Abundances of CNO in candidate young metal-poor stars
Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau, Luca Sbordone +6
In this contribution we investigate the CNO abundances in five apparently young evolved stars, with the aim of discriminating between truly young stars and stars that were rejuvena…
Gaia DR3 high radial velocity stars: Genuine fast-moving objects or outliers?
D. Katz, A. Gómez, E. Caffau +39
The third Gaia data release includes 33.8 million radial velocity measurements, extending to a magnitude of G_RVS = 14. To reach this magnitude limit, spectra were processed down t…
Unveiling the nature of HE 0107-5240
E. Caffau, M. Steffen, P. Molaro +27
The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemic…
The Gaia RVS Benchmark Stars. III . Confirmed and New High Radial Velocity Stars From Gaia DR3
Elisabetta Caffau, David Katz, Piercarlo Bonifacio +12
High-velocity stars are interesting targets to unveil the formation of the Milky Way. In fact they can be recently accreted from an infalling dwarf galaxies or they can be the resu…
MINCE III. Detailed chemical analysis of the UVES sample
F. Lucertini, L. Sbordone, E. Caffau +14
Context. The MINCE (Measuring at Intermediate Metallicity Neutron-Capture Elements) project aims to provide high quality neutron-capture abundances measurements in several hundred…
