar ratios at fixed magnesium…
The complex stellar system M 22: constraining the chemical enrichment from AGB stars using magnesium isotope ratios
M. McKenzie, D. Yong, A. I. Karakas +8
The paper measures magnesium isotope ratios in the globular‑cluster-like system M 22 and finds that low‑mass (1–3 M☉) AGB stars can explain its s‑process enrichment, while higher‑m…
Evidence for the Keplerian orbit of a close companion around a giant star
Mats Esseldeurs, Leen Decin, Joris De Ridder +31
Close companions influence stellar evolution through tidal interactions, mass transfer, and mass loss effects. While such companions are detected around young stellar objects, main…
