HR-GO II: chemical abundances of low- retrograde dynamically-tagged-groups: Revealing Thamnos as a very metal-poor substructure
Renjing Xie, Zhen Yuan, Haining Li +12
Milky Way halo substructures identified in dynamical space are known to suffer from contamination from the Milky Way in-situ stars, which makes their accreted origins uncertain. We…
Main-sequence Turnoff Stars as Probes of the Ancient Galactic Relic: Chemo-dynamical Analysis of a Pilot Sample
Renjing Xie, Haining Li, Ruizhi Zhang +5
The main-sequence turnoff (MSTO) stars well preserve the chemical properties where they were born, making them ideal tracers for studying the stellar population. We perform a detai…
Discovery of an Extremely r-process-enhanced Thin-disk Star with [Eu/H] = +0.78
Xiao-Jin Xie, Jianrong Shi, Hong-Liang Yan +9
Highly r-process-enhanced stars are rare and usually metal-poor ([Fe/H] < - 1.0), and mainly populate the Milky Way halo and dwarf galaxies. This study presents the discovery of a…
The Kinematic and Chemical Properties of the Close-in Planet Host Star 8 UMi
Huiling Chen, Yang Huang, Wei Zhu +11
A recent study by Hon et al. reported that a close-in planet around the red clump star, 8 UMi, should have been engulfed during the expansion phase of its parent star's evolution.…
