The Gaia-ESO Survey: open clusters in Gaia-DR1 - a way forward to stellar age calibration

S. Randich, E. Tognelli, R. Jackson +42

We describe the methodologies that, taking advantage of Gaia-DR1 and the Gaia-ESO Survey data, enable the comparison of observed open star cluster sequences with stellar evolutiona…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Churning through the Milky Way

M. R. Hayden, A. Recio-Blanco, P. de Laverny +29

We attempt to determine the relative fraction of stars that have undergone significant radial migration by studying the orbital properties of metal-rich ([Fe/H]) stars within…

Ages and heavy element abundances from very metal-poor stars in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy

Camilla Juul Hansen, Mariam El-Souri, Lorenzo Monaco +4

Sagittarius (Sgr) is a massive disrupted dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the Milky Way halo that has undergone several stripping events. Previous chemical studies were restricted mainly…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Matching Chemo-Dynamical Simulations to Observations of the Milky Way

B. B. Thompson, C. G. Few, M. Bergemann +39

The typical methodology for comparing simulated galaxies with observational surveys is usually to apply a spatial selection to the simulation to mimic the region of interest covere…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: double, triple and quadruple-line spectroscopic binary candidates

T. Merle, S. Van Eck, A. Jorissen +35

The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large spectroscopic survey that provides a unique opportunity to study the distribution of spectroscopic multiple systems among different populations…

The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations

D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79

Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…
