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., ...
CHIMPS2 : Survey description and $^{12}$CO emission in the Galactic Centre
(2020-09-10)
The latest generation of Galactic-plane surveys is enhancing our ability to study the effects of galactic environment upon the process of star formation. We present the first data from CO Heterodyne Inner Milky Way Plane ...
Molecular Cloud Cores with High Deuterium Fraction : Nobeyama Single-Pointing Survey
(2020-08-12)
We present the results of a single-pointing survey of 207 dense cores embedded in Planck Galactic Cold Clumps distributed in five different environments ($\lambda$ Orionis, Orion A, B, Galactic plane, and high latitudes) ...
The VVV Infrared Variability Catalog (VIVA-I)
(2020-08)
Thanks to the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey it is now possible to explore a large number of objects in those regions. This paper addresses the variability analysis of all VVV point sources having ...
The impact of unresolved magnetic spots on high precision radial velocity measurements
(2020-07-23)
The Doppler method of exoplanet detection has been extremely successful, but suffers from contaminating noise from stellar activity. In this work a model of a rotating star with a magnetic field based on the geometry of ...
The Gaia-ESO survey: the non-universality of the age-chemical-clocks-metallicity relations in the Galactic disc
(2020-07-21)
In the era of large spectroscopic surveys, massive databases of high-quality spectra provide tools to outline a new picture of our Galaxy. In this framework, an important piece of information is provided by our ability to ...
The Physics of Star Cluster Formation and Evolution
(2020-06-02)
Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact regions, stellar feedback is least ...
