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…

Tracing back a second-generation star stripped from Terzan 5 by the Galactic bar

Stefano O. Souza, Marica Valentini, Cristina Chiappini +6

The Galactic bulge hosts the Milky Way's oldest stars, possibly coming from disrupted globular clusters (GCs) or the bulge's primordial building blocks, making these stars witnesse…

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.…

Combined Gemini-South and HST photometric analysis of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The age of the metal-poor population of the Galactic Bulge

S. O. Souza, M. Libralato, D. Nardiello +8

NGC~6558 is a low-galactic latitude globular cluster projected in the direction of the Galactic bulge. Due to high reddening, this region presents challenges in deriving accurate p…

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…

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…
