Wide binaries without viable bound Newtonian orbits
L. Pasquini, R. Saglia, F. Patat +7
Context. Wide binaries offer a unique opportunity to test gravity in the low acceleration regime, where deviations from Newtonian dynamics may appear. Aims. We use high-resolution…
Evidence for multiple crossings and stripping of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage across the Milky Way
L. Berni, M. Palla, L. Magrini +1
The accretion of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage (GES) onto the Milky Way (MW) is one of the most prominent features of the Galactic halo revealed by the combination of the Gaia satellite a…
Tracing the Early Milky Way with Globular Clusters: The Diagnostic Power of Neutron-Capture Elements
J. Schiappacasse-Ulloa, L. Berni, S. Lucatello +3
Globular clusters (GCs) are fundamental tracers of the early assembly of the Milky Way (MW). They formed in diverse environments -- including both our Galaxy and dwarf galaxies --…
Exploring substructures in the Milky Way halo Neural networks applied to Gaia and APOGEE DR 17
L. Berni, L. Spina, L. Magrini +3
The identification of stellar structures in the Galactic halo, including stellar streams and merger remnants, often relies on the dynamics of their constituent stars. However, this…
Neutron-Capture Element Signatures in Globular Clusters: Insights from the Gaia-ESO Survey
J. Schiappacasse-Ulloa, L. Magrini, S. Lucatello +8
Globular clusters (GCs) are key to understanding the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. While the abundances of light and Fe-peak elements in GCs have been widely studied, inve…
