Description
The galactic evolution of the abundances of the light-element isotopes (6Li, 7Li, 9Be, 10B, and 11B) is re-examined in view of recent measurements of the 7Li/6Li interstellar isotopic ratio. The high value of this ratio (≡40), found by Ferlet and Dennefeld (1984) towards ζ Oph, can be reproduced by simultaneously including contributions to the nucleosynthesis of 7Li by galactic cosmic rays, red giants, and novae. Good agreement with the observed abundances and isotopic ratios is also obtained for the other elements. The results show that low-energy cosmic rays should play only a minor role in galactic Li Be B production, and also that a pregalactic abundance of Li/H ≡ 10-9 does not present a good fit to present-day values as well as to Solar-System ones.

    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

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the
