The internal kinematics and chemistry of 20 Milky Way strings

C. Boeche, A. Vallenari, J. Alonso-Santiago +8

Context: the recent discovery of filamentary stellar structures in the Milky Way disk raises the question of their formation in the context of the Galaxy evolution. Aims: in this w…

The open cluster NGC 2509. Stellar rotation and main sequence turnoff extension from FLAMES spectroscopy

C. Boeche, J. Alonso-Santiago, A. Bragaglia +8

NGC 2509 is a distant (~2.5 kpc) and little-studied open cluster located in the third Galactic quadrant. It is a moderately old cluster, whose age has not yet been precisely determ…

Two faces of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus: Mining the chemical abundance space with graph attention networks

Milan Quandt-Rodriguez, Sara Lucatello, Lorenzo Spina +2

Recent studies suggest that chemical abundances hold the key to disentangling halo substructure, providing a more reliable tracer than dynamics alone. We aim to probe the Milky Way…

Deep chemical tagging -- Identifying open clusters and moving groups in chemical space with graph attention networks

Lorenzo Spina, Milan Quandt Rodriguez, Laura Magrini +3

Reconstructing the formation history of the Milky Way is hindered by stellar migration, which erases kinematic birth signatures. In contrast, stellar chemical abundances remain sta…

Neutron-Capture Element Signatures in Globular Clusters: Insights from the Gaia-ESO Survey

J. Schiappacasse-Ulloa, L. Magrini, S. Lucatello +8

Globular clusters (GCs) are key to understanding the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. While the abundances of light and Fe-peak elements in GCs have been widely studied, inve…

Kinematics of metallicity populations in Omega Centauri using Gaia Focused Product Release and Hubble Space Telescope

Nagaraj Vernekar, Sara Lucatello, Pete Kuzma +1

Context. Omega Cen is the largest known globular cluster in the Milky Way. It is also quite a complex object with a large metallicity spread and multiple stellar populations. Despi…
