Gaia FGK benchmark stars: Abundances of n-capture elements of the third version
S. Vitali, P. Jofré, L. Casamiquela +10
In the current era, in which an unprecedented wealth of data are available for the study of the Milky Way, Gaia benchmark stars (GBSs) have become an established reference and cali…
Reconstructing chemical enrichment pathways in disc galaxies: A phylogenetic approach
Brian Tapia-Contreras, Patricia B. Tissera, Emanuel Sillero +11
Phylogenetic methods, traditionally used in biology to trace the evolutionary relationships among species, are emerging as a powerful framework to reconstruct evolutionary processe…
Disentangling chemical evolution histories with phylogenetic trees
Rebeca Canales, Paula Jofré, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +6
Chemical abundances encode the fossil record of galaxy evolution in a complex and diverse way that requires innovative approaches to reconstruct galactic histories. We investigate…
Studying stellar populations in Omega Centauri with phylogenetics
P. Jofré, C. Aguilera-Gómez, P. Villarreal +14
The nature and formation history of our Galaxy's largest and most enigmatic stellar cluster, known as Omega Centauri (ocen) remains debated. Here, we offer a novel approach to dise…
