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

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 ...

Metallicity Distribution Function of the Eridanus II Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We use deep narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of Local Group ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Eridanus II (Eri II). When combined with archival F475W and F814W data, ...

The Pristine survey IV: approaching the Galactic metallicity floor with the discovery of an ultra-metal-poor star

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard, Carmela Lardo, Marc Gentile

The early Universe presented a star formation environment that was almost devoid of heavy elements. The lowest metallicity stars thus provide a unique window into the earliest Galactic stages, but are exceedingly rare and difficult to find. Here, we presen ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Galactic evolution of sulphur and zinc

Carmela Lardo

Context. Due to their volatile nature, when sulphur and zinc are observed in external galaxies, their determined abundances represent the gas-phase abundances in the interstellar medium. This implies that they can be used as tracers of the chemical enrichm ...

Feasibility study of a CO2-based system in NEST

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu

The NEST building laboratory of Empa and Eawag is a modular research and innovation demonstrator where new technologies, materials and systems are tested, researched, honed and validated in realistic conditions. In the NEST concept, only the supporting str ...

Unraveling the Salvinia Paradox: Design Principles for Submerged Superhydrophobicity

Simone Meloni

The complex structure of the Salvinia molesta is investigated via rare event molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that a hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning together with a re-entrant geometry control the free energy barriers for bubble nucleation a ...

A comment on the emission from the Galactic Center as seen by the Fermi telescope

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

In the recent paper of Hooper and Goodenough (2010) [10] it was reported that gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center region contains an excess compared to the contributions from the large-scale diffuse emission and known point sources. This excess was ...

Fabrication of Fresnel zone plates for hard X-rays

Christian David

A method to fabricate gold structures with high aspect ratio is presented. Fresnel zone plates with an outermost zone width of 100nm and structures of 1μm height are fabricated. Preliminary focusing results at an X-ray energy of 8keV are presented and ways ...

H-2-rich fluids from serpentinization: Geochemical and biotic implications

Anders Meibom

Metamorphic hydration and oxidation of ultramafic rocks produces serpentinites, composed of serpentine group minerals and varying amounts of brucite, magnetite, and/or FeNi alloys. These minerals buffer imetamorphic fluids to extremely reducing conditions ...

Evolution with redshift of the ICM abundances

We predict the behaviour of the abundances of ff- elements and iron in the intracluster medium (ICM) as a function of redshift in poor and rich clusters. In order to do that we calculate the detailed chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies by means of on ...
