Reanalysis of neutron-capture elements in the benchmark r-rich star CS 31082-001
H. Ernandes, M. J. Castro, B. Barbuy +4
We revisit the abundances of neutron-capture elements in the metal-poor ([Fe/H]=-2.9) r-process-rich halo star CS 31082-001. Partly motivated by the development of the new near-ult…
CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future
S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86
In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…
Simulated observations of heavy elements with CUBES
H. Ernandes, B. Barbuy, B. Castilho +2
We investigate the feasibility of robust abundances for selected neutron-capture elements (Ge, Bi, Hf, U) from near-UV spectroscopy with the CUBES instrument now in development for…
CUBES Phase A design overview -- The Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope
Alessio Zanutta, Stefano Cristiani, David Atkinson +51
We present the baseline conceptual design of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) for the Very Large Telescope. CUBES will provide unprecedented sensitivity for spe…
Be, V and Cu in the halo star CS 31082-001 from near-UV spectroscopy
H. Ernandes, B. Barbuy, A. Friaça +5
The 'First Stars' programme revealed the metal-poor halo star CS 31082-001 to be r-process and actinide rich, including the first measurement of a uranium abundance for an old star…
Stellar astrophysics in the near UV with VLT-CUBES
H. Ernandes, C. J. Evans, B. Barbuy +10
Alongside future observations with the new European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), optimised instruments on the 8-10m generation of telescopes will still be competitive at 'groun…
