Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium stellar spectroscopy with 1D and <3D> models - I. Methods and application to magnesium abundances in standard stars
read the original abstract
We determine Mg abundances in 6 Gaia benchmark stars using theoretical one-dimensional (1D) hydrostatic model atmospheres, as well as temporally- and spatially-averaged 3D model atmospheres (<3D>). The stars cover a range of Teff from 4700 to 6500 K, log g from 1.6 to 4.4 dex, and [Fe/H] from -3.0 dex to solar. Spectrum synthesis calculations are performed in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and in non-LTE (NLTE) using the oscillator strengths recently published by Pehlivan Rhodin et al. We find that: a) Mg abundances determined from the infrared spectra are as accurate as the optical diagnostics, b) the NLTE effects on Mg I line strengths and abundances in this sample of stars are minor (although for a few Mg I lines the NLTE effects on abundance exceed 0.6 dex in <3D> and 0.1 dex in 1D, c) the solar Mg abundance is 7.56 +/- 0.05 dex (total error), in the excellent agreement with the Mg abundance measured in CI chondritic meteorites, d) the 1D NLTE and <3D> NLTE approach can be used with confidence to analyse optical Mg I lines in spectra of dwarfs and sub-giants, but for red giants the Mg I 5711 A line should be preferred, e) low-excitation Mg I lines are sensitive to the atmospheric structure; for these lines, LTE calculations with <3D> models lead to significant systematic abundance errors. The methods developed in this work will be used to study Mg abundances of a large sample of stars in the next paper in the series.

The Hubble Missing Globular Clusters Survey IV. Ultra-faint compact satellites of the Milky Way. The case of Koposov 2
Koposov 2 is shown to be an old (13.7 Gyr) star cluster with half-light radius 2.7 pc, absolute magnitude -0.95, and stellar mass 372 solar masses, supporting a star cluster classification over a dwarf galaxy.

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.

High-precision analysis of TYC 6044-714-1 favors s+r nucleosynthesis over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch Ba isotopes.

3D Non-LTE radiation transfer: theory and applications to stars, exoplanets, and kilonovae
A field review of 3D non-LTE radiative transfer argues that 1D LTE treatments of stellar, exoplanet, and kilonova spectra carry systematic abundance biases that 3D NLTE modeling can now remove.
