The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements
Krishna Kanumalla, Michael R. Line, Martina Chiarella +75
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; K) enable simultaneous detection of volatile (ice-forming) and refractory (rock-forming) species in planetary atmospheres, provi…
The Actinide-Boost Star LAMOST J122216.85-063345.2: A Detailed R-process Abundance Study with Gemini-S/GHOST
Miji Jeong, Young Sun Lee, Vinicius M. Placco +15
We present a detailed chemical-abundance analysis of an actinide-boost ((Th/Dy) = -0.74) star, LAMOST J122216.85-063345.2 (J1222), a very metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -2.45) halo s…
Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors
Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31
GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…
An Early Look at the Performance of IGRINS-2 at Gemini-North with Application to the ultrahot Jupiter, WASP-33 b
Yeon-Ho Choi, Ueejeong Jeong, Jae-Joon Lee +56
Ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy enables precise molecular detections and velocity-resolved atmospheric dynamics, offering a distinct advantage over low-resolution methods…
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…
GHOST Reduced Data Products for the Gemini Observatory Community and Beyond
Vinicius M. Placco, David Herrera, Brian M. Merino +13
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini South started regular queue operations in early 2024, bringing a long-sought open-access capability to the astrono…
