Chemical evolution of Na, Mg, and Al in the Galactic bulge from UVES data

R. P. Nunes, B. Barbuy, C. Chiappini +9

The formation of the Galactic bulge remains incompletely understood, with evidence pointing to different stellar populations, including a bar-driven component, an inner-disk popula…

Chemo-dynamical stratification of the Galactic disc using \emph{Gaia}-ESO open clusters

Casmir O. Obasi, M. Gómez, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +5

Understanding how the Milky Way disc assembled and evolved requires tracing the coupled evolution of stellar chemistry and orbital structure over time. Open clusters, as coeval ste…

Abundances in 78 metal-rich bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

H. Ernandes, B. Barbuy, C. Chiappini +9

The inner Galaxy is the most complex region of the Milky Way, comprising the bulge, inner thin and thick discs, and inner halo; the formation of the bar transferred gas and stars f…

Consensus based Algorithm for Nonparametric Detection of Star Clusters (CANDiSC)

C O Obasi, J G Fernandez Trincado, M Gomez +14

Context: The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and its extension (VVVX) are near-infrared surveys mapping the Galactic bulge and adjacent disk. These data have enabled the di…

Scaling relations at the central regions of nearby galaxies

Patrícia da Silva, R. B. Menezes, T. V. Ricci +3

Scaling relations between galactic parameters represent key pieces of evidence for investigating the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. In most studies, these relations h…

Abundances of P, S, and K in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

B. Barbuy, H. Ernandes, A. C. S. Friaça +25

We have previously studied several elements in 58 selected bulge spheroid stars, based on spectral lines in the H-band. We now derive the abundances of the less-studied elements ph…

Abundances of iron-peak elements in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

B. Barbuy, A. C. S. Friaça, H. Ernandes +22

Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge.…

The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy

R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143

The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…

Abundances in eight bulge stars from the optical and near-infrared

Patrícia da Silva, B. Barbuy, H. Ernandes +3

Context: The abundances of the -elements are key for understanding the early chemical enrichment of the Galactic bulge. The elements of interest present lines in different wavel…

A perspective on the Milky Way Bulge-Bar as seen from the neutron-capture elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

J. V. Sales-Silva, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +28

This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of 2000 stars in the Galact…

Reanalysis of neutron-capture elements in the benchmark r-rich star CS 31082-001

H. Ernandes, M. J. Castro, B. Barbuy +4

We revisit the abundances of neutron-capture elements in the metal-poor ([Fe/H]=-2.9) r-process-rich halo star CS 31082-001. Partly motivated by the development of the new near-ult…

Chrono-chemodynamical analysis of the globular cluster NGC 6355: Looking for the fundamental bricks of the Bulge

Stefano O. Souza, Heitor Ernandes, Marica Valentini +7

The information on Galactic assembly time is imprinted on the chemodynamics of globular clusters. This makes them important probes that help us to understand the formation and evol…

CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future

S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86

In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…

Abundance analysis of APOGEE spectra for 58 metal-poor stars from the bulge spheroid

R. Razera, B. Barbuy, T. C. Moura +19

The central part of the Galaxy host a multitude of stellar populations, including the spheroidal bulge stars, stars moved to the bulge through secular evolution of the bar, inner h…

Simulated observations of heavy elements with CUBES

H. Ernandes, B. Barbuy, B. Castilho +2

We investigate the feasibility of robust abundances for selected neutron-capture elements (Ge, Bi, Hf, U) from near-UV spectroscopy with the CUBES instrument now in development for…

Looking for imprints of the first stellar generations in metal-poor bulge field stars

C. Siqueira-Mello, C. Chiappini, B. Barbuy +9

Context. Efforts to look for signatures of the first stars have concentrated on metal-poor halo objects. However, the low end of the bulge metallicity distribution has been shown t…

Using Cepheids to determine the galactic abundance gradient I. The solar neighbourhood

S. M. Andrievsky, V. V. Kovtyukh, R. E. Luck +7

A number of studies of abundance gradients in the galactic disk have been performed in recent years. The results obtained are rather disparate: from no detectable gradient to a rat…

Near-infrared Spectral Features in Single-aged Stellar Populations

Ricardo P. Schiavon, Beatriz Barbuy, Gustavo Bruzual

Synthetic spectra for single-aged stellar populations of metallicities [M/H] = -0.5, 0.0 and +0.5, ages = 3 to 17 Gyrs, and initial mass function exponents x = 0.1 to 2.0 were buil…
