Gaia DR3 high radial velocity stars: Genuine fast-moving objects or outliers?
D. Katz, A. Gómez, E. Caffau +39
The third Gaia data release includes 33.8 million radial velocity measurements, extending to a magnitude of G_RVS = 14. To reach this magnitude limit, spectra were processed down t…
Unlocking the mystery of Sr synthesis in the early Galaxy through analysis of barium isotopes in very metal-poor stars
T. M. Sitnova, L. Lombardo, L. I. Mashonkina +8
We determine the contributions of the rapid (r) and slow (s) neutron capture processes to the Ba isotope mixture, along with Ba, Eu, and Sr NLTE abundances, in a sample of very met…
MINCE III. Detailed chemical analysis of the UVES sample
F. Lucertini, L. Sbordone, E. Caffau +14
Context. The MINCE (Measuring at Intermediate Metallicity Neutron-Capture Elements) project aims to provide high quality neutron-capture abundances measurements in several hundred…
The Pristine survey. XXVI. Chemical abundances of subgiant stars of the extremelymetal-poor stream C-19
P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau, P. François +17
Context: The C-19 stellar stream is the most metal-poor stream known to date. While its width and velocity dispersion indicate a dwarf galaxy origin, its metallicity spread and abu…
Chemical Evolution of R-process Elements in Stars (CERES). III. Chemical abundances of neutron capture elements from Ba to Eu
L. Lombardo, C. J. Hansen, F. Rizzuti +11
The chemical abundances of elements such as barium and the lanthanides are essential to understand the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the early Universe as well as the contri…
