Modelling s-process chemical clocks: insights from high-precision Kepler data

G. Casali, M. Molero

We present Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for the chemical clocks [Zr/Ti] and [Ce/Ti], tracing first- and second-peak s-process nucleosynthesis, and compare them with a h…

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…

Mapping the Ages of Stars with Chemistry

Carlos Viscasillas Vázquez, Giada Casali, Laura Magrini +11

Chemical clocks, based on age-sensitive stellar abundance ratios, offer a powerful and scalable approach to reconstruct the formation history of the Milky Way. This white paper out…

Rubidium Abundances in Cool Giants from High-Resolution H-band Spectra: A New Diagnostic for Galactic Chemical Evolution

Nils Ryde, Jess Kocher, Govind Nandakumar +6

The Galactic Center and inner disk of the Milky Way contain complex stellar populations obscured by heavy dust extinction. To study their chemical composition, high-resolution near…

Shaping Galactic Habitability: the impact of stellar migration and gas giants

E. Spitoni, M. Palla, L. Magrini +9

In exoplanet research, the focus is increasingly on identifying Earth analogs, planets similar in density and habitability potential. As the number of rocky exoplanets grows, paral…

Europium, we have a problem. Modelling r-process enrichment across Local Group galaxies

Marco Palla, Marta Molero, Donatella Romano +1

Context: Europium (Eu) serves as a crucial tracer to understand the origin of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) elements. An extensive effort was made in the last decade to…

Modelling chemical clocks -- Theoretical evidences of the space and time evolution of [s/alpha] in the Galactic disc with Gaia-ESO survey

Marta Molero, Laura Magrini, Marco Palla +6

Chemical clocks based on [s-process elements/alpha-elements] ratios are widely used to estimate ages of Galactic stellar populations. However, the [s/alpha] vs. age relations are n…

Chemical Abundances in the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way: alpha-Element Trends and Their Similarities with the Inner Bulge

N. Ryde, G. Nandakumar, M. Schultheis +15

A chemical characterization of the Galactic Center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha-elements, such as Mg, Si, and Ca, serve as…

Mapping radial abundance gradients with Gaia-ESO open clusters: Evidence of recent gas accretion in the Milky Way disk

Marco Palla, Laura Magrini, Emanuele Spitoni +5

Context. Recent evidences from spectroscopic surveys point towards the presence of a metal-poor, young stellar population in the chemical thin disk. In this context, the investigat…

The AMBRE Project: Lead abundance in Galactic stars

G. Contursi, P. de Laverny, A. Recio-Blanco +4

The chemical evolution of neutron capture elements in the Milky Way is still a matter of debate. Although more and more studies investigate their chemical behaviour, there is still…

A Census of Sun's Ancestors and their Contributions to the Solar System Chemical Composition

F. Fiore, F. Matteucci, E. Spitoni +4

In this work we compute the rates and numbers of different types of stars and phenomena (supernovae, novae, white dwarfs, merging neutron stars, black holes) that contributed to th…
