AGB-star Mass Transfer Products in Stellar Streams as Tracers of Density in Dissolved Star Clusters
Newlin C. Weatherford, Madeleine McKenzie, Sam A. Usman
The least dense globular clusters (GCs) appear to host the highest fractions of stars with chemical signatures of mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companions. Recen…
An Infant Sub-Saturn in Scorpius-Centaurus
Gurmeher Kathuria, Luke G. Bouma, Andrew W. Boyle +25
We report the discovery and validation of TIC 88297141 Ab, a transiting planet orbiting a pre-main-sequence M dwarf (0.31 solar masses, 0.74 solar radii) in the Scorpius-Centaurus…
Snapshots of r-process production in the Milky Way disk
Sarah G. Kane, Stephanie Monty, Madeleine McKenzie +9
Stars enhanced in heavy neutron capture elements like europium (Eu) provide a window into the rarest and most exotic nucleosynthetic events. Most Eu-enhanced stars discovered thus…
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey XI. First Gradients from SDSS/MWM BOSS Determined Clusters
Jonah M. Otto, Peter M. Frinchaboy, John Donor +13
The Milky Way Mapper program in the fifth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V/MWM) has observed millions of stars, thousands of them in open clusters. The Open Clust…
The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273
This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…
BOSS-CLAM: Utilizing a Constrained Linear Absorption Model to Infer Stellar Parameters from BOSS Spectra
Ilija Medan, Andrew R. Casey, Alexander P. Ji +13
Large spectroscopic surveys require robust pipelines capable of inferring stellar parameters over a wide range of the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram from data of varying quality.…
Globular cluster formation with multiple stellar populations: A comprehensive overview of a star-cloud interaction scenario
Kenji Bekki, Madeleine McKenzie
We present a new scenario of globular cluster (GC) formation with multiple stellar populations (MPs) in which both the first and second populations (1P and 2P, respectively) of sta…
TESS Asteroseismology of Red Giants in the Old Metal-Rich Open Clusters NGC 188 & NGC 6791
Madeline Howell, Jennifer A. Johnson, Marc H. Pinsonneault +5
Open clusters are fundamental laboratories for investigating stellar and Galactic evolution, and serve as important benchmarks for asteroseismic analyses. Using a boutique method t…
Optical spectroscopic signatures of the red giant evolutionary state
Ella Xi Wang, Melissa Ness, Thomas Nordlander +17
Modern spectroscopic surveys output large data volumes. Theoretical models provide a means to transform the information encoded in these data to measurements of physical stellar pr…
Chemical Abundances in the Metal-Poor Globular Cluster ESO 280-SC06: A Formerly Massive, Tidally Disrupted Globular Cluster
Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Jandrie Rodriguez +6
We present the first high-resolution abundance study of ESO 280-SC06, one of the least luminous and most metal-poor gravitationally bound Milky Way globular clusters. Using Magella…
The Rise of the Milky Way Disk through EMP Stars
B. Lowe, T. Nordlander, L. Casagrande +6
We present a chemo-dynamical study conducted with 2dFAAOmega of Gaia DR3 non-variable candidate metal-poor stars that lie in the direction of the Galactic plane. Our…
The GALAH survey: Improving chemical abundances using star clusters
Janez Kos, Sven Buder, Kevin L. Beeson +18
Large spectroscopic surveys aim to consistently compute stellar parameters of very diverse stars while minimizing systematic errors. We explore the use of stellar clusters as bench…
Formation of massive star clusters with and without iron abundance spreads in a dwarf galaxy merger
Hidenori Matsui, Kenji Bekki, Madeleine McKenzie +1
To study the formation of star clusters and their properties in a dwarf-dwarf merging galaxy, we have performed a numerical simulation of a dwarf-dwarf galaxy merger by using the T…
: New insights from deep spectroscopic observations of the tidal tails of the globular clusters NGC 1261 and NGC 1904
Petra Awad, Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal +22
As globular clusters (GCs) orbit the Milky Way, their stars are tidally stripped forming tidal tails that follow the orbit of the clusters around the Galaxy. The morphology of thes…
Chemical Abundances in the Leiptr Stellar Stream: A Disrupted Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy?
Kaia R. Atzberger, Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji +11
Chemical abundances of stellar streams can be used to determine the nature of a stream's progenitor. Here we study the progenitor of the recently discovered Leiptr stellar stream,…
The GALAH Survey: Data Release 4
S. Buder, J. Kos, E. X. Wang +36
The stars of the Milky Way carry the chemical history of our Galaxy in their atmospheres as they journey through its vast expanse. Like barcodes, we can extract the chemical finger…
The ratio of [Eu/] differentiates accreted/in-situ Milky Way stars across metallicities, as indicated by both field stars and globular clusters
Stephanie Monty, Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders +7
We combine stellar orbits with the abundances of the heavy, -process element europium and the light, -element, silicon to separate in-situ and accreted populations in the Mil…
