Ages and ZAMS spin distribution of stars in detached eclipsing binaries
T. Merle, W. Van Rensbergen, L. Siess +4
Benchmarking fundamental stellar properties is essential for calibrating evolutionary models and establishing empirical relationships between mass, radius, luminosity and related s…
The PLATO Science Calibration and Validation Plan: Targets for the First Long-pointing Field
Konstanze Zwintz, Conny Aerts, Andrew Tkachenko +56
In order to meet the science goals of the PLATO space mission, an extensive science calibration and validation plan has been designed. This paper describes this plan, as well as th…
Abundance of heavy r-process elements in CEMP-rs stars: The role of the i-process
A. M. Riyas, D. Karinkuzhi, S. Van Eck +6
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are ancient stars enriched in carbon and heavy elements. Some of these stars exhibit enhanced s-process and/or r-process elements, hence are…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: The DR5 analysis of the medium-resolution GIRAFFE and high-resolution UVES spectra of FGK-type stars
C. C. Worley, R. Smiljanic, L. Magrini +42
The Gaia-ESO Survey is an European Southern Observatory (ESO) public spectroscopic survey that targeted stars in the Milky Way covering the major populations of the disk, bu…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: new spectroscopic binaries in the Milky Way
M. Van der Swaelmen, T. Merle, S. Van Eck +14
The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey which acquired spectra for more than 100000 stars across all major components of the Milky Way. In addition to atmo…
MELCHIORS: The Mercator Library of High Resolution Stellar Spectroscopy
P. Royer, T. Merle, K. Dsilva +71
Over the past decades, libraries of stellar spectra have been used in a large variety of science cases, including as sources of reference spectra for a given object or a given spec…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: homogenisation of stellar parameters and elemental abundances
A. Hourihane, P. Francois, C. C. Worley +59
The Gaia-ESO Survey is a public spectroscopic survey that has targeted stars covering all major components of the Milky Way from the end of 2011 to 2018, delivering i…
To Ba or not to Ba: Enrichment in s-process elements in binary systems with WD companions of various masses
T. Merle, A. Jorissen, S. Van Eck +2
The enrichment in s-process elements of barium stars is known to be due to pollution by mass transfer from a companion formerly on the thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (AG…
Binary properties of CH and Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor stars
A. Jorissen, S. Van Eck, H. Van Winckel +8
The HERMES spectrograph installed on the 1.2-m Mercator telescope has been used to monitor the radial velocity of 13 low-metallicity carbon stars, among which 7 Carbon-Enhanced Met…
IP Eri: A surprising long-period binary system hosting a He white dwarf
T. Merle, A. Jorissen, T. Masseron +3
We determine the orbital elements for the K0 IV + white dwarf (WD) system IP Eri, which appears to have a surprisingly long period of 1071 d and a significant eccentricity of 0.25.…
