Spectroscopic detection of multiple populations in the similar to 2 Gyr old cluster Hodge 6 in the LMC

Carmela Lardo

We report the spectroscopic discovery of abundance spreads (i.e. multiple populations) in the similar to 2 Gyr old cluster in the LMC, Hodge 6. We use low-resolution VLT FORS2 spectra of 15 member stars in the cluster to measure their CN and CH band streng ...

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 ...

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

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Yuguang Chen, Yue Shen, 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 ...

Preprocessing among the Infalling Galaxy Population of EDisCS Clusters

Pascale Jablonka

We present results from a low-resolution spectroscopic survey for 21 galaxy clusters at 0.4 < z < 0.8 selected from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. We measured spectra using the low-dispersion prism in IMACS on the Magellan Baade telescope and calculate re ...

Molecular gas in radio galaxies in dense megaparsec-scale environments at z=0.4-2.6

Gianluca Castignani

Context. Low luminosity radio galaxies (LLRGs) typically reside in dense megaparsec-scale environments and are often associated with brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). They are an excellent tool to study the evolution of molecular gas reservoirs in giant e ...

Gaia Data Release 2 Variable stars in the colour-absolute magnitude diagram

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Jean-Marie Petit, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The ESA Gaia mission provides a unique time-domain survey for more than 1.6 billion sources with G less than or similar to 21 mag. ...

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), ...

IC 4499 revised: Spectro-photometric evidence of small light-element variations

Carmela Lardo

It has been suggested that IC 4499 is one of the very few old globulars to not host multiple populations with light-element variations. To follow-up on this very interesting result, here we have made use of accurate HST photometry and FLAMES at VLT high-re ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Disc colours in field and cluster spiral galaxies at 0.5 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 0.8

Frédéric Courbin, Pascale Jablonka, Georges Meylan, Nicolas Cantale

We present a detailed study of the colours of late-type galaxy discs for ten of the EDisCS galaxy clusters with 0.5 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 0.8. Our cluster sample contains 172 spiral galaxies, and our control sample is composed o ...
