This paper focuses on carbon, which is one of the most abundant elements in the universe and is of high importance in the field of nucleosynthesis and galactic and stellar evolution. The origin of carbon and the relative ...

The utility of stellar cluster aging methods based on integrated spectra is clearly demonstrated by its extensive use by researchers for decades. However, few studies have determined the accuracy of such methods using a ...

Context. The stellar metallicity gradients of disc galaxies provide information on disc assembly, star formation processes, and chemical evolution. They also might store information on dynamical processes that could affect ...

Context. Stellar populations are the building blocks of galaxies, including the Milky Way. The majority, if not all, extragalactic studies are entangled with the use of stellar population models given the unresolved nature ...

In this work, we investigated differences between stellar populations of galaxies that are part of a cluster with and without substructures. We used optical spectra obtained from Sloan Digital Sky Servey III DR10 for the ...

Context. Recent observational programs are providing a global view of the Milky Way bulge that serves as a template for detailed comparison with models and extragalactic bulges. A number of surveys (VVV, GIBS, GES, ARGOS, ...

We report the serendipitous discovery of a stellar stream in the constellation Pegasus in the south Galactic hemisphere. The stellar stream was detected using the SDSS Data Release 14 by means of a matched filter in the ...
