NGC 6791: a probable bulge cluster without multiple populations

Sandro Villanova, Giovanni Carraro, Douglas Geisler +2

NGC 6791 is a unique stellar cluster, key to our understanding of both the multiple stellar population phenomenon and the evolution and assembly of the Galaxy. However, despite man…

When Nature Tries to Trick Us

Henri M. J. Boffin, David Jones, Roger Wesson +7

Bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) are thought to result from binary star interactions and, indeed, tens of binary central stars of PNe have been found, in particular using photometri…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: the origin and evolution of s-process elements

L. Magrini, L. Spina, S. Randich +45

Several works have found an increase of the abundances of the s-process neutron-capture elements in the youngest Galactic stellar populations, giving important constraints to stell…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: properties of newly discovered Li-rich giants

R. Smiljanic, E. Franciosini, A. Bragaglia +41

We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT data. Atmospheric parameter…

The Gaia-ESO survey: impact of extra-mixing on C- and N-abundances of giant stars

N. Lagarde, C. Reylé, A. C. Robin +30

The GES survey using FLAMES at the VLT has obtained high-resolution UVES spectra for a large number of giant stars, allowing a determination of the abundances of the key chemical e…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Evidence of atomic diffusion in M67?

C. Bertelli Motta, A. Pasquali, J. Richer +37

Investigating the chemical homogeneity of stars born from the same molecular cloud at virtually the same time is very important for our understanding of the chemical enrichment of…
