• 18 Sco : a solar twin rich in refractory and neutron-capture elements, implications for chemical tagging 

      Meléndez, Jorge; Ramírez, Iván; Karakas, Amanda I.; Yong, David; Monroe, TalaWanda Rose; Bedell, Megan; Bergemann, Maria; Asplund, Martin; Maia, Marcelo Tucci; Bean, Jacob L.; Nascimento Júnior, José Dias do; Bazot, Michael; Alves-Brito, Alan; Freitas, Fabrício Catani de; Castro, Matthieu Sébastien (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      We study with unprecedented detail the chemical composition and stellar parameters of the solar twin 18 Sco in a strictly differential sense relative to the Sun. Our study is mainly based on high-resolution (R ∼ 110,000), ...
    • Chemical abundances in bright giants of the globular cluster M62 (NGC 6266) 

      Yong, David; Alves-Brito, Alan; Da Costa, Gary Stewart; Alonso Garcia, Javier; Karakas, Amanda I.; Pignatari, Marco; Roederer, Ian U.; Aoki, Wako; Fishlock, Cherie K.; Grundahl, Frank; Norris, John E. (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      With the exception of Terzan 5, all the Galactic globular clusters that possess significant metallicity spreads, such as ω Cen and M22, are preferentially the more luminous clusters with extended horizontal branches. Here ...
    • Sc and neutron-capture abundances in Galactic low- and high-α field halo stars 

      Fishlock, Cherie K.; Yong, David; Karakas, Amanda I.; Alves-Brito, Alan; Meléndez, Jorge; Nissen, Poul Erik; Kobayashi, Chiaki; Casey, Andrew Raithby (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      We determine relative abundance ratios for the neutron-capture elements Zr, La, Ce, Nd and Eu for a sample of 27 Galactic dwarf stars with −1.5 < [Fe/H] < −0.8. We also measure the iron-peak element Sc. These stars separate ...
    • The temporal evolution of neutron-capture elements in the Galactic discs 

      Spina, Lorenzo; Meléndez, Jorge; Karakas, Amanda I.; Santos, Leonardo Augusto Gonçalves dos; Bedell, Megan; Asplund, Martin; Ramírez, Iván; Yong, David; Alves-Brito, Alan; Bean, Jacob L.; Dreizler, Stefan (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      Important insights into the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc(s) are contained in the chemical compositions of stars.We analysed high-resolution and high signal-to-noise HARPS spectra of 79 solar twin stars in ...
