A Test of FeH Line Parameters using DR19 APOGEE spectra of Benchmark M Dwarfs

Anderson Silva-Andrade, Diogo Souto, Katia Cunha +9

Recent studies have suggested a mismatch of up to 0.20 dex between iron abundances derived from Fe I and FeH lines in the H-band spectra of M dwarfs, and in this work we investigat…

Mapping the Milky Way with Gaia Bp/Rp spectra-IV: the broken and asymmetric density profile of the stellar disk traced by a large sample of red clumps

Wenbo Wu, Yuqin Chen, Jianhui Lian +10

This study explores the density profile of the stellar disk, radially and azimuthally, based on approximately 8.4 million red clump stars selected from Gaia Bp/Rp spectra. After co…

A Tale of Two Origins: In-Situ versus Accreted Nitrogen-Rich Field Stars in the MW

Yi Qiao, Baitian Tang, José G. Fernández-Trincado +14

Spectroscopic surveys have identified significant numbers of metal-poor nitrogen-rich (N-rich) field stars. These stars are strong candidates for escapees from globular clusters (G…

The Binary Fraction of Stars in the Dwarf Galaxy Ursa Minor via Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Tian Qiu, Wenting Wang, Sergey Koposov +45

We utilize multi-epoch line-of-sight velocity measurements from the Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to estimate the binary fraction for member stars in…

Unveiling the nature of HE 0107-5240

E. Caffau, M. Steffen, P. Molaro +27

The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemic…

TOI-283 b: A transiting mini-Neptune in a 17.6-day orbit discovered with TESS and ESPRESSO

F. Murgas, E. Pallé, A. Suárez Mascareño +51

Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are missing from our Solar System, yet they appear to be the most abundant planetary types in our Galaxy. A detailed characterization of key planets…
