Description
The discovery is reported of a new lithium super-rich carbon star, IY Hya, and the Li abundance in three other carbon stars (T Sgr, WZ Cas and WX Cyg), previously known as super Li-rich stars is derived. All these stars show abundances in the range log N(Li) = 4.5 (i.e., 10 to 100 times higher than the present cosmic value). Two of them (WX Cyg and T Sgr) present variations in the Li feature when compared with previous studies.

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations
