Gaia Focused Product Release: Spatial distribution of two diffuse interstellar bands

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are absorption features seen in optical and infrared spectra of stars and extragalactic objects that are probably caused by large and complex molecules in the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Here we investigate the Gal ...

Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm

Shuangqing Liao

Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...

Signatures of anisotropic diffusion around PeVatrons in 100 TeV gamma-ray data

The Tibet AS gamma collaboration has reported a diffuse gamma-ray emission signal from the Galactic Plane. We consider the possibility that the diffuse emission from the outer Galactic Plane at the highest energies is produced by cosmic rays spreading from ...

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 ...

Analysis of Red Supergiants in VDBH 222

Carmela Lardo

Recent surveys uncovered new young massive clusters (YMCs) that host dozens of red supergiants (RSGs) in the inner Milky Way. These clusters are ideal for studying the most recent and violent star formation events in the inner Galaxy. However, due to the h ...

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 ...

Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Huanyuan Shan, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Claudio Gorgoni, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Tobias Gabriel Meier, Alejandro Alvarez, Arjun Dey, Paul Carter, Abhijit Saha

The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys (http://legacysurvey.org/) are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Survey) that will jointly image approximate to 14,000 ...

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

Carmela Lardo

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 ...

Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports that a putative gas cloud (G2) would be passing in close proximity to the supe ...

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 ...
