Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG. Beyond the iron peak: Galactic evolution of molybdenum, ruthenium and zirconium through open clusters

Natalia Alvarez-Baena, Valentina D'Orazi, Christopher Sneden +11

Context: Open clusters serve as key laboratories for studying the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. In particular, leveraging these coeval groups of stars to study elements beyo…

HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT

Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174

This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…

Production of heavy -elements and Ti in Cas A: comparison to abundances from 1D core-collapse supernova models and evidence for Carbon-Oxygen shell mergers

Luca Boccioli, Lorenzo Roberti, Chris L Fryer +3

The merger between the carbon (C) and oxygen (O) shells hours to days before the collapse of a massive star significantly changes its nucleosynthesis, which is reflected in the ele…

Strontium-84 Enrichments in Presolar Grains Provide First Evidence of p-process Nucleosynthesis in Core-collapse Supernovae

Ishita Pal, Manavi Jadhav, Danielle Z. Shulaker +9

This study reports detection of rare p-process isotopes within presolar grains. Presolar grains are relic dust grains from dying stars. These microscopic dust particles are found i…

Molybdenum and ruthenium in the Galactic disk: A closer look at their nucleosynthesis components

Tamara Mishenina, Teresa Kurtukian-Nieto, Tatiana Gorbaneva +3

The stellar origin of the elements molybdenum (Mo, Z=42) and ruthenium (Ru, Z=44) is still a matter of debate. Studying their abundances provides valuable insights into nucleosynth…

Investigating Phosphorus Abundances in a Sample of APOGEE-2 Bulge Globular Clusters

Beatriz Barbuy, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Morgan S. Camargo +9

Phosphorus enhanced (P-rich; [P/Fe] > 0.8) giants have been found among mildly metal-poor fiels stars, but in only one star in a globular cluster (GC), M4 (NGC 6121). Also, in a sa…

Chemical abundance inventory in phosphorus-rich stars

Maren Brauner, Thomas Masseron, Marco Pignatari +1

We provide an overview of the latest advances in the study of phosphorus-rich stars, covering their detailed chemical abundance analyses and innovative mining approaches. Following…

Looking for imprints of the first stellar generations in metal-poor bulge field stars

C. Siqueira-Mello, C. Chiappini, B. Barbuy +9

Context. Efforts to look for signatures of the first stars have concentrated on metal-poor halo objects. However, the low end of the bulge metallicity distribution has been shown t…

New insights on Ba over-abundance in open clusters. Evidence for the intermediate neutron-capture process at play?

T. Mishenina, M. Pignatari, G. Carraro +6

Recently an increasing number of studies were devoted to measure the abundances of neutron-capture elements heavier than iron in stars belonging to Galactic Open Clusters (OCs). OC…
