Additional Evidence for the Existence of a Primordial Disk System

Shuai Xu, Haibo Yuan, Bowen Huang +7

The origin of very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] ) stars on planar orbits has been the subject of great attention since their first discovery. However, prior to the release of…

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy with IGRINS-2 for Studying Multiple Stellar Populations in Globular Clusters

Dongwook Lim, Young-Wook Lee, Sol Yun +53

Recent advancements in near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have opened new opportunities for studying multiple stellar populations in globular clusters (GCs), particularly for newly d…

A Dynamically Distinct Stellar Population in the Leading Arm of the Sagittarius Stream

Gwibong Kang, Young Sun Lee, Young Kwang Kim +1

We present a chemical and dynamical analysis of the leading arm (LA) and trailing arm (TA) of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream, as well as for the Sgr dwarf galaxy core (SC), using red…

Search for Extremely Metal-Poor Stars with GEMINI-N/GRACES I. Chemical-Abundance Analysis

Miji Jeong, Young Sun Lee, Timothy C. Beers +5

We present stellar parameters and abundances of 13 elements for 18 very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] -2.0) stars, selected as extremely metal-poor (EMP; [Fe/H] -3.0) candidates…

Phase-space Properties and Chemistry of the Sagittarius Stellar Stream Down to the Extremely Metal-poor () Regime

Guilherme Limberg, Anna B. A. Queiroz, Hélio D. Perottoni +6

In this work, we study the phase-space and chemical properties of Sagittarius (Sgr) stream, the tidal tails produced by the ongoing destruction of Sgr dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galax…

Chemodynamical Analysis of Metal-rich High-eccentricity Stars in the Milky Way's Disk

Ayeon Lee, Young Sun Lee, Young Kwang Kim +2

We present a chemodynamical analysis of 11,562 metal-rich, high-eccentricity halo-like main-sequence (MS) stars, which has been referred to as the Splash or Splashed Disk, selected…

Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor star candidates from BP/RP Spectra in DR3

Madeline Lucey, Nariman Al Kharusi, Keith Hawkins +6

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars comprise almost a third of stars with [Fe/H] < --2, although their origins are still poorly understood. It is highly likely that one sub-cla…

On the inconsistency of [C/Fe] abundances and the fractions of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars among various stellar surveys

Anke Arentsen, Vinicius M. Placco, Young Sun Lee +4

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are a unique resource for Galactic archaeology because they probe the properties of the First Stars, early chemical evolution and binary int…

Determination of Sodium Abundance Ratio from Low-Resolution Stellar Spectra and Its Applications

Jae-Rim Koo, Young Sun Lee, Hye-Jin Park +2

We present a method to determine sodium-abundance ratios ([Na/Fe]) using the Na I D doublet lines in low-resolution ( 2000) stellar spectra. As stellar Na I D lines are ble…

Dynamically Tagged Groups of Metal-Poor Stars from the Best \& Brightest Survey

Derek Shank, Timothy C. Beers, Vinicius M. Placco +9

Orbital characteristics based on Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometric parameters are analyzed for metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] ) compiled from the Best B…

The age structure of the Milky Way's halo

D. Carollo, T. C. Beers, V. M. Placco +7

We present a new, high-resolution chronographic (age) map of the Milky Way's halo, based on the inferred ages of ~130,000 field blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars with photometry f…

The Fractions of Inner- and Outer-Halo Stars in the Local Volume

Deokkeun An, Timothy C. Beers, Rafael M. Santucci +4

We obtain a new determination of the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars within - kpc of the Sun, based on recently improved co-adds of photometry f…

Population Studies. XIII. A New Analysis of the Bidelman-MacConnell "Weak-Metal" Stars - Confirmation of Metal-Poor Stars in the Thick Disk of the Galaxy

Timothy C. Beers, John E. Norris, Vinicius M. Placco +4

A new set of very high signal-to-noise (S/N > 100/1), medium-resolution (R~3000) optical spectra have been obtained for 302 of the candidate "weak-metal" stars selected by Bidelman…
