The variable mass-loss in low-mass red giant stars: Chromospheric motion across stellar evolution in 47 Tuc

Ian Baeza, L. Monaco, H. Frelijj +8

Mass-Loss (ML) is a critical process that remains poorly understood despite its broad implications across astrophysics. Our current knowledge is insufficient to reproduce ML consis…

Something new under the Sun: A magnetically driven CH/CN anti-correlation

Y. Momany, L. Monaco, S. Villanova +11

Spectroscopic monitoring surveys have shown that the magnetic cycle alters the photospheric structure of the Sun, perturbing the formation of molecular lines. In parallel, the stud…

C and N abundances in globular clusters. I. The case of 47 Tuc and the effect of the first dredge-up

S. Villanova, L. Monaco, Y. Momany +2

Globular clusters exhibit star-to-star chemical variations, traceable through both photometric and spectroscopic data. In this study, we investigate chemical variations in the glob…

Simulating the Legacy Survey of Space and Time stellar content with TRILEGAL

Piero Dal Tio, Giada Pastorelli, Alessandro Mazzi +19

We describe a large simulation of the stars to be observed by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The simulation is based on the TRILEGAL code, wh…

Curiouser and curiouser: the peculiar chemical composition of the Li/Na-rich star in Omega Centauri

A. Mucciarelli, L. Monaco, P. Bonifacio +5

We present a multi-instrument spectroscopic analysis of the unique Li/Na-rich giant star 25664 in Omega Centauri using spectra acquired with FLAMES-GIRAFFE, X-SHOOTER, UVES and HAR…

A Plague of Magnetic Spots Among the Hot Stars of Globular Clusters

Yazan Al Momany, Simone Zaggia, Marco Montalto +15

Six decades and counting, the formation of hot ~20,000-30,000 K Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in Galactic Globular Clusters remains one of the most elusive quests in stella…
