Tracing the early Milky Way thin disc with the Gaia-ESO Survey
Carlos Viscasillas Vázquez, Sofia Randich, Riano Escate Giribaldi +3
The origin of metal-poor stars on thin-disc-like orbits remains an open question in Galactic archaeology and provides important constraints on the earliest phases of Milky Way disc…
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…
gr8stars II : judgement day for spectroscopic parameter model systematics
Alix Violet Freckelton, Annelies Mortier, Megan Bedell +18
Many areas of astrophysics, including exoplanetary studies, rely on precise and accurate stellar parameters. This demands that uncertainties on these parameters truly reflect all b…
Ariel stellar characterisation IV. Fundamental parameters of 18 hot stars in the Ariel mission candidate sample
H. Ramler, S. P. D. Borthakur, C. P. Folsom +16
The characterisation of exoplanetary systems depends on the accurate determination of host star parameters. The Ariel mission will probe the atmospheres of a statistically signific…
Planet-Host Stars Across the Galaxy in the 2040s
M. Tsantaki, K. Biazzo, F. Zahra Majidi +2
By the 2040s, the exoplanet field will have moved from the discovery of a few thousand planets to hundreds of thousands, thanks to Gaia DR5, TESS, PLATO, Roman, and their successor…
Transients as Determinants of Habitability
Fatemeh Zahra Majidi, Katia Biazzo, Maria Tsantaki +7
Stellar magnetic activity, manifested through spots (faculae and flares), fundamentally shapes the exoplanets' environments. For low-mass stars in particular, where most habitable-…
