Constraining Nucleosynthesis in Two CEMP Progenitors Using Fluorine
(2020-11-01)
We present new fluorine abundance estimations in two carbon enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, HE 1429-0551 and HE 1305+0007. HE 1429-0551 is also enriched in slow neutron-capture process (s-process) elements, a CEMP-s, and ...
Exploring the robustness of Keplerian signals to the removal of active and telluric features
(2020-10-22)
We examine the influence of activity- and telluric-induced radial velocity signals on high resolution spectra taken with an iodine absorption cell. We exclude 2 Angstrom spectral chunks containing active and telluric lines ...
VVVX-Gaia Discovery of a Low Luminosity Globular Cluster in the Milky Way Disk
(2020-10-22)
Milky Way globular clusters (MW GCs) are difficult to identify at low Galactic latitudes because of high differential extinction and heavy star crowding. The new deep near-IR images and photometry from the VISTA Variables ...
Cosmic Rates of Black Hole Mergers and Pair-Instability Supernovae from Chemically Homogeneous Binary Evolution
(2020-10-16)
During the first three observing runs of the Advanced gravitational-wave detector network, the LIGO/Virgo collaboration detected several black hole binary (BHBH) mergers. As the population of detected BHBH mergers grows, ...
Standing on the shoulders of giants : New mass and distance estimates for Betelgeuse through combined evolutionary, asteroseismic, and hydrodynamical simulations with MESA
(2020-10-13)
We conduct a rigorous examination of the nearby red supergiant Betelgeuse by drawing on the synthesis of new observational data and three different modeling techniques. Our observational results include the release of new, ...
Increasing the census of L and T dwarfs in wide binary and multiple systems using Dark Energy Survey DR1 and Gaia DR2 data
(2020-10-09)
We present the discovery of 255 binary and six multiple system candidates with wide (> 5") separation composed by L or T dwarfs companions to stars, plus nine double brown dwarf systems. The sample of brown dwarf candidates ...
The GALAH Survey : Non-LTE departure coefficients for large spectroscopic surveys
(2020-10-06)
Massive sets of stellar spectroscopic observations are rapidly becoming available and these can be used to determine the chemical composition and evolution of the Galaxy with unprecedented precision. One of the major ...
Small scale star formation as revealed by VVVX galactic cluster candidates
(2020-10-02)
We report a search and analysis of obscured cluster candidates in the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey area encompassing the region between 229.4 < l <295.2 and -4.3 < b <4.4 of the ...
Discovery of a mid-infrared protostellar outburst of exceptional amplitude
(2020-09-23)
We report the discovery of a mid-infrared outburst in a Young Stellar Object (YSO) with an amplitude close to 8 mag at lambda ~ 4.6 microns. WISEA J142238.82-611553.7 is one of 23 highly variable WISE sources discovered ...
The Origin of Elements from Carbon to Uranium
(2020-09-15)
To reach a deeper understanding of the origin of elements in the periodic table, we construct Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for all stable elements from C (A = 12) to U (A = 238) from first principles, i.e., ...
