Leveraging HST with MUSE: II. Na-abundance variations in intermediate age star clusters

Ancient (>10 Gyr) globular clusters (GCs) show chemical abundance variations in the form of patterns among certain elements, e.g. N correlates with Na and anticorrelates with O. Recently, N abundance spreads have also been observed in massive star clusters ...

Lithium in red giant stars: Constraining non-standard mixing with large surveys in the Gaia era

Pierre North

Context. Li is extensively known to be a good tracer of non-standard mixing processes occurring in stellar interiors. Aims. We present the results of a new large Li survey in red giant stars and combine it with surveys from the literature to probe the impa ...

Chromosome maps of young LMC clusters: an additional case of coeval multiple populations

Carmela Lardo

Recent studies have revealed that the multiple populations (MPs) phenomenon does not occur only in ancient and massive Galactic globular clusters (GCs), but it is also observed in external galaxies, where GCs sample a wide age range with respect to the Mil ...

The Hidden Past of M92: Detection and Characterization of a Newly Formed 17 degrees Long Stellar Stream Using the Canada-France Imaging Survey

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and orbit of a newly found stellar stream emanating from the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). This stream was discovered in an improved matched-filter map of the outer Galaxy, based on a "color-color-mag ...

Kinematic and metallicity properties of the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy

Pascale Jablonka

Context. Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental effects such as tidal and ram-pressure stripping should not be the main drivers of their evolution. Ai ...

The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all

Pascale Jablonka

Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to learn about the intrinsic characteristics of this class of objects. Aims. O ...

The Pristine survey - X. A large population of low-metallicity stars permeates the Galactic disc

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity stars are distributed as an isotropic, pressure-supported component since thes ...

The first observation of the decay B-0 -> D-0(D) over bar K-0(+)pi(-) is reported using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011, 2012 and 2016. The measurement is perform ...

Barium and related stars, and their white-dwarf companions

Pierre North, Conrad Johnston, Shreeya Sushil Shetye

Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This comp ...

Constant light element abundances suggest that the extended P1 in NGC 2808 is not a consequence of CNO-cycle nucleosynthesis

Carmela Lardo

Recent photometric results have identified a new population among globular cluster stars. This population, referred to as the 'extended P1', has been suggested to be the manifestation of a new abundance pattern where the initial mass fraction of He changes ...

First Measurements of Absolute Branching Fractions of the Xi(0)(c) Baryon at Belle

We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Xi(0)(c) decays into Xi(-)pi(+), Lambda K-pi(+), and pK(-)K(-)pi(+) final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772 +/- 11) x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected ...
