Discovery of lambda Boo stars in open clusters
C. Saffe, J. Alacoria, A. Alejo +7
The origin of lambda Boo stars is currently unknown. After several efforts by many authors, no bona fide lambda Boo stars have been confirmed as members of open clusters. Their det…
Searching for lambda Boo stars in binary systems
J. Alacoria, C. Saffe, A. Collado +7
Our goal is to find new candidate lambda Boo stars that belong to binary systems. A detailed abundance determination of some candidates could confirm their true lambda Boo nature,…
No Maunder Minimum phase in HD 4915
M. Flores-Trivigno, A. P. Buccino, E. González +8
The long-term solar magnetic activity and its cyclical behaviour, which is maintained by a dynamo mechanism, are both still challenging for the astrophysics. In particular, an atyp…
The largest metallicity difference in twin systems: high-precision abundance analysis of the benchmark pair Krios & Kronos
P. Miquelarena, C. Saffe, M. Flores +7
Aims.We conduct a high-precision differential abundance analysis of the remarkable binary system HD 240429/30 (Krios and Kronos, respectively), whose difference in metallicity is o…
Disentangling the origin of chemical differences using GHOST
C. Saffe, P. Miquelarena, J. Alacoria +8
Aims. We explore different scenarios to explain the chemical difference found in the remarkable giant-giant binary system HD 138202 + CD-30 12303. For the first time, we suggest ho…
Elemental abundances differences in the massive planet-hosting wide binary HD 196067-68
M. Flores, J. Yana Galarza, P. Miquelarena +6
It has been suggested that small chemical anomalies observed in planet-hosting wide binary systems could be due to planet signatures, where the role of the planetary mass is still…
Are Am stars and hot-Jupiter planets related?
C. Saffe, J. Alacoria, P. Miquelarena +8
Am stars are often components of short-period binary systems, where tidal interactions would result in low rotational velocities and help to develop the chemical peculiarities obse…
Testing the accretion scenario of lambda Boo stars
J. Alacoria, C. Saffe, M. Jaque Arancibia +5
Our aim is to test the accretion scenario of lambda Boo stars. This model predicts that a binary system with two early-type stars passing through a diffuse cloud should both displa…
Chemical analysis of early-type stars with planets
C. Saffe, P. Miquelarena, J. Alacoria +6
Aims. To explore the chemical pattern of early-type stars with planets, searching for a possible signature of planet formation. In particular, we study a likely relation between th…
Detecting prolonged activity minima in binary stars. The case of Ret
M. Flores, M. Jaque Arancibia, R. V. Ibañez Bustos +7
Context. It is well known that from 1645 to 1715 solar activity was notably low and the number of sunspots was extremely reduced. This epoch is known as the Maunder Minimum (MM). T…
KELT-17: a chemically peculiar Am star and a hot-Jupiter planet
C. Saffe, P. Miquelarena, J. Alacoria +6
Context. The detection of planets orbiting chemically peculiar stars is very scarcely known in the literature. Aims. To determine the detailed chemical composition of the remarkabl…
