TYC~2990-127-1: an Algol-type SB2 binary system of subgiant and red giant with a probable ongoing mass-transfer

Mikhail Kovalev, Zhenwei Li, Xiaobin Zhang +3

We present a study of the spectroscopic binary TYC 2990-127-1 from the LAMOST survey. We use full-spectrum fitting to derive radial velocities and spectral parameters. The high mas…

The SAPP pipeline for the determination of stellar abundances and atmospheric parameters of stars in the core program of the PLATO mission

Matthew Raymond Gent, Maria Bergemann, Aldo Serenelli +25

We introduce the SAPP (Stellar Abundances and atmospheric Parameters Pipeline), the prototype of the code that will be used to determine parameters of stars observed within the cor…

LAMOST Time-Domain Survey: First Results of four 2 plates

Song Wang, Haotong Zhang, Zhongrui Bai +23

From Oct. 2019 to Apr. 2020, LAMOST performs a time-domain spectroscopic survey of four 2 plates with both low- and med-resolution observations. The low-resolution spectroscopic…

Double-lined spectroscopic binaries in M11

Mikhail Kovalev, Ilya Straumit

We have developed a new method for spectral analysis of binaries. Our method successfully identifies SB2 candidates from high-resolution Gaia-ESO spectra. Compared to the commonly…

Analysis of Red-Supergiants in VdBH 222

Randa Asa'd, M. Kovalev, B. Davies +6

Recent surveys uncovered new Young Massive Clusters (YMCs) that host dozens of Red Supergiants (RSGs) in the inner Milky Way. These clusters are ideal for studying the most recent…

Evidence for Sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia Supernovae from Stellar Abundances in Dwarf Galaxies

Evan N. Kirby, Justin L. Xie, Rachel Guo +6

There is no consensus on the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) despite their importance for cosmology and chemical evolution. We address this question by using our previou…
