The puzzling white dwarf cooling sequence in NGC 6791: A simple solution
Luigi R. Bedin,Maurizio Salaris,Giampaolo Piotto,Santi Cassisi,Antonino Milone,Jonathan Anderson,I. R. King +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the puzzling bright peak in the luminosity function of the white dwarf cooling sequence of NGC 6791 can be naturally accounted for if ~34% of the observed WDs are WD+WD binary systems.
Giants reveal what dwarfs conceal: Li abundance in lower red giant branch stars as diagnostic of the primordial Li★
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface Li abundance of 17 halo lower red giant branch stars was determined from spectroscopy, in the metallicity range between [Fe/H] ∼− 3.4 and ∼− 1.4
The distance to the Pleiades: Main sequence fitting in the near infrared
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the 2MASS All Sky Catalogue (ASC) to test the plausibility of the Hipparcos parallax result obtained from earlier main sequence (MS) fitting studies.
Quantum corrections to microscopic diffusion constants
H. Schlattl,Maurizio Salaris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of quantum corrections to the evaluation of the resistance coefficients was discussed in an astrophysical context, and simple yet accurate fitting formulae for their computation was provided.
The Initial Helium Abundance of the Galactic Globular Cluster System
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the initial He content in about 30% of the Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) from new star counts performed on the recently published HST snapshot database of Colour Magnitude Diagrams.
