Predicting metallicities and carbon abundances from Gaia XP spectra for (carbon-enhanced) metal-poor stars
Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Sarah G. Kane, Vasily Belokurov +4
Carbon-rich (C-rich) stars can be found at all metallicities and evolutionary stages. They are often the result of mass-transfer from a companion, but some of the most metal-poor C…
Deciphering the Milky Way disc formation time encrypted in the bar chrono-kinematics
Hanyuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans +3
We present a novel method to constrain the formation time of the Milky Way disc using the chrono-kinematic signatures of the inner Galaxy. We construct an O-rich Mira variable samp…
Hunting for Polluted White Dwarfs and Other Treasures with Gaia XP Spectra and Unsupervised Machine Learning
Malia L. Kao, Keith Hawkins, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarfs (WDs) polluted by exoplanetary material provide the unprecedented opportunity to directly observe the interiors of exoplanets. However, spectroscopic surveys are often…
Kinematics and dynamics of the Galactic bar revealed by Gaia long-period variables
Hanyuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans +2
We use low-amplitude, long period variable (LA-LPV) candidates in \textit{Gaia} DR3 to trace the kinematics and dynamics of the Milky Way bar. LA-LPVs, like other LPVs, are intrins…
The ratio of [Eu/] differentiates accreted/in-situ Milky Way stars across metallicities, as indicated by both field stars and globular clusters
Stephanie Monty, Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders +7
We combine stellar orbits with the abundances of the heavy, -process element europium and the light, -element, silicon to separate in-situ and accreted populations in the Mil…
The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith, Z. Guo +16
We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) database of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with mag, aiming to provide…
