TOPoS VII. Age-metallicity relation in the Galactic halo and assembly of the Milky Way
P. Bonifacio, Y. Lebreton, I. Koutsouridou +8
One technique for determining stellar ages is to compare the position of a star in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to theoretical stellar evolutionary tracks. The sub-giant evoluti…
TYC 170-1218-1: A new r-process-enhanced extremely metal-poor star, rich in Th
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, L. Sbordone +5
Context . Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are formed from gas clouds enriched by one or a few supernova explosions belonging to the first stellar generation and this very limited…
VLTI/GRAVITY upper limit on near-infrared emission from the nearby 33 Msun black hole Gaia BH3
Pierre Kervella, Pasquale Panuzzo, Alexandre Gallenne +11
The recent astrometric discovery of the nearby (590 pc) massive () dormant black hole candidate Gaia BH3 offers the possibility to angularly resolve the black hole from…
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…
The Pristine survey. XXVI. Chemical abundances of subgiant stars of the extremelymetal-poor stream C-19
P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau, P. François +17
Context: The C-19 stellar stream is the most metal-poor stream known to date. While its width and velocity dispersion indicate a dwarf galaxy origin, its metallicity spread and abu…
The 33 M black hole Gaia BH3 is part of the disrupted ED-2 star cluster
E. Balbinot, E. Dodd, T. Matsuno +19
The Gaia Collaboration has recently reported the detection of a 33 M black hole in a wide binary system located in the Solar neighbourhood. Here we explore the relationship…
