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 st…

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…
High-Resolution Dayside Spectroscopy of WASP-189b: Detection of Iron during the GHOST/Gemini South System Verification Run
Emily K. Deibert, Adam B. Langeveld, Mitchell E. Young +30
With high equilibrium temperatures and tidally locked rotation, ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are unique laboratories within which to probe extreme atmospheric physics and chemistry. I…
Probing the early Milky Way with GHOST spectra of an extremely metal-poor star in the Galactic disk
Anya Dovgal, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +31
Pristine_183.6849+04.8619 (P1836849) is an extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]) star on a prograde orbit confined to the Galactic disk. Such stars are rare and may have their…
SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1: An R-Process Enhanced, Actinide-Boost, Extremely Metal-Poor star observed with GHOST
Vinicius M. Placco, Felipe Almeida-Fernandes, Erika M. Holmbeck +33
We report on the chemo-dynamical analysis of SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1, an extremely metal-poor halo star enhanced in elements formed by the rapid neutron-capture process. This sta…
DRAGONS -- A Quick Overview
Kathleen Labrie, Chris Simpson, Ricardo Cardenes +10
DRAGONS (Data Reduction for Astronomy from Gemini Observatory North and South) is a platform for the reduction and processing of astronomical data. The Python-based, open-source pa…
