Weak-CN Stars Are Ordinary Cool Red Supergiants

Weak CN absorption near ~8000 A has recently been detected in evolved red supergiants (RSGs) of 5-10 across three Local Group galaxies. These weak-CN RSGs sit in a narrow…
Probing the IMF in the Early Universe -- Direct measurements in the Boötes I UFD with JWST/NIRCam
Keyi Ding, Mario Gennaro, Roberto J. Avila +20
The dependence of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) on star-formation environment, particularly at low metallicities and high redshifts, remains poorly constrained. Ultra-fai…

Jihye Hong, Evan N. Kirby, Tiffany M. Tang +5
We investigate the chemical abundance distributions of the Fornax, Sculptor, Ursa Minor, and Draco dwarf galaxies using Subaru/HSC photometric data. The HSC dataset, which includes…
Discovery of a Weak CN Spectral Absorption Feature in Red Supergiant Stars in the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) Galaxies
Puragra Guhathakurta, Douglas Grion Filho, Antara R. Bhattacharya +14
Using Keck DEIMOS spectra of stars in the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) galaxies, selected from the large multi-band (near ultraviolet, visible light, and near infrared) Hub…

Elemental Abundances in And XIX From Coadded Spectra
L. R. Cullinane, Karoline M. Gilbert, Ivanna Escala +6
With a luminosity similar to that of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal (dSph) systems like Sextans, but a spatial extent similar to that of ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs), Andromeda (And) X…
Chemo-dynamical Evolution of Simulated Satellites for a Milky Way-like Galaxy
Yutaka Hirai, Evan N. Kirby, Masashi Chiba +5
The chemical abundances of Milky Way's satellites reflect their star formation histories (SFHs), yet, due to the difficulty of determining the ages of old stars, the SFHs of most s…
LAMOST J1010+2358 is not a Pair-Instability Supernova Relic
Pierre N. Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, William Cerny +2
The discovery of a star formed out of pair-instability supernova ejecta would have massive implications for the Population III star initial mass function and the existence of stars…
