Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus: Lithium evolution from early red-giant-branch and main-sequence stars
C. T. Nguyen, G. Cescutti, M. M. Bennedik +3
The combination of data from the Gaia satellite and large ground-based spectroscopic surveys recently lead to a milestone understanding of our Galaxy's formation history, marked by…
A Sequoia stellar candidate with very high 7Li and 9Be
L. Monaco, E. Caffau, P. Molaro +2
Aims. The metal-poor star BPM 3066 belongs to the retrograde halo and presents unexpectedly strong spectral features of lithium. To gain insight into the origin of this peculiar ab…
Explaining the ratio in the Galactic halo: the contribution from shell mergers in primordial massive stars
F. Rizzuti, G. Cescutti, P. Molaro +5
Recent campaigns of observations have provided new measurements of the carbon isotopes in the most metal-poor stars of the Galaxy. These stars are so metal-poor that they could onl…
High N/O ratio at high redshift as a result of a strong burst of star formation and differential galactic winds
F. Rizzuti, F. Matteucci, P. Molaro +2
Recent observations by JWST have revealed supersolar N abundances in galaxies at very high redshift. On the other hand, these galaxies show subsolar metallicity. The observe…
Tracing the Milky Way spiral arms with 26Al -- The role of nova systems in the 2D distribution of 26Al
Arianna Vasini, Emanuele Spitoni, Francesca Matteucci +2
Massive stars are one of the most important and investigated astrophysical production sites of Al, a short-lived radioisotope with 1 Myr half-life. Its short lifetime…
There is No Place Like Home -- Finding Birth Radii of Stars in the Milky Way
Yuxi Lu, Ivan Minchev, Tobias Buck +6
Stars move away from their birthplaces over time via a process known as radial migration, which blurs chemo-kinematic relations used for reconstructing the Milky Way (MW) formation…
Lithium and Beryllium in the Gaia-Enceladus Galaxy
Paolo Molaro, Gabriele Cescutti, Xiaoting Fu
Data from Gaia DR2 and APOGEE surveys revealed a relatively new component in the inner Galactic halo, which is likely the dynamical remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy named Gaia-E…
Estimating stellar birth radii and the time evolution of the Milky Way's ISM metallicity gradient
I. Minchev, F. Anders, A. Recio-Blanco +14
We present a semi-empirical, largely model-independent approach for estimating Galactic birth radii, r_birth, for Milky Way disk stars. The technique relies on the justifiable assu…
