unVEil the darknesS of The gAlactic buLgE (VESTALE)
G. Bono, M. Dall'Ora, M. Fabrizio +55
The main aim of this experiment is to provide a complete census of old (t > 10 Gyr, RR Lyrae, type II Cepheids, red horizontal branch), intermediate age (red clump, Miras) and youn…
Spectral lines in the CaII triplet region for RAVE DR6 chemical abundance pipeline
Guillaume Guiglion, Cristina Chiappini, Marica Valentini +1
The purpose of this research note is to present a reliable list of clean spectral lines in the Calcium Triplet region at medium resolution ~7500, for chemical abundance analysis, i…
2D chemical evolution model: the impact of galactic disc asymmetries on azimuthal chemical abundance variations
E. Spitoni, G. Cescutti, I. Minchev +5
Galactic disc chemical evolution models generally ignore azimuthal surface density variation that can introduce chemical abundance azimuthal gradients. Recent observations, however…
The R-Process Alliance: First Release from the Northern Search for r-Process Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Halo
Charli M. Sakari, Vinicius M. Placco, Elizabeth M. Farrell +26
This paper presents the detailed abundances and r-process classifications of 126 newly identified metal-poor stars as part of an ongoing collaboration, the R-Process Alliance. The…
The escape speed curve of the Galaxy obtained from Gaia DR2 implies a heavy Milky Way
Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Ismael Carrillo +6
We measure the escape speed curve of the Milky Way based on the analysis of the velocity distribution of counter-rotating halo stars from the Gaia DR2. The distances we…
Masses and ages for metal-poor stars: a pilot program combining asteroseismology and high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up of RAVE halo stars
M. Valentini, C. Chiappini, D. Bossini +10
Very metal-poor halo stars are the best candidates for being among the oldest objects in our Galaxy. Samples of halo stars with age determination and detailed chemical composition…
