Beryllium enhancement in stars of the accreted Thamnos-2 system
Paolo Molaro, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau +2
Surveys of Galactic halo stars have revealed numerous streams and substructures tracing stellar populations accreted by the Milky Way. Among these, Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) and…
Unveiling the nature of HE 0107-5240
E. Caffau, M. Steffen, P. Molaro +27
The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemic…
Detailed Chemical Abundance Analysis of Metal-Poor Turn-Off Stars: One with [Fe/H] < -4 and Three with [Fe/H] < -3
Takuma Suda, Patrick Francois, Shinya Wanajo +3
We present the analysis of four new extremely metal poor turn-off stars thanks to high-resolution spectra obtained with the Subaru/HDS spectrograph. We determined the abundances an…
Chemical Evolution of R-process Elements in Stars (CERES): IV. An observational run-up of the third r-process peak with Hf, Os, Ir, and Pt
Arthur Alencastro Puls, Jan Kuske, Camilla Juul Hansen +8
The third r-process peak (Os, Ir, Pt) is poorly understood due to observational challenges, with spectral lines located in the blue or near-ultraviolet region of stellar spectra. T…
Neutron-capture elements in a sample of field metal-poor N-rich dwarfs
M Spite, P Bonifacio, E Caffau +1
The aim of this work is to measure the abundances of n-capture elements in a sample of six metal-poor N-rich dwarfs that were formed in globular clusters, and subsequently became u…
MINCE II. Neutron capture elements
P. François, G. Cescutti, P. Bonifacio +24
The MINCE (Measuring at Intermediate metallicity Neutron-Capture Elements) project aims to gather the abundances of neutron-capture elements but also of light elements and iron pea…
