NGC 1901: A new benchmark cluster for gyrochronology in the TESS Southern continuous viewing zone

Mara Bernizzoni, Timothy R. Bedding, Prasad Mani +5

We use Gaia DR3 astrometry and TESS time-series photometry to study NGC 1901, a sparse open cluster in the TESS Southern continuous viewing zone, that has been neglected due to its…

TwinSpecNet: Extending APOGEE's chemical reach to low-S/N spectra via empirical paired learning

Weijia Sun, Cristina Chiappini, Samir Nepal

Large spectroscopic surveys rely on automated pipelines to deliver homogeneous stellar labels, but a substantial fraction of observations are at low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), wh…

The oldest Milky Way stars: New constraints on the age of the Universe and the Hubble constant

Elena Tomasetti, Cristina Chiappini, Samir Nepal +6

We exploit the most robust, old, and cosmology-independent age estimates of individual stars from Gaia DR3 to place a lower bound on the age of the Universe, . These constrain…

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210

Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…

The Spheroidal Bulge of the Milky Way: Chemodynamically Distinct from the Inner-Thick Disc and Bar

Samir Nepal, Cristina Chiappini, Angeles Pérez-Villegas +7

Studying the composition and origin of the inner region of our Galaxy -- the "Galactic bulge" -- is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way and other…

Transferring spectroscopic stellar labels to 217 million Gaia DR3 XP stars with SHBoost

A. Khalatyan, F. Anders, C. Chiappini +14

In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using machine learning regression as a method of extracting basic stellar parameters and line-of-sight extinctions from spectro-photome…

Discovery of the local counterpart of disc galaxies at z > 4: The oldest thin disc of the Milky Way using Gaia-RVS

Samir Nepal, Cristina Chiappini, Anna B. A. Queiroz +5

JWST has recently detected numerous disc galaxies at high-redshifts and there have been observations of cold disc galaxies at z > 4 with ALMA. In the Milky Way, recent studies find…

Insights from Super-Metal-Rich Stars: Is the Milky Way bar young?

Samir Nepal, Cristina Chiappini, Guillaume Guiglion +6

Super-metal-rich (SMR) stars, currently in the solar neighbourhood, are expected to originate only in the inner Galaxy and have definitely migrated. We aim at studying a large samp…

Beyond Gaia DR3: Tracing the [/M]-[M/H] bimodality from the inner to the outer Milky Way disc with Gaia-RVS and convolutional neural networks

G. Guiglion, S. Nepal, C. Chiappini +17

In June 2022, Gaia DR3 has provided the astronomy community with about one million spectra from the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) covering the CaII triplet region. However, on…

Unveiling the time evolution of chemical abundances across the Milky Way disk with APOGEE

Bridget Ratcliffe, Ivan Minchev, Friedrich Anders +12

Chemical abundances are an essential tool in untangling the Milky Way's enrichment history. However, the evolution of the interstellar medium abundance gradient with cosmic time is…

StarHorse results for spectroscopic surveys + Gaia DR3: Chrono-chemical populations in the solar vicinity, the genuine thick disk, and young-alpha rich stars

Anna B. A. Queiroz, Friedrich Anders, Cristina Chiappini +16

The Gaia mission has provided an invaluable wealth of astrometric data for more than a billion stars in our Galaxy. The synergy between Gaia astrometry, photometry, and spectroscop…
