Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars, the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the Stellar IMF in the Early Universe

open access: yes, 2007
The characteristic mass of stars at early times may have been higher than today owing to the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This study proposes that (1) the testable predictions of this "CMB-IMF" hypothesis are an increase in the fraction of carbon ...

‘CELTIC BRITAIN’ IN PRE‐ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY, RECONSIDERED

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 446-461, November 2025.
Summary For forty years archaeologists have avoided referring to pre‐Roman Britain and its inhabitants as ‘Celtic’ on the grounds that contemporaries never described them as such. This is incorrect. The second‐century BC astronomer Hipparchus quotes Pytheas (c. 320 BC) as having referred to Britons as ‘Keltoi’.

[X/Fe] Marks the Spot: Mapping Chemical Azimuthal Variations in the Galactic Disk with APOGEE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Chemical cartography of the Galactic disk provides insights into its structure and assembly history over cosmic time. In this work, we use chemical cartography to explore chemical gradients and azimuthal substructure in the Milky Way disk with giant ...

A Multifaceted Spatial Analysis of Tomb Distribution in Blemmyan Berenike (Eastern Desert of Egypt)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 777-795, October/December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study examines the spatial and visual organisation of tombs in the post–Roman Berenike located in Egypt's Eastern Desert. Archaeological surveys, remote sensing, geophysical methods, excavations and GIS‐based analyses are used for a comprehensive understanding of the spatial patterns and cultural significance behind the positions and ...

Cosmological Simulations of Stellar Halos with Gaia Sausage–Enceladus Analogs: Two Sausages, One Bun?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observations of the Milky Way’s stellar halo find that it is predominantly comprised of a radially biased population of stars, dubbed the Gaia Sausage–Enceladus, or GSE.

Tracing Back a Second-generation Star Stripped from Terzan 5 by the Galactic Bar

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The Galactic bulge hosts the Milky Way’s oldest stars, possibly coming from disrupted globular clusters (GCs) or the bulge’s primordial building blocks, making these stars witnesses to the Galaxy’s early chemical enrichment.

Where are the Population III Star Relics in the Simulated Milky Way Analogs?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using six Milky Way analogs with two different numerical resolutions from the Auriga simulation, we investigate the total mass, spatial distribution, and kinematics of the Population III (Pop III) star relics in the Milky Way analogs at z = 0.

Massive stars: stellar models and stellar yields, impact on Galactic Archaeology

open access: yes, 2017
The physics of massive stars depends (at least) on convection, mass loss by stellar winds, rotation, magnetic fields and multiplicity. We briefly discuss the impact of the first three processes on the stellar yields trying to identify some guidelines for

A Detailed Chemical Analysis of the Red Giant Orbiting Gaia BH3: From Lithium to Thorium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Preliminary astrometric data from the fourth data release of the Gaia mission revealed a 33 M _⊙ dark companion to a metal-poor red giant star, deemed Gaia BH3.
