High-Precision Near-Infrared Abundances of Solar Analogs in the YJ Bands

Noriyuki Matsunaga, Takuji Tsujimoto, Daisuke Taniguchi +12

We present a near-infrared abundance analysis of 46 solar analogs with known ages, observed with the WINERED WIDE-mode spectrograph at a resolution of . Using an e…

Solar twins in Gaia DR3 GSP-Spec II. Age distribution and its implications for the Sun's migration

Takuji Tsujimoto, Daisuke Taniguchi, Alejandra Recio-Blanco +2

Solar twins are among the most powerful tracers of Galactic disk evolution owing to their unique property of sharing nearly solar metallicities ([Fe/H] ~ 0) while spanning a wide r…

An Ultra-Faint, Chemically Primitive Galaxy Forming in the Reionization Era

Kimihiko Nakajima, Masami Ouchi, Yuichi Harikane +9

The formation of the first stars and galaxies marked the onset of chemical enrichment, yet direct observations of such primordial systems remain elusive. Here we present James Webb…

On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes -- VIII. Early Formation of the Galactic Spheroid

G. Bono, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +54

We introduce a new photometric catalog of RR Lyrae variables (RRLs, 300,000) mainly based on data available in public datasets. We also present the largest and most homogeneo…

Solar twins in Gaia DR3 GSP-Spec I. Building a large catalog of Solar twins with ages

Daisuke Taniguchi, Patrick de Laverny, Alejandra Recio-Blanco +2

[Abbreviated] Context. Solar twins, stars whose stellar parameters (Teff, log g, and [M/H]) are very close to the Solar ones, offer a unique opportunity to investigate Galactic arc…

The VISCACHA survey XIV. Chemical evolution history of the SMC: The Southern Bridge Clusters

Sasi Saroon, B. Dias, T. Tsujimotto +18

The chemical evolution history of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is complex and is best understood through a comprehensive analysis of star clusters across its various regions. T…
