The chemical composition of the oldest nearby open cluster Ruprecht 147

Angela Bragaglia, Xiaoting Fu, Alessio Mucciarelli +2

Rup147 is the closest old open cluster, with a distance of less than 300 pc and an age of about 2.5Gyr. It is therefore well suited for testing stellar evolution models and for obt…

Deep secrets of intermediate-mass giants and supergiants: Models with rotation seem to overestimate mixing effects on the surface abundances of C, N, and Na

R. Smiljanic, P. Donati, A. Bragaglia +2

Recent observational results have demonstrated an increase in the surface Na abundance that correlates with stellar mass for red giants between 2 and 3 Msun. This trend supports ev…
