Massive first star binaries as new tools for Galactic archaeology [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
Binary systems are important probes of the origin of stars with peculiar chemical features through the interactions between two stars. We have studied the evolution of a metal-free massive binary after the collision of the supernova ejecta with a low ...

The Far Side of the Galactic Bar/Bulge Revealed through Semi-regular Variables

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The Galactic bulge is critical to our understanding of the Milky Way. However, due to the lack of reliable stellar distances, the structure and kinematics of the bulge/bar beyond the Galactic center have remained largely unexplored.

The Chemical Enrichment of the Milky Way Disk Evaluated Using Conditional Abundances

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Chemical abundances of Milky Way disk stars are empirical tracers of its enrichment history. However, they capture joint-information that is valuable to disentangle.

The Stellar Abundances and Galactic Evolution Survey (SAGES). I. General Description and the First Data Release (DR1)

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Stellar Abundances and Galactic Evolution Survey (SAGES) of the northern sky is a specifically designed multiband photometric survey aiming to provide reliable stellar parameters with accuracy comparable to those from low-resolution optical spectra ...

Modeling the Chemical Enrichment History of the Bulge Fossil Fragment Terzan 5

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Terzan 5 is a heavily obscured stellar system located in the inner Galaxy. It has been postulated to be a stellar relic, a bulge fossil fragment witnessing the complex history of the assembly of the Milky Way bulge.

The SAGA so far: reading the history of the Galaxy with asteroseismology

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Asteroseismology has the capability of delivering stellar properties which would otherwise be inaccessible, such as radii, masses and thus ages of stars.

Unveiling the Structure and Dynamics of Red Giants With Asteroseismology

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
The Kepler mission observed many thousands of red giants. The long time series, some as long as the mission itself, have allowed us to study red giants with unprecedented detail. Given that red giants are intrinsically luminous, and hence can be observed

Model Choice Matters for Age Inference on the Red Giant Branch

The Astrophysical Journal
Galactic archaeology relies on accurate stellar parameters to reconstruct the Galaxy's history, including information on stellar ages. While the precision of data has improved significantly in recent years, stellar models used for age inference have not ...

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...
