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 Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Initial CIV Lag Results from Four Years of Data

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Feng Li

We present reverberation-mapping (RM) lags and black hole mass measurements using the C IV lambda 1549 broad emission line from a sample of 348 quasars monitored as a part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey RM Project. Our data span four years of spectroscopi ...

VLT/FLAMES high-resolution chemical abundances in Sculptor: a textbook dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

We present detailed chemical abundances for 99 red-giant branch stars in the centre of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which have been obtained from high-resolution VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. The abundances of Li, Na, alpha-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca Ti), ...

Sparse Lens Inversion Technique (SLIT): lens and source separability from linear inversion of the source reconstruction problem

Frédéric Courbin, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing offers a wealth of astrophysical information on the background source it affects, provided the lensed source can be reconstructed as if it was seen in the absence of lensing. In the present work, we illustrate how sparse optimi ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: properties of newly discovered Li-rich giants

Carmela Lardo, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, Fadi Atef Bayoud

Aims. We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with an evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) data. We present a detailed overview of the prop ...

Experiment and Machine Protection from Fast Losses caused by Crab Cavities in the High Luminosity LHC

Andrea Santamaría García

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade aims for a tenfold increase in integrated luminosity compared to the nominal Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and for operation at a leveled luminosity five times higher than the nominal LHC peak lumin ...

Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: Massive Star Clusters in M83 and the Mass-Metallicity Relation of Nearby Galaxies

Carmela Lardo

We present an abundance analysis of seven super star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by red supergiants, and the spectral similarity in the J-band of such stars at uniform metallicity means that the in ...

Gaia Data Release 1 Open cluster astrometry: performance, limitations, and future prospects

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The first Gaia Data Release contains the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). This is a subset of about 2 million stars for which, besides the position and photometry, the proper motion and parallax are calculated using Hipparcos and Tycho-2 po ...

Searching for globular cluster-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters - II. Results from the Antennae galaxies

Carmela Lardo

The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, and sizes comparable to those of ancient globulars are still forming today. No ...

A High Space Density of Luminous Ly alpha Emitters at z similar to 6.5

Hakim Atek

We present the results of a systematic search for Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) at 6 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 7.6 using the HST WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel (WISP) Survey. Our total volume over this redshift range is similar to ...

The fundamental plane of EDisCS galaxies The effect of size evolution (vol 524, A6, 2010)

Pascale Jablonka

We discovered a mistake in Eqs. (7) and (10) of Saglia et al. (2010, A&A, 524, A6), which propagates to Tables 8 and 9 and Fig. 25. We revise the tables, the figure and the affected statements in the paper. As a result, the reduction in the luminosity evol ...

Novel scanning method for distortion-free BOTDA measurements

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Alejandro Dominguez Lopez

Systematic errors induced by distortions in the pump pulse of conventional Brillouin distributed fiber sensors are thoroughly investigated. Experimental results, supported by a theoretical analysis, demonstrate that the two probe sidebands in standard Bril ...
