The Gaia-ESO Survey: Characterisation of the [alpha/Fe] sequences in the Milky Way discs

G. Kordopatis, R. F. G. Wyse, G. Gilmore +30

We investigate, using the Gaia-ESO Survey internal Data-Release 2, the properties of the double sequence of the Milky Way discs (defined chemically as the high-alpha and low-alpha…

Gaia FGK benchmark stars: abundances of alpha and iron-peak elements

P. Jofré, U. Heiter, C. Soubiran +26

In the current era of large spectroscopic surveys of the Milky Way, reference stars for calibrating astrophysical parameters and chemical abundances are of paramount importance. We…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical determination of the precision of stellar radial velocities and projected rotation velocities

R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, J. Lewis +58

The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs)…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Insights on the inner-disc evolution from open clusters

L. Magrini, S. Randich, P. Donati +37

Context. The inner disc, linking the thin disc with the bulge, has been somehow neglected in the past because of intrinsic difficulties in its study, due, e.g., to crowding and hig…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: N-body modelling of the Gamma Velorum cluster

M. Mapelli, A. Vallenari, R. D. Jeffries +22

The Gaia-ESO Survey has recently unveiled the complex kinematic signature of the Gamma Velorum cluster: this cluster is composed of two kinematically distinct populations (hereafte…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Detailed Abundances in the Metal-poor Globular Cluster NGC 4372

I. San Roman, C. Muñoz, D. Geisler +28

We present the abundance analysis for a sample of 7 red giant branch stars in the metal-poor globular cluster NGC 4372 based on UVES spectra acquired as part of the Gaia-ESO Survey…
