ACACIAS II: element abundances for 39 stars in the dwarf galaxy Sculptor

Anell Cornejo-Cárdenas, Sven Buder, Melissa K. Ness +1

Element abundances in nearby galaxies provide insights into their chemical enrichment histories and place the Milky Way and its neighbours in a broader cosmological context. These…

Stellar ages from [C/N] in giant stars: applicability and limitations

Giada Casali, Luca Casagrande, Fiorenzo Vincenzo +5

The [C/N] abundance ratio is a powerful age indicator for giant stars, enabling age estimates for spectroscopic samples where traditional methods are limited. We calibrate a multiv…

HARPS Abundances with Korg I: 22 Element Abundances for 426 Red Giant Stars

Sarah E. Aquilina, Melissa Ness, Adam J. Wheeler +1

Large stellar surveys have revealed the global abundance structure of the Milky Way, but small high-fidelity spectral samples offer a critical complement of nucleosynthetic depth.…

The GALAH Survey: Neutron-Capture Elemental Abundances for 350,000 Gaia-RVS spectra and the Chemodynamics of Accreted Structures

Pradosh Barun Das, Daniel B. Zucker, Aldo Mura-Guzmán +15

We present a comprehensive data-driven spectroscopic analysis of 357,415 red giant stars using Gaia DR3 Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra (8460-8700 A; ),…

The chemodynamical memory of a major merger in a NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue -- II. Were Splash stars heated or already born hot?

Sven Buder, Tobias Buck, Ása Skúladóttir +3

One of the most debated consequences of the Milky Way's last major merger is the so-called : stars with disc-like chemistry but halo-like kinematics, often interpreted as e…

The chemodynamical memory of a major merger in a NIHAO-UHD Milky Way analogue -- I. A golden thread through time and space

Sven Buder, Tobias Buck, Ása Skúladóttir +3

Understanding how past major mergers shaped the Milky Way's present-day structure is a key goal of Galactic archaeology. The Galaxy's chemical and dynamical structure retains the i…

Optical spectroscopic signatures of the red giant evolutionary state

Ella Xi Wang, Melissa Ness, Thomas Nordlander +17

Modern spectroscopic surveys output large data volumes. Theoretical models provide a means to transform the information encoded in these data to measurements of physical stellar pr…

C3PO IV: co-natal stars depleted in refractories are magnetically more active -- possible imprints of planets

Jie Yu, Yuan-Sen Ting, Luca Casagrande +14

Chemical abundance anomalies in twin stars have recently been considered tell-tale signs of interactions between stars and planets. While such signals are prevalent, their nature r…

Turbulent gas-rich discs at high redshift: origin of thick stellar discs through 3D 'baryon sloshing'

Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Thor Tepper-Garcia, Oscar Agertz +8

In response to recent observations from JWST and ALMA, we explore a new class of dynamically self-consistent models using our AGAMA/Ramses hydrodynamic N-body framework (Nexus) tha…

The GALAH Survey: Stellar parameters and abundances for 800,000 Gaia RVS spectra using GALAH DR4 and The Cannon

Pradosh Barun Das, Daniel B. Zucker, Gayandhi M. De Silva +15

Analysing stellar parameters and abundances from nearly one million Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra poses challenges due to the limited spectra…

The GALAH Survey: Data Release 4

S. Buder, J. Kos, E. X. Wang +36

The stars of the Milky Way carry the chemical history of our Galaxy in their atmospheres as they journey through its vast expanse. Like barcodes, we can extract the chemical finger…

ACACIAS I: Element abundance labels for 192 stars in the dwarf galaxy NGC 6822

Melissa K. Ness, J. Trevor Mendel, Sven Buder +8

The element abundances of local group galaxies connect enrichment mechanisms to galactic properties and serve to contextualise the Milky Way's abundance distributions. Individual s…

3D NLTE Lithium abundances for late-type stars in GALAH DR3

Ella Xi Wang, Thomas Nordlander, Sven Buder +7

Lithium's susceptibility to burning in stellar interiors makes it an invaluable tracer for delineating the evolutionary pathways of stars, offering insights into the processes gove…

Chemical Doppelgangers in GALAH DR3: the Distinguishing Power of Neutron-Capture Elements Among Milky Way Disk Stars

Catherine Manea, Keith Hawkins, Melissa K. Ness +3

The observed chemical diversity of Milky Way stars places important constraints on Galactic chemical evolution and the mixing processes that operate within the interstellar medium.…

The GALAH Survey: Observational Overview and Gaia DR1 companion

Sarah Martell, Sanjib Sharma, Sven Buder +30

The Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) Survey is a massive observational project to trace the Milky Way's history of star formation, chemical enrichment, stellar migration an…
