The Sun's chemical peculiarity: disentangling Galactic chemical evolution and planetary engulfment in solar twins
Mia Babatsikos, Fan Liu, Amanda Karakas +5
Recent observational studies have suggested that the Sun may be chemically peculiar relative to the majority of solar twins. Here, we re-analyse high-resolution, high signal-to-noi…
Probing Binary Architectures of Lithium-Rich Giants in GALAH with COSMIC and Stellar Models
Maryum Sayeed, Selina Yang, Giulia Cinquegrana +5
Surface lithium is depleted when a star goes through the first dredge-up phase, yet of red giants are found to be Li-rich. The formation mechanism for these remains uncertain…
C3PO IV: co-natal stars depleted in refractories are magnetically more active -- possible imprints of planets
Jie Yu, Yuan-Sen Ting, Luca Casagrande +14
Chemical abundance anomalies in twin stars have recently been considered tell-tale signs of interactions between stars and planets. While such signals are prevalent, their nature r…
C3PO III: On the Lithium Signatures Following Planet Engulfment by Stars
Qinghui Sun, Yuan-Sen Ting, Fan Liu +8
Planet engulfment has been identified as one of the mechanisms for enhancing lithium abundance in stars. However, comprehensive investigations into lithium signatures following suc…
Stellar Evolution in Real Time II: R Hydrae and an Open-Source Grid of >3000 Seismic TP-AGB Models Computed with MESA
Meridith Joyce, László Molnár, Giulia Cinquegrana +3
We present a comprehensive characterization of the evolved thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) star R Hydrae, building on the techniques applied in Stellar Evolution…
