Calibration of the [C/N] and [Y/Mg] chemical clocks with asteroseismic ages from the TESS space mission
E. PakÅ¡tienÄ, G. TautvaiÅ¡ienÄ, V. Bagdonas +8
Context. Stellar ages are typically very difficult to estimate for field stars. New empirical methods, based on abundance ratios of chemical elements, are emerging and need to be c…
Detection of hot subdwarf binaries and sdB stars using machine learning methods and a large sample of Gaia XP spectra
M. Ambrosch, C. Viscasillas Vázquez, E. Solano +10
Hot subdwarfs (hot sds) are compact, evolved stars near the Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) and are key to understanding stellar evolution and the ultraviolet excess in galaxies. W…
Milky Way disc & Bulge in situ populations: ESO white paper - Expanding horizons call
M. Bergemann, G. Kordopatis, G. Casali +11
The formation and evolution of the Milky Way's disc, bar, and bulge remain fundamentally limited by the lack of a contiguous, Galaxy-wide, high-precision chemo-dynamical map. Key o…
Mapping the Ages of Stars with Chemistry
Carlos Viscasillas Vázquez, Giada Casali, Laura Magrini +11
Chemical clocks, based on age-sensitive stellar abundance ratios, offer a powerful and scalable approach to reconstruct the formation history of the Milky Way. This white paper out…
Carbon and nitrogen as indicators of stellar evolution and age. A homogeneous sample of 44 open clusters from the Gaia-ESO Survey
G. TautvaiÅ¡ienÄ, A. Drazdauskas, Å . Mikolaitis +11
Context. Low- and intermediate-mass giants undergo a complex chemical evolution that has yet to be observationally probed. The influence of core helium flash on the chemical compos…
The Galactic inner spiral arms revealed by the Gaia ESO Survey chemical abundances. Metallicity and [Mg/Fe] ratios
C. Viscasillas Vázquez, L. Magrini, E. Spitoni +5
Recent observational advances, such as Gaia DR3 GSP-Spec, have highlighted the potential of chemical abundances in tracing and revealing the structure of spiral arms. Building on t…
