Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) II. Unveiling the formation and evolution of the kinematically selected Thick and Thin Discs
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +16
Understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way's thin and thick discs is crucial to galaxy formation studies. We derive age and metallicity distributions of the kinemat…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) -- III. Age and metallicity distribution of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus stars near the Sun
Yllari K. González-Koda, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +14
Context. Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus is considered the last major merger that contributed to the formation of the Milky Way. Its remnants dominate the nearby accreted stellar halo of th…
Unevolved Li-rich stars at low metallicity: a possible formation pathway through novae
Tadafumi Matsuno, Alex Kemp, Ataru Tanikawa +7
A small fraction of low-mass stars have been found to have anomalously high Li abundances. Although it has been suggested that mixing during the red giant branch phase can lead to…
Chemical characterisation of small substructures in the local stellar halo
Emma Dodd, Tadafumi Matsuno, Amina Helmi +5
The local stellar halo of the Milky Way is known to contain the debris from accreted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, in the form of stellar streams and over-densities in the…
