Radial Velocity Orbital Solutions for Candidate Black Hole and Neutron Star Binary Systems in the Gaia Data Release 3 Catalog
Joshua D. Simon, Casey Y. Lam, Kareem El-Badry +8
We present spectroscopic followup observations of binary systems from the Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) binary catalog that were selected to have large enough mass functions for their…
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…
Giant Planets and Eccentric Orbits Are Common Around Galactic Thick Disc Stars
Thiago Ferreira, Jhon Yana Galarza, Henrique Reggiani +15
Planet formation in the Galactic thick disc is expected to be inefficient---low solid reservoirs, short disc lifetimes, and harsh irradiation environments should conspire to inhibi…
The R-Process Alliance: Exploring the cosmic scatter among ten r-process sites with stellar abundances
Mila Racca, Terese T. Hansen, Ian U. Roederer +11
The astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron, remains uncertain. The oldest, most metal-po…
