Beryllium enhancement in stars of the accreted Thamnos-2 system

Paolo Molaro, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau +2

Surveys of Galactic halo stars have revealed numerous streams and substructures tracing stellar populations accreted by the Milky Way. Among these, Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) and…

Chemical Evolution of R-process Elements in Stars (CERES): IV. An observational run-up of the third r-process peak with Hf, Os, Ir, and Pt

Arthur Alencastro Puls, Jan Kuske, Camilla Juul Hansen +8

The third r-process peak (Os, Ir, Pt) is poorly understood due to observational challenges, with spectral lines located in the blue or near-ultraviolet region of stellar spectra. T…

The true nature of HE0057-5959, the most metal-poor Li-rich star

A. Mucciarelli, P. Bonifacio, L. Monaco +2

The Li-rich stars are a class of rare objects with A(Li) higher than that of other stars in the same evolutionary stage. Their origin is still debated and valuable routes are the C…

Charting the Galactic acceleration field II. A global mass model of the Milky Way from the STREAMFINDER Atlas of Stellar Streams detected in Gaia DR3

Rodrigo Ibata, Khyati Malhan, Wassim Tenachi +17

We present an atlas and follow-up spectroscopic observations of 87 thin stream-like structures detected with the STREAMFINDER algorithm in Gaia DR3, of which 29 are new discoveries…

The Pristine survey VIII: The metallicity distribution function of the Milky Way halo down to the extremely metal-poor regime

K. Youakim, E. Starkenburg, N. F. Martin +15

The Pristine survey uses narrow-band photometry to derive precise metallicities down to the extremely metal-poor regime ([Fe/H] < -3), and currently consists of over 4 million FGK-…

4MOST Consortium Survey 2: The Milky Way Halo High-Resolution Survey

N. Christlieb, C. Battistini, P. Bonifacio +19

We will study the formation history of the Milky Way, and the earliest phases of its chemical enrichment, with a sample of more than 1.5 million stars at high galactic latitude. El…
