Tracing outer planetary systems through white dwarf pollution in wide binaries
Carolina Lizana-Vidal, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Laura K. Rogers +5
White dwarf (WD) atmospheric metal pollution provides strong evidence for the presence of remnant planetary material and it can be used as an indirect tracer of outer planetary sys…
Disentangling chemical evolution histories with phylogenetic trees
Rebeca Canales, Paula Jofré, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +6
Chemical abundances encode the fossil record of galaxy evolution in a complex and diverse way that requires innovative approaches to reconstruct galactic histories. We investigate…
Gaia FGK Benchmark Stars: Impact of Spectral Resolution on Stellar Abundances
Ivanna Hernández-Araya, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Paula Jofré +5
In the era of large Milky Way spectroscopic surveys, calibrating and standardizing stellar parameters and abundance measurements is crucial. The Gaia benchmark stars (GBS) are key…
Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate
Brooke Kotten, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Ricardo Yarza +11
Theoretical models predict that subgiants within a narrow mass regime can retain detectable lithium enrichment signatures from planetary engulfment. We test this prediction using T…
