Following our solar work, we perform NLTE calculations of the Mn abundance for fourteen stars with [Fe/H] from 0 to -2.5, mainly to show how NLTE affects Mn abundances in cool stars of different metallicities.The spectrum synthesis and Mn abundances are based on statistical equilibrium calculations using various estimates for the influence of hydrogen collisions.The NLTE abundances of Mn in all studied stars are systematically higher than the LTE abundances. At low metallicities, the NLTE abundance corrections may run up to 0.5 - 0.7 dex. Instead of a strong depletion of Mn relative to Fe in metal-poor stars as found by the other authors, we only find slightly subsolar values of [Mn/Fe] throughout the range of metallicities analyzed here. The [Mn/Fe] trend in metal-poor stars is inconsistent with the predictions of galactic chemical evolution models, where Mn is less produced than Fe.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Uniform BACCHUS abundances from PEPSI spectra of 32 FGK brown-dwarf hosts show C/O dispersion, predict silicate cloud species via Mg/Si, and test the [Y/Mg] age clock.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A uniform high-resolution abundance catalog of 32 FGK host stars of wide-separation brown dwarfs, with C/O, Mg/Si, Ca/Al, and [Y/Mg] ratios used to predict companion cloud chemistry and ages.

  3. Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    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.
