The Gaia-ESO Survey: revisiting the Li-rich giant problem (2016)
Journal Article
Casey, A., Ruchti, G., Masseron, T., Randich, S., Gilmore, G., Lind, K., …Valentini, M. (2016). The Gaia-ESO Survey: revisiting the Li-rich giant problem. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 461(3), 3336 - 3352. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1512

The discovery of lithium-rich giants contradicts expectations from canonical stellar evolution. Here we report on the serendipitous discovery of 20 Li-rich giants observed during the Gaia-ESO Survey, which includes the first nine Li-rich giant stars...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Lithium depletion in the Gamma Velorum cluster and inflated radii in low-mass pre-main-sequence stars (2016)
Journal Article
Jeffries. (2016). The Gaia-ESO Survey: Lithium depletion in the Gamma Velorum cluster and inflated radii in low-mass pre-main-sequence stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1456-1465. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2458

We show that non-magnetic models for the evolution of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars cannot simultaneously describe the colour–magnitude diagram (CMD) and the pattern of lithium depletion seen in the cluster of young, low-mass stars surrounding ?2 Vel...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Pre-Main Sequence Stars in the Young Open Cluster NGC 3293 (2016)
Journal Article
Delgado, A., Sampedro, L., Alfaro, E., Costado, M., Yun, J., Frasca, A., …Magrini, L. (2016). The Gaia-ESO Survey: Pre-Main Sequence Stars in the Young Open Cluster NGC 3293. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(3), 3305-3315. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1217

The young open cluster NGC3293 is included in the observing program of the Gaia-ESO survey (GES). The radial velocity values provided have been used to assign cluster membership probabilities by means of a single-variable parametric analysis. These m...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: A lithium-rotation connection at 5 Myr? (2016)
Journal Article
Bouvier, J., Lanzafame, A., Venuti, L., Klutsch, A., Jeffries, R., Frasca, A., …Zwitter, T. (2016). The Gaia-ESO Survey: A lithium-rotation connection at 5 Myr?. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 590, Article A78. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201628336

Context
The evolution of lithium abundance in cool dwarfs provides a unique probe of nonstandard processes in stellar evolution.

Aims
We investigate the lithium content of young low-mass stars in the 5 Myr old, star forming region NGC 2264 and i... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: A lithium-rotation connection at 5 Myr?.

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Stellar radii in the young open clusters NGC 2264, NGC 2547, and NGC 2516 (2016)
Journal Article
Jackson, R. J., Jeffries, R. D., Randich, S., Bragaglia, A., Carraro, G., Costado, M., …Zaggia, S. (2016). The Gaia-ESO Survey: Stellar radii in the young open clusters NGC 2264, NGC 2547, and NGC 2516. Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 586, Article A52. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201527507

Context. Rapidly rotating, low-mass members of eclipsing binary systems have measured radii that are significantly larger than predicted by standard evolutionary models. It has been proposed that magnetic activity is responsible for this radius infla... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: Stellar radii in the young open clusters NGC 2264, NGC 2547, and NGC 2516.
