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 nucleosynthesis of Ba in the Early Universe. Constraints from elemental abundances and isotopic ratios
Riano E. Giribaldi, Marco Palla, Laura Magrini +6
The [Ba/Eu] abundance ratio is commonly adopted as a tracer of the relative contributions of the slow (s) and rapid (r) neutron-capture processes. However, at [Fe/H] < -2 dex, Ba c…
Wavelengths and Energy Levels of Neutral Manganese (Mn I) Determined Using High-Resolution Fourier Transform and Grating Spectroscopy
Christian P. Clear, Gillian Nave, Richard Blackwell-Whitehead +3
An extensive analysis of the spectrum of neutral manganese has been performed using spectra of manganese-neon and manganese-argon hollow cathode discharges measured using high reso…
Discovery of an icy and nitrogen-rich extrasolar planetesimal
Snehalata Sahu, Boris T. Gänsicke, Jamie T. Williams +7
White dwarfs accreting planetary debris provide detailed insight into the bulk composition of rocky exo-planetesimals. However, only one Kuiper-Belt analogue has been identified in…
