ACACIAS II: element abundances for 39 stars in the dwarf galaxy Sculptor

Anell Cornejo-Cárdenas, Sven Buder, Melissa K. Ness +1

Element abundances in nearby galaxies provide insights into their chemical enrichment histories and place the Milky Way and its neighbours in a broader cosmological context. These…

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…

Stellar ages from [C/N] in giant stars: applicability and limitations

Giada Casali, Luca Casagrande, Fiorenzo Vincenzo +5

The [C/N] abundance ratio is a powerful age indicator for giant stars, enabling age estimates for spectroscopic samples where traditional methods are limited. We calibrate a multiv…

HARPS Abundances with Korg I: 22 Element Abundances for 426 Red Giant Stars

Sarah E. Aquilina, Melissa Ness, Adam J. Wheeler +1

Large stellar surveys have revealed the global abundance structure of the Milky Way, but small high-fidelity spectral samples offer a critical complement of nucleosynthetic depth.…

A value-added catalogue of neural network-based europium abundances for GALAH DR4

Sarah G. Kane, Zofia Kaczmarek, Andrew Garner +3

The rapid neutron-capture (-process) element europium (Eu) is a valuable tracer of neutron star mergers and other rare nucleosynthetic events. The stellar spectroscopic survey G…

Spectroscopic Follow-up of Young High- Dwarf Star Candidates: Still Likely Genuinely Young

Yuxi Lu, Catherine Manea, Maryum Sayeed +9

The question of whether genuinely young high- stars exist has been discussed for over a decade since their discovery from asteroseismology of giant stars as it is challenging to…

The chemodynamical memory of a major merger in a NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue -- II. Were Splash stars heated or already born hot?

Sven Buder, Tobias Buck, Ása Skúladóttir +3

One of the most debated consequences of the Milky Way's last major merger is the so-called : stars with disc-like chemistry but halo-like kinematics, often interpreted as e…

The chemodynamical memory of a major merger in a NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue -- I. A golden thread through time and space

Sven Buder, Tobias Buck, Ása Skúladóttir +3

Understanding how past major mergers shaped the Milky Way's present-day structure is a key goal of Galactic archaeology. The Galaxy's chemical and dynamical structure retains the i…

Multi-wavelength probes of the Milky Way's Cold Interstellar Medium: Radio HI and Optical KI Absorption with GASKAP and GALAH

Hiep Nguyen, Sven Buder, Juan D. Soler +19

We present a comparative analysis of interstellar hydrogen (HI) and potassium (KI) absorption from the radio and optical surveys, GASKAP and GALAH, to study the physical and kinema…

A COMPASS to Model Comparison and Simulation-Based Inference in Galactic Chemical Evolution

Berkay Gunes, Sven Buder, Tobias Buck

We present COMPASS, a novel simulation-based inference framework that combines score-based diffusion models with transformer architectures to jointly perform parameter estimation a…

Probing Binary Architectures of Lithium-Rich Giants in GALAH with COSMIC and Stellar Models

Maryum Sayeed, Selina Yang, Giulia Cinquegrana +5

Surface lithium is depleted when a star goes through the first dredge-up phase, yet of red giants are found to be Li-rich. The formation mechanism for these remains uncertain…

Testing stellar yield prescriptions in OMEGA+: Implications for rising sodium abundances in young thick disc stars

Evans K. Owusu, Ashley J. Ruiter, Alex J. Kemp +8

We recently identified an upturn in [Na/Fe] for the population of Solar-type stars in the Galactic young thick disc () at super-Solar metallicity in…

Inferring Galactic Parameters from Chemical Abundances with Simulation-Based Inference

Tobias Buck, Berkay Günes, Giuseppe Viterbo +2

Galactic chemical abundances provide crucial insights into fundamental galactic parameters, such as the high-mass slope of the initial mass function (IMF) and the normalization of…

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…

Local variations of the radial metallicity gradient in a simulated NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue and their implications for (extra-)galactic studies

Sven Buder, Tobias Buck, Qian-Hui Chen +1

Radial metallicity gradients are fundamental to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. In our high-resolution simulation of a NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue, we analyze the li…

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…

At the same age, metallicity, and alpha-enhancement, sodium is a more effective tracer of the young and old sequences of the Milky Way disc

Evans K. Owusu, Sven Buder, Ashley J. Ruiter +2

Trends in the enrichment of elements with stellar ages are a powerful avenue to identify unexplained origins of the elements. We investigate the stellar abundance trends of low to…
