Gaia's brightest very metal-poor (VMP) stars Metallicity catalogue of a thousand VMP stars from Gaia's radial velocity spectrometer spectra

Context. Gaia DR3 has offered the scientific community a remarkable dataset of approximately one million spectra acquired with the radial velocity spectrometer (RVS) in the calcium II triplet region, which is well suited to identify very metal-poor (VMP) s ...

GHOST commissioning science results - II: a very metal-poor star witnessing the early galactic assembly

Pascale Jablonka

This study focuses on Pristine_180956.78-294759.8 (hereafter P180956, [Fe/H] = -1.95 +/- 0.02), a star selected from the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS), and followed-up with the recently commissioned Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) ...

The PHANGS-JWST Treasury Survey: Star Formation, Feedback, and Dust Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby GalaxieS

Robin Gopala Tress, Jing Li, Guillaume Blanc, Jiayi Sun, Hamid Hassani, Francesco Santoro

The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference data set for the multiscale, multiphase study of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies. With the successful launch and commissioning of JWST, we can now obtain high-resolu ...

Metallicity Distribution Functions of 13 Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidates from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present uniformly measured stellar metallicities of 463 stars in 13 Milky Way (MW) ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; M-V = -7.1 to -0.8) using narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This represents the largest homogeneous ...

The Pristine survey - XVII. The C-19 stream is dynamically hot and more extended than previously thought

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

The C-19 stream is the most metal-poor stellar system ever discovered, with a mean metallicity [Fe/H] = -3.38 +/- 0.06. Its low metallicity dispersion (sigma([Fe/H]) < 0.18 at the 95 per cent confidence level) and variations in sodium abundances strongly s ...

TOCOSMO VIII. A key test of systematics in the hierarchical method of time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin

The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of H-0. A Bayesian hierarchical framework has been propo ...

Constraining quasar structure using high-frequency microlensing variations and continuum reverberation

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin, Georgios Vernardos

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of strongly lensed quasars and for constraining parameters of the stellar mass function of lens galaxies. This is achieved by analysing microlensing light curves between the mult ...

The Effects of Planetary and Stellar Parameters on Brittle Lithospheric Thickness

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap

The thicknesss of the brittle lithosphere—the outer portion of a planetary body that fails via fracturing— plays a key role in the geological processes of that body. The properties of both a planet and its host star can influence that thickness, and the po ...

Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments

Claudio Grimaldi

The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observations. We develop a mathematical model that takes parameters such as the microbi ...

The formation of the milky way halo and its dwarf satellites: a NLTE-1D abundance analysis. IV. Segue 1, Triangulumii, and Coma Berenices UFDs

Pascale Jablonka

We present atmospheric parameters and abundances for chemical elements from carbon to barium in metal-poor stars in Segue 1 (seven stars), Coma Berenices (three stars), and Triangulum II (one star) ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs). The effective temperatur ...
