Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate
Brooke Kotten, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Ricardo Yarza +11
Theoretical models predict that subgiants within a narrow mass regime can retain detectable lithium enrichment signatures from planetary engulfment. We test this prediction using T…
Barium Stars Across the Milky Way: Probing Their Origins via the GALAH Survey
Jaden Levine, Catherine Manea, Keith Hawkins +4
Barium stars are unusually enriched in barium ([Ba/Fe] >= 1.0 dex) and not predicted by current Galactic chemical evolution models. Previous observations of barium stars have found…
WIYN Open Cluster Study. XC. Barium Surface Abundances of Blue Straggler Stars in the Open Clusters NGC 7789 and M67
Andrew C. Nine, Robert D. Mathieu, Simon C. Schuler +1
We investigate barium (Ba) abundances in blue straggler stars (BSSs) in two open clusters, NGC 7789 (1.6 Gyr) and M67 (4 Gyr), as signatures of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) mass t…
WIYN Open Cluster Study. LXXVII. Radial-Velocity Measurements and Spectroscopic Binary Orbits in the Open Cluster NGC 7789
Andrew C. Nine, Katelyn E. Milliman, Robert D. Mathieu +4
We introduce the stellar sample of the WIYN Open Cluster Study radial-velocity survey for the rich open cluster NGC 7789 (1.6 Gyr, [Fe/H] = +0.02). This sample lies within an 18…
