Chemical Abundances in the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way: alpha-Element Trends and Their Similarities with the Inner Bulge
N. Ryde, G. Nandakumar, M. Schultheis +15
A chemical characterization of the Galactic Center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha-elements, such as Mg, Si, and Ca, serve as…
Abundances of iron-peak elements in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE
B. Barbuy, A. C. S. Friaça, H. Ernandes +22
Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge.…
Metallicity-dependent kinematics and orbits in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
F. Nogueras-Lara, N. Nieuwmunster, M. Schultheis +7
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat and dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way. Previous work has identified the presence of metal-rich and metal-poor stars in…
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143
The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…
A Wide Metallicity Range for Gyr-old Stars in the Nuclear Star Cluster
Brian Thorsbro, Rebecca Forsberg, Georges Kordopatis +6
We report metallicities for three Gyr-old stars in the Milky Way nuclear star cluster (NSC) using high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy. We derive effective temperatures…
A perspective on the Milky Way Bulge-Bar as seen from the neutron-capture elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE
J. V. Sales-Silva, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +28
This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of 2000 stars in the Galact…
