On the use of Gaia magnitudes and new tables of bolometric corrections
read the original abstract
The availability of reliable bolometric corrections and reddening estimates, rather than the quality of parallaxes will be one of the main limiting factors in determining the luminosities of a large fraction of Gaia stars. With this goal in mind, we provide Gaia G, BP and RP synthetic photometry for the entire MARCS grid, and test the performance of our synthetic colours and bolometric corrections against space-borne absolute spectrophotometry. We find indication of a magnitude-dependent offset in Gaia DR2 G magnitudes, which must be taken into account in high accuracy investigations. Our interpolation routines are easily used to derive bolometric corrections at desired stellar parameters, and to explore the dependence of Gaia photometry on Teff, log(g), [Fe/H], alpha-enhancement and E(B-V). Gaia colours for the Sun and Vega, and Teff-dependent extinction coefficients, are also provided.

Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)
Abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 are best reproduced by s+r nucleosynthesis models; i+s+r models require extreme conditions and fail to match the full pattern.

Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)
High-precision abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 favor an s+r nucleosynthesis scenario over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch isotopic data.
