Solar and stellar photospheric abundances

Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2016
The determination of photospheric abundances in late-type stars from spectroscopic observations is a well-established field, built on solid theoretical foundations.

SP_Ace: a new code to derive stellar parameters and elemental abundances [PDF]

, 2015
Aims: We developed a new method of estimating the stellar parameters Teff, log g, [M/H], and elemental abundances. This method was implemented in a new code, SP_Ace (Stellar Parameters And Chemical abundances Estimator).

On the Hunt for the Origins of the Orphan–Chenab Stream: Detailed Element Abundances with APOGEE and Gaia

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Stellar streams in the Galactic halo are useful probes of the assembly of galaxies like the Milky Way. Many tidal stellar streams that have been found in recent years are accompanied by a known progenitor globular cluster or dwarf galaxy.

Theoretical Predictions of Surface Light Element Abundances in Protostellar and Pre-Main Sequence Phase

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Theoretical prediction of surface stellar abundances of light elements–lithium, beryllium, and boron–represents one of the most interesting open problems in astrophysics.

Intriguing Revelations from Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
This is a report on some highlights of research on the rare light elements, lithium (Li), beryllium (Be), and boron (B), that were presented at my Henry Norris Russell Lecture in 2020 January.

The Missing Link: Testing Galactic Chemical Evolution Models with the First Multi-isotopic Abundances in Solar Twin Stars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the first isotopic abundances of both ^13 CO and C ^18 O in solar twin stars and test the results against several galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models with different nucleosynthesis prescriptions.

Constraining planet structure from stellar chemistry: the cases of CoRoT-7, Kepler-10, and Kepler-93 [PDF]

, 2015
We explore the possibility that the stellar relative abundances of different species can be used to constrain the bulk abundances of known transiting rocky planets.
