PySME v1.0: improved modelling of stellar spectra for survey-scale applications
Mingjie Jian, Nikolai Piskunov, Jeff Valenti +4
Stellar abundance analysis relies on flexible, high-performance spectral synthesis. To meet these needs, we present PySME v1.0, an updated Python implementation of Spectroscopy Mad…
Classical Cepheids in the Galactic thin disk I. Abundance gradients via non-local thermodynamic equilibrium spectral analysis
Antonino Nunnari, Valentina D'Orazi, Giuliana Fiorentino +23
Classical Cepheids (CCs) have long been considered excellent tracers of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way's young disk. We present a homogeneous, NLTE spectroscopic analysis…
Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG 23 IR elemental abundances of 114 giant stars in 41 Open Clusters
Shilpa Bijavara Seshashayana, Henrik Jönsson, Valentina D'Orazi +4
Open clusters have been extensively used as tracers of Galactic chemical evolution, as their constituent stars possess shared characteristics, including age, Galactocentric radius,…
The elderly among the oldest: new evidence for extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars
Valentina D'Orazi, Vittorio F. Braga, Giuseppe Bono +21
We performed a detailed spectroscopic analysis of three extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars, exploring uncharted territories at these low metallicities for this class of stars. Usi…
