The chemical DNA of the Magellanic Clouds -- VII. The lithium abundance in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the discovery of 4 lithium-rich stars
A. Mucciarelli, M. Palla, C. T. Nguyen +7
Measuring lithium abundance in galaxies beyond the Milky Way (MW) remains a challenging task. In these systems, only stars close to the tip of the red giant branch (RGB) are suffic…

The chemical DNA of the Magellanic Clouds IV. Unveiling extreme element production: the Eu abundance in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Samuele Anoardo, Alessio Mucciarelli, Marco Palla +3
In this study we investigate the chemical enrichment of the rapid neutron-capture process in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We measure [Eu/Fe] abundance ratios in 209 giant star…
