The Gaia-ESO survey: Hydrogen lines in red giants directly trace stellar mass

Maria Bergemann, Aldo Serenelli, Ralph Schoenrich +27

Red giant stars are perhaps the most important type of stars for Galactic and extra-galactic archaeology: they are luminous, occur in all stellar populations, and their surface tem…

Kinematics and chemistry of recently discovered Reticulum 2 and Horologium 1 dwarf galaxies

Sergey E. Koposov, Andrew R. Casey, Vasily Belokurov +17

Photometry alone is not sufficient to unambiguously distinguish between ultra-faint star clusters and dwarf galaxies because of their overlap in morphological properties. Here we r…
