The Pristine survey - XXI. Exploring the metal-poor boundary with ESPaDoNS

Pascale Jablonka

In this paper, we study high-resolution spectra of 19 stars that have metallicity estimates below -3.5 using at least two metallicity-sensitive photometric indices based on Pristine photometry. The purpose is to understand what kind of stars populate this ...

J1721+8842: a gravitationally lensed binary quasar with a proximate damped Lyman-alpha absorber

Frédéric Courbin, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Adriano Agnello

High-redshift binary quasars provide key insights into mergers and quasar activity, and are useful tools for probing the spatial kinematics and chemistry of galaxies along the line of sight. However, only three sub-10-kpc binaries have been confirmed above ...

Discovery of Slow Variables in a Class Of Multiscale Stochastic Systems Via Neural Networks

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Przemyslaw Zielinski

Finding a reduction of complex, high-dimensional dynamics to its essential, low-dimensional "heart" remains a challenging yet necessary prerequisite for designing efficient numerical approaches. Machine learning methods have the potential to provide a gene ...

Lithium in red giant stars: Constraining non-standard mixing with large surveys in the Gaia era

Pierre North

Context. Li is extensively known to be a good tracer of non-standard mixing processes occurring in stellar interiors. Aims. We present the results of a new large Li survey in red giant stars and combine it with surveys from the literature to probe the impa ...

Probabilistic S-N curves for constant and variable amplitude

Alain Nussbaumer, Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista, António José Luís dos Reis

Welded details in steel bridges are subjected to fatigue lives up to 200.10(6) cycles due to traffic loads. While the majority of these stress ranges are below the Constant Amplitude Fatigue Limit (CAFL), some few high stress cycles can trigger the start o ...
