The Gaia-ESO Survey: calibration strategy

E. Pancino, the Gaia-ESO Survey collaboration

The Gaia-ESO survey (GES) is now in its fifth and last year of observations, and has already produced tens of thousands of high-quality spectra of stars in all Milky Way components…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Lithium depletion in the Gamma Velorum cluster and inflated radii in low-mass pre-main-sequence stars

R. D. Jeffries, R. J. Jackson, E. Franciosini +25

We show that non-magnetic models for the evolution of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars *cannot* simultaneously describe the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) and the pattern of lithium d…

The Gaia-ESO survey: Hydrogen lines in red giants directly trace stellar mass

Maria Bergemann, Aldo Serenelli, Ralph Schoenrich +27

Red giant stars are perhaps the most important type of stars for Galactic and extra-galactic archaeology: they are luminous, occur in all stellar populations, and their surface tem…

The Gaia-ESO survey: Metal-rich bananas in the bulge

Angus A. Williams, N. W. Evans, Matthew Molloy +25

We analyse the kinematics of giant stars in the direction of the Galactic bulge, extracted from the Gaia-ESO survey in the region $-10^\circ \lesssim \ell \lesssim 10^\…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Probes of the inner disk abundance gradient

H. R. Jacobson, E. D. Friel, L. Jilkova +41

The nature of the metallicity gradient inside the solar circle (R_GC < 8 kpc) is poorly understood, but studies of Cepheids and a small sample of open clusters suggest that it stee…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Inhibited extra mixing in two giants of the open cluster Trumpler 20?

R. Smiljanic, E. Franciosini, S. Randich +32

We report the discovery of two Li-rich giants, with A(Li) ~ 1.50, in an analysis of a sample of 40 giants of the open cluster Trumpler 20 (with turnoff mass ~ 1.8 Msun). The cluste…
