Multiplicity of Cool Stars and their Evolution

Matthew I. Swayne, Leen Decin, Theo Khouri +12

Making up a sizeable portion of the galactic census, stellar multiples are experiencing a renaissance. Enabling the study of multiple strands of the study of cool stars, stellar mu…

HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT

Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174

This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…

The chemical fingerprint of the Gaia BH3 system. Evidence for early cluster enrichment from the analysis of 51 elements

Gregory Vanden Broeck, Thibault Merle, Nhat Tan Mai +5

The Gaia BH3 system hosts the most massive known stellar-origin black hole and a low-mass metal-poor companion whose chemical composition may constrain early explosive nucleosynthe…

Investigating non-LTE abundances of Neodymium (Nd) in metal-poor FGK stars

John D. Dixon, Rana Ezzeddine, Yangyang Li +3

The dominant site(s) of the -process are a subject of current debate. Ejecta from -process enrichment events like kilonovae are difficult to directly measure, so we must inst…

Barium isotopic ratios in metal-poor stars: calibrating the method with globular clusters

Riano E. Giribaldi, Laura Magrini, Jose Schiappacasse-Ulloa +2

Identifying the nucleosynthesis processes behind heavy-element enrichment in stellar atmospheres is challenging. It typically relies on comparing observed abundance-to-iron ratios…

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper

Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…

HRMOS White Paper: Science Motivation

Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Anna Brucalassi +52

The High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (HRMOS) is a facility instrument that we plan to propose for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO)…

The chemical compositions of the 2 new HgMn stars HD 30085 and HD 30963. Comparison to Lupi A, Cap and HD 174567

R. Monier, E. Griffin, M. Gebran +3

We report on a detailed abundance study of the fairly bright slow rotators HD 30085 (A0 IV), HD 30963 (B9 III) and HD 174567 (A0 V), hitherto reported as normal stars and the sharp…

The Potassium abundance in the globular clusters NGC104, NGC6752 and NGC6809

A. Mucciarelli, T. Merle, M. Bellazzini

We derived Potassium abundances in red giant branch stars in the Galactic globular clusters NGC104 (144 stars), NGC6752 (134 stars) and NGC6809 (151 stars) using high-resolution sp…

Comparative Modelling of the Spectra of Cool Giants

T. Lebzelter, U. Heiter, C. Abia +24

Our ability to extract information from the spectra of stars depends on reliable models of stellar atmospheres and appropriate techniques for spectral synthesis. Various model code…

News from the Galactic suburbia: the chemical composition of the remote globular cluster NGC 2419

A. Mucciarelli, M. Bellazzini, R. Ibata +4

We present the chemical analysis of 49 giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 2419, using medium resolution spectra collected with the multi-object spectrograph DEIMOS@Keck. Previ…

Chromosphere of K giant stars Geometrical extent and spatial structure detection

P. Berio, T. Merle, F. Thevenin +19

We aim to constrain the geometrical extent of the chromosphere of non-binary K giant stars and detect any spatial structures in the chromosphere. We performed observations with the…
