Ítem Gaia-ESO Survey: Gas dynamics in the Carina nebula through optical emission lines(EDP SCIENCES, 2016-06) Damiani, F.; Bonito, R.; Magrini, L.; Prisinzano, L.; Mapelli, M.; Micela, G.; Kalari, V.; Maíz Apellániz, J.; Gilmore, G.; Randich, S.; Alfaro, E.; Flaccomio, E.; Koposov, S.; Klutsch, A.; Lanzafame, A. C.; Pancino, E.; Sacco, G. G.; Bayo, A.; Carraro, G.; Casey, A. R.; Costado, M. T.; Franciosini, E.; Hourihane, A.; Lardo, C.; Lewis, J.; Monaco, L.; Morbidelli, L.; Worley, C.; Zaggia, S.; Zwitter, T.; Dorda, R.Aims. We present observations from the Gaia-ESO Survey in the lines of Hα, [N II], [S II], and He I of nebular emission in the central part of the Carina nebula. Methods. We investigate the properties of the two already known kinematic components (approaching and receding), which account for the bulk of emission. Moreover, we investigate the features of the much less known low-intensity high-velocity (absolute RV >50 km s-1) gas emission. Results. We show that gas giving rise to Hα and He I emission is dynamically well correlated with but not identical to gas seen through forbidden-line emission. Gas temperatures are derived from line-width ratios, and densities from [S II] doublet ratios. The spatial variation of N ionization is also studied, and found to differ between the approaching and receding components. The main result is that the bulk of the emission lines in the central part of Carina arise from several distinct shell-like expanding regions, the most evident found around η Car, the Trumpler 14 core, and the star WR25. These “shells” are non-spherical and show distortions probably caused by collisions with other shells or colder, higher-density gas. Some of them are also partially obscured by foreground dust lanes, while very little dust is found in their interior. Preferential directions, parallel to the dark dust lanes, are found in the shell geometries and physical properties, probably related to strong density gradients in the studied region. We also find evidence that the ionizing flux emerging from η Car and the surrounding Homunculus nebula varies with polar angle. The high-velocity components in the wings of Hα are found to arise from expanding dust reflecting the η Car spectrum.Ítem The Gaia -ESO Survey: The origin and evolution of s -process elements(EDP Sciences, 2018-09) Magrini, L.; Spina, L.; Randich, S.; Friel, E.; Kordopatis, G.; Worley, C.; Pancino, E.; Bragaglia, A.; Donati, P.; Tautvaišienė, G.; Bagdonas, V.; Delgado-Mena, E.; Adibekyan, V.; Sousa, S.G.; Jiménez-Esteban, F.M.; Sanna, N.; Roccatagliata, V.; Bonito, R.; Sbordone, L.; Duffau, S.; Gilmore, G.; Feltzing, S.; Jeffries, R.D.; Vallenari, A.; Alfaro, E.J.; Bensby, T.; Francois, P.; Koposov, S.; Korn, A.J.; Recio-Blanco, A.; Smiljanic, R.; Bayo, A.; Carraro, G.; Casey, A.R.; Costado, M.T.; Damiani, F.; Franciosini, E.; Frasca, A.; Hourihane, A.; Jofré, P.; De Laverny, P.; Lewis, J.; Masseron, T.; Monaco, L.; Morbidelli, L.; Prisinzano, L.; Sacco, G.; Zaggia, S.Context. Several works have found an increase of the abundances of the s-process neutron-capture elements in the youngest Galactic stellar populations. These trends provide important constraints on stellar and Galactic evolution and they need to be confirmed with large and statistically significant samples of stars spanning wide age and distance intervals. Aims. We aim to trace the abundance patterns and the time evolution of five s-process elements - two belonging to the first peak, Y and Zr, and three belonging to the second peak, Ba, La, and Ce - using the Gaia-ESO IDR5 results for open clusters and disc stars. Methods. From the UVES spectra of cluster member stars, we determined the average composition of clusters with ages >0.1 Gyr. We derived statistical ages and distances of field stars, and we separated them into thin and thick disc populations. We studied the time-evolution and dependence on metallicity of abundance ratios using open clusters and field stars whose parameters and abundances were derived in a homogeneous way. Results. Using our large and homogeneous sample of open clusters, thin and thick disc stars, spanning an age range larger than 10 Gyr, we confirm an increase towards young ages of s-process abundances in the solar neighbourhood. These trends are well defined for open clusters and stars located nearby the solar position and they may be explained by a late enrichment due to significant contribution to the production of these elements from long-living low-mass stars. At the same time, we find a strong dependence of the s-process abundance ratios on the Galactocentric distance and on the metallicity of the clusters and field stars. Conclusions. Our results, derived from the largest and most homogeneous sample of s-process abundances in the literature, confirm the growth with decreasing stellar ages of the s-process abundances in both field and open cluster stars. At the same time, taking advantage of the abundances of open clusters located in a wide Galactocentric range, these results offer a new perspective on the dependence of the s-process evolution on the metallicity and star formation history, pointing to different behaviours at various Galactocentric distances. © 2018 ESO.Ítem The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Implementation, data products, open cluster survey, science, and legacy(EDP Sciences, 2022-10-01) Randich, S.; Gilmore, G.; Magrini, L.; Sacco, G.G.; Jackson, R.J.; Jeffries, R.D.; Worley, C.C.; Hourihane, A.; Gonneau, A.; Viscasillas Vázquez, C.; Franciosini, E.; Lewis, J.R.; Alfaro, E.J.; Allende Prieto, C.; Bensby, T.; Blomme, R.; Bragaglia, A.; Flaccomio, E.; François, P.; Irwin, M.J.; Koposov, S.E.; Korn, A.J.; Lanzafame, A.C.; Pancino, E.; Recio Blanco, A.; Smiljanic, R.; Van Eck, S.; Zwitter, T.; Asplund, M.; Bonifacio, P.; Feltzing, S.; Binney, J.; Drew, J.; Ferguson, A.M.N.; Micela, G.; Negueruela, I.; Prusti, T.; Rix, H.-W.; Vallenari, A.; Bayo, A.; Bergemann, M.; Biazzo, K.; Carraro, G.; Casey, A.R.; Damiani, F.; Frasca, A.; Heiter, U.; Hill, V.; Jofré, P.; de Laverny, P.; Lind, K.; Marconi, G.; Martayan, C.; Masseron, T.; Monaco, L.; Morbidelli, L.; Prisinzano, L.; Sbordone, L.; Sousa, S.G.; Zaggia, S.; Adibekyan, V.; Bonito, R.; Caffau, E.; Daflon, S.; Feuillet, D.K.; Gebran, M.; González Hernández, J.I.; Guiglion, G.; Herrero, A.; Lobel, A.; Maíz Apellániz, J.; Merle, T.; Mikolaitis, S.; Montes, D.; Morel, T.; Soubiran, C.; Spina, L.; Tabernero, H.M.; Tautvaišiene, G.; Traven, G.; Valentini, M.; Van der Swaelmen, M.; Villanova, S.; Wright, N.J.; Abbas, U.; Aguirre Børsen-Koch, V.; Alves, J.; Balaguer Núnez, L.; Barklem, P.S.; Barrado, D.; Berlanas, S.R.; Binks, A.S.; Bressan, A.; Capuzzo Dolcetta, R.; Casagrande, L.; Casamiquela, L.; Collins, R.S.; D’Orazi, V.; Dantas, M.L.L.; Debattista, V.P.; Delgado Mena, E.; Di Marcantonio, P.; Drazdauskas, A.; Evans, N.W.; Famaey, B.; Franchini, M.; Frémat, Y.; Friel, E.D.; Fu, X.; Geisler, D.; Gerhard, O.; González Solares, E.A.; Grebel, E.K.; Gutiérrez Albarrán, M.L.; Hatzidimitriou, D.; Held, E.V.; Jiménez Esteban, F.; Jönsson, H.; Jordi, C.; Khachaturyants, T.; Kordopatis, G.; Kos, J.; Lagarde, N.; Mahy, L.; Mapelli, M.; Marfil, E.; Martell, S.L.; Messina, S.; Miglio, A.; Minchev, I.; Moitinho, A.; Montalban, J.; Monteiro, M.J.P.F.G.; Morossi, C.; Mowlavi, N.; Mucciarelli, A.; Murphy, D.N.A.; Nardetto, N.; Ortolani, S.; Paletou, F.; Palous, J.; Paunzen, E.; Pickering, J.C.; Quirrenbach, A.; Re Fiorentin, P.; Read, J.I.; Romano, D.; Ryde, N.; Sanna, N.; Santos, W.; Seabroke, G.M.; Spagna, A.; Steinmetz, M.; Stonkuté, E.; Sutorius, E.; Thévenin, F.; Tosi, M.; Tsantaki, M.; Vink, J.S.; Wright, N.; Wyse, R.F.G.; Zoccali, M.; Zorec, J.; Zucker, D.B.; Walton, N.A.Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances for large samples of Galactic stars, complementing Gaia astrometry. Among those surveys, the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey, the only one performed on a 8m class telescope, was designed to target 100 000 stars using FLAMES on the ESO VLT (both Giraffe and UVES spectrographs), covering all the Milky Way populations, with a special focus on open star clusters. Aims. This article provides an overview of the survey implementation (observations, data quality, analysis and its success, data products, and releases), of the open cluster survey, of the science results and potential, and of the survey legacy. A companion article reviews the overall survey motivation, strategy, Giraffe pipeline data reduction, organisation, and workflow. Methods. We made use of the information recorded and archived in the observing blocks; during the observing runs; in a number of relevant documents; in the spectra and master catalogue of spectra; in the parameters delivered by the analysis nodes and the working groups; in the final catalogue; and in the science papers. Based on these sources, we critically analyse and discuss the output and products of the Survey, including science highlights. We also determined the average metallicities of the open clusters observed as science targets and of a sample of clusters whose spectra were retrieved from the ESO archive. Results. The Gaia-ESO Survey has determined homogeneous good-quality radial velocities and stellar parameters for a large fraction of its more than 110 000 unique target stars. Elemental abundances were derived for up to 31 elements for targets observed with UVES. Lithium abundances are delivered for about 1/3 of the sample. The analysis and homogenisation strategies have proven to be successful; several science topics have been addressed by the Gaia-ESO consortium and the community, with many highlight results achieved. Conclusions. The final catalogue will be released through the ESO archive in the first half of 2022, including the complete set of advanced data products. In addition to these results, the Gaia-ESO Survey will leave a very important legacy, for several aspects and for many years to come. © ESO 2022.Ítem The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey: Motivation, implementation, GIRAFFE data processing, analysis, and final data products?(EDP Sciences, 2022-10-01) Gilmore, G.; Randich, S.; Worley, C.C.; Hourihane, A.; Gonneau, A.; Sacco, G.G.; Lewis, J.R.; Magrini, L.; François, P.; Jeffries, R.D.; Koposov, S.E.; Bragaglia, A.; Alfaro, E.J.; Allende Prieto, C.; Blomme, R.; Korn, A.J.; Lanzafame, A.C.; Pancino, E.; Recio Blanco, A.; Smiljanic, R.; Van Eck, S.; Zwitter, T.; Bensby, T.; Flaccomio, E.; Irwin, M.J.; Franciosini, E.; Morbidelli, L.; Damiani, F.; Bonito, R.; Friel, E.D.; Vink, J.S.; Prisinzano, L.; Abbas, U.; Hatzidimitriou, D.; Held, E.V.; Jordi, C.; Paunzen, E.; Spagna, A.; Jackson, R.J.; Maíz Apellániz, J.; Asplund, M.; Bonifacio, P.; Feltzing, S.; Binney, J.; Drew, J.; Ferguson, A.M.N.; Micela, G.; Negueruela, I.; Prusti, T.; Rix, H.-W.; Vallenari, A.; Bergemann, M.; Casey, A.R.; Laverny, P.; Frasca, A.; Hill, V.; Lind, K.; Sbordone, L.; Sousa, S.G.; Adibekyan, V.; Caffau, E.; Daflon, S.; Feuillet, D.K.; Gebran, M.; González Hernández, J.I.; Guiglion, G.; Herrero, A.; Lobel, A.; Merle, T.; Mikolaitis, S.; Montes, D.; Morel, T.; Ruchti, G.; Soubiran, C.; Tabernero, H.M.; Tautvaišiene, G.; Traven, G.; Valentini, M.; Van der Swaelmen, M.; Villanova, S.; Viscasillas Vázquez, C.; Bayo, A.; Biazzo, K.; Carraro, G.; Edvardsson, B.; Heiter, U.; Jofré, P.; Marconi, G.; Martayan, C.; Masseron, T.; Monaco, L.; Walton, N.A.; Zaggia, S.; Aguirre Børsen-Koch, V.; Alves, J.; Balaguer Núnez, L.; Barklem, P.S.; Barrado, D.; Bellazzini, M.; Berlanas, S.R.; Binks, A.S.; Bressan, A.; Capuzzo Dolcetta, R.; Casagrande, L.; Casamiquela, L.; Collins, R.S.; D’Orazi, V.; Dantas, M.L.L.; Debattista, V.P.; Delgado Mena, E.; Marcantonio, P.

The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is an ambitious project designed to obtain astrophysical parameters and elemental abundances for 100 000 stars, including large representative samples of the stellar populations in the Galaxy, and a well-defined sample of 60 (plus 20 archive) open clusters. We provide internally consistent results calibrated on benchmark stars and star clusters, extending across a very wide range of abundances and ages. This provides a legacy data set of intrinsic value, and equally a large wide-ranging dataset that is of value for the homogenisation of other and future stellar surveys and Gaia’s astrophysical parameters. Aims. This article provides an overview of the survey methodology, the scientific aims, and the implementation, including a description of the data processing for the GIRAFFE spectra. A companion paper introduces the survey results. Methods. Gaia-ESO aspires to quantify both random and systematic contributions to measurement uncertainties. Thus, all available spectroscopic analysis techniques are utilised, each spectrum being analysed by up to several different analysis pipelines, with considerable effort being made to homogenise and calibrate the resulting parameters. We describe here the sequence of activities up to delivery of processed data products to the ESO Science Archive Facility for open use. Results. The Gaia-ESO Survey obtained 202 000 spectra of 115 000 stars using 340 allocated VLT nights between December 2011 and January 2018 from GIRAFFE and UVES. Conclusions. The full consistently reduced final data set of spectra was released through the ESO Science Archive Facility in late 2020, with the full astrophysical parameters sets following in 2022. A companion article reviews the survey implementation, scientific highlights, the open cluster survey, and data products. © G.

One of the main goals of the young cluster observations is to study their dynamical evolution and provide insight into their future, revealing whether they will eventually disperse to populate the field rather than evolve into bound open clusters. In this paper we report the analysis of the dynamical state of L1688 in the ρ Ophiuchi molecular cloud using the dataset provided by the GES consortium. We performed the membership selection of the more than 300 objects observed. Using the presence of the lithium absorption and the location in the Hertzspung-Russell diagram, we identify 45 already known members and two new association members. We provide accurate RVs for all 47 confirmed members. A dynamical analysis, after accounting for unresolved binaries and errors, shows that the stellar surface population of L1688 has a velocity dispersion σ ∼ 1.14 ± 0.35 km s−1 that is consistent with being in virial equilibrium and is bound with a ∼80% probability. We also find a velocity gradient in the stellar surface population of ∼1.0 km s−1 pc−1 in the northwest-southeast direction, which is consistent with that found for the pre-stellar dense cores, and we discuss the possibility of sequential and triggered star formation in L1688.
