Lithium evolution in the Galactic thin disc from Main-Sequence and early Red-Giant-Branch stars
C. T. Nguyen, G. Cescutti, F. Matteucci +7
The role of novae as producers of galactic lithium has been suggested since the 1970s, and it has been reconsidered recently with the detection of Be in their outbursts. At the…
Probing the origins. II. Unravelling lithium depletion and stellar motion: Intrinsic stellar properties drive depletion, not kinematics
M. L. L. Dantas, R. Smiljanic, D. Romano +4
In Paper I, we classified a stellar sample from the thin disc with a broad range in metallicity as being churned outward or inward, or blurred/undisturbed. In this paper (Paper II)…
The Bulge Cluster Origin (BulCO) survey at the ESO-VLT: probing the early history of the Milky Way assembling. Design and first results in Liller1
F. R. Ferraro, L. Chiappino, A. Bartolomei +14
We present the scientific goals and the very first results of the Bulge Cluster Origin (BulCO) survey. This survey has been specifically designed to perform an unprecedented chemic…
The interplay between super-metallicity, lithium depletion, and radial migration in nearby stars
M. L. L. Dantas, R. Smiljanic, R. Boesso +4
We report the discovery of a peculiar set of old super-metal-rich dwarf stars with orbits of low eccentricity that reach a maximum height from the Galactic plane between 0.5…
