The pixel-to-pixel spectral fitting technique is often used in studies of stellar populations. It enables the user to infer several parameters from integrated light spectra such...

Abundances of light elements in dwarf stars of different ages are important constraints for stellar yields, Galactic chemical evolution and exoplanet chemical composition...

Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients, are a recently discovered group of astrophysical events that display rapid luminosity evolution....

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...

We use a sample of 154 observations of 124 HII regions that have measurements of both T_e_[OIII] and T_e_[NII], compiled from the literature, to explore the behaviour of the...

The low-metallicity, kinematically interesting dwarf stars studied by Stephens & Boesgaard (2002AJ....123.1647S, SB02) are re-examined using Gaia DR2 astrometry, and updated...

Data from Gaia DR2 and The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment surveys revealed a relatively new component in the inner Galactic halo, which is likely the...

The accretion of rocky material is responsible for the presence of heavy elements in the atmospheres of a large fraction of white dwarf stars. Those objects represent a unique...

We compare the oxygen abundance (O/H) of the narrow-line regions (NLRs) of Seyfert 2 AGNs obtained through strong-line methods and from direct measurements of the electron...

A chemo-dynamical analysis of 115 metal-poor candidate stars selected from the narrow-band Pristine photometric survey is presented based on CFHT high-resolution ESPaDOnS...

Metals observed in the atmospheres of white dwarfs suggest that many have recently accreted planetary bodies. In some cases, the compositions observed suggest the accretion of...

We investigate the Fe, C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ce, and Nd abundances of 2283 red giant stars in 31 globular clusters from high-resolution spectra observed in both the...

The discovery of extremely zirconium- and lead-rich surfaces amongst a small subgroup of hot subdwarfs has provoked questions pertaining to chemical peculiarity in hot star...

A non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium level population model of the first and second ionization stages of iron, nickel, and cobalt is used to fit a sample of XShooter optical +...

Here we present the discovery of 895 s-process-rich candidates from 454180 giant stars observed by the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) using a...

We present and discuss the results of a search for extremely metal-poor stars based on photometry from data release DR1.1 of the SkyMapper imaging survey of the southern sky. In...

We present results from the analysis of high-resolution spectra obtained with the Keck HIRES spectrograph for a sample of 17 candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars...

The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the CaII H&K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely...

We performed a uniform and detailed abundance analysis of 12 refractory elements for a sample of 257 G- and K-type evolved stars from the CORALIE planet search program. This...

We present detailed chemical element abundance ratios of 17 elements with eight<=Z<=60 in three metal-poor stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which we...
