The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2 (2022)
Journal Article
Armstrong, J. J., Wright, N. J., Jeffries, R. D., Jackson, R. J., & Cantat-Gaudin, T. (2022). The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 517(4), 5704 - 5720. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3101

The kinematics of stars in OB associations can provide insights into their formation, dynamical evolution, and eventual fate. The low-mass stellar content of OB associations are sufficiently numerous as to provide a detailed sampling of their kinemat... Read More about The structure and 3D kinematics of vela OB2.

A high resolution multi-object spectrograph for the VLT: a pre-concept design (2022)
Journal Article
Brucalassi, A., Tozzi, A., Oliva, E., Gonzalez, O., Randich, S., De Silva, G., …Skuladottir, A. (2022). A high resolution multi-object spectrograph for the VLT: a pre-concept design. Proceedings of SPIE, 12184, Article ARTN 121841A. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2629654

Following the idea originally proposed during the ESO-Workshop The Very Large Telescope in 2030, the concept of a high resolution spectrograph for the VLT has been further explored, both for the science and technological aspects. Such an instrument w... Read More about A high resolution multi-object spectrograph for the VLT: a pre-concept design.

The Gaia-ESO survey: Constraining evolutionary models and ages for young low mass stars with measurements of lithium depletion and rotation (2022)
Journal Article
Jeffries. (2022). The Gaia-ESO survey: Constraining evolutionary models and ages for young low mass stars with measurements of lithium depletion and rotation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 5727-5751. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1245

A growing disquiet has emerged in recent years that standard stellar models are at odds with observations of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and lithium depletion patterns of pre-main sequence stars in clusters. In this work we select 1246 high... Read More about The Gaia-ESO survey: Constraining evolutionary models and ages for young low mass stars with measurements of lithium depletion and rotation.

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Chemical tagging in the thin disk. Open clusters blindly recovered in the elemental abundance space (2022)
Journal Article
Spina, L., Magrini, L., Sacco, G. G., Casali, G., Vallenari, A., Tautvaisiene, G., …Zaggia, S. (2022). The Gaia-ESO Survey: Chemical tagging in the thin disk.

Context. The chemical makeup of a star provides the fossil information of the environment where it formed. Under this premise, it should be possible to use chemical abundances to tag stars that formed within the same stellar association. This idea -...
