Tracing the Evolution of the Balmer Break from Cosmic Dawn to Cosmic Noon with JWST
Adarsh Kuruvanthodi, Daniel Schaerer, Rui Marques-Chaves +3
The Balmer break (BB) is a key spectral feature for constraining stellar population ages, star formation histories, and redshifts of high-redshift sources. The redshift evolution a…
How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars
Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +28
Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…
Lithium as a probe of stellar and galactic physics
C. Charbonnel, N. Prantzos
Lithium plays a unique role in astrophysics, as it is a powerful diagnostic for the physics and evolution of low-mass stars, Galactic archaeology, and cosmology. We review the Li o…
Spectrophotometry in the integrated light of multiple populations in globular clusters
Vinicius Branco, Ariane Lançon, Paula Coelho +7
There is vast evidence from observations of multiple stellar populations (MPs) in globular clusters (GCs). To explore the issue theoretically, this work considers two subsolar meta…
Evolution of lithium in the disc of the Galaxy and the role of novae
Sviatoslav Borisov, Nikos Prantzos, Corinne Charbonnel
Lithium plays a crucial role in probing stellar physics and stellar and primordial nucleosynthesis, as well as the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. Stars are considered to be the…
