Ítem The Gaia -ESO survey: separating disk chemical substructures with cluster models∗: evidence of a separate evolution in the metal-poor thin disk(EDP Sciences, 2016-02) Rojas-Arriagada, A.; Recio-Blanco, A.; De Laverny, P.; Schultheis, M.; Guiglion, G.; Mikolaitis, S.; Kordopatis, G.; Hill, V.; Gilmore, G.; Randich, S.; Alfaro, E.J.; Bensby, T.; Koposov, S.E.; Costado, M.T.; Franciosini, E.; Hourihane, A.; Jofré, P.; Lardo, C.; Lewis, J.; Lind, K.; Magrini, L.; Monaco, L.; Morbidelli, L.; Sacco, G.G.; Worley, C.C.; Zaggia, S.; Chiappini, C.Context. Recent spectroscopic surveys have begun to explore the Galactic disk system on the basis of large data samples, with spatial distributions sampling regions well outside the solar neighborhood. In this way, they provide valuable information for testing spatial and temporal variations of disk structure kinematics and chemical evolution. Aims. The main purposes of this study are to demonstrate the usefulness of a rigorous mathematical approach to separate substructures of a stellar sample in the abundance-metallicity plane, and provide new evidence with which to characterize the nature of the metal poor end of the thin disk sequence. Methods. We used a Gaussian mixture model algorithm to separate in the [Mg/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane a clean disk star subsample (essentially at RGC < 10 kpc) from the Gaia-ESO survey (GES) internal data release 2 (iDR2). We aim at decomposing it into data groups highlighting number density and/or slope variations in the abundance-metallicity plane. An independent sample of disk red clump stars from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) was used to cross-check the identified features. Results. We find that the sample is separated into five groups associated with major Galactic components; the metal-rich end of the halo, the thick disk, and three subgroups for the thin disk sequence. This is confirmed with the sample of red clump stars from APOGEE. The three thin disk groups served to explore this sequence in more detail. The two metal-intermediate and metal-rich groups of the thin disk decomposition ([Fe/H] > −0.25 dex) highlight a change in the slope at solar metallicity. This holds true at different radial regions of the Milky Way. The distribution of Galactocentric radial distances of the metal-poor part of the thin disk ([Fe/H] < −0.25 dex) is shifted to larger distances than those of the more metal-rich parts. Moreover, the metal-poor part of the thin disk presents indications of a scale height intermediate between those of the thick and the rest of the thin disk, and it displays higher azimuthal velocities than the latter. These stars might have formed and evolved in parallel and/or dissociated from the inside out formation taking place in the internal thin disk. Their enhancement levels might be due to their origin from gas pre-enriched by outflows from the thick disk or the inner halo. The smooth trends of their properties (their spatial distribution with respect to the plane, in particular) with [Fe/H] and [Mg/Fe] suggested by the data indicates a quiet dynamical evolution, with no relevant merger events.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.

The most massive of the merging galaxies will be dragged towards the disc plane, depositing stars and dark matter into an accreted disc structure. In this work, we utilize the chemodynamical template developed in Ruchti et al. to hunt for accreted stars. We apply the template to a sample of 4675 stars in the third internal data release from the Gaia-ESO Spectroscopic Survey. We find a significant component of accreted halo stars, but find no evidence of an accreted disc component. This suggests that the Milky Way has had a rather quiescent merger history since its disc formed some 8-10 billion years ago and therefore possesses no significant dark matter disc. © 2015 The Authors.Ítem The Gaia-ESO Survey: Separating disk chemical substructures with cluster models⋆ Evidence of a separate evolution in the metal-poor thin disk(EDP SCIENCES, 2016-02) Rojas-Arriagada, A.; Recio-Blanco, A.; de Laverny, P.; Schultheis, M.; Guiglion, G.; Mikolaitis, Š.; Kordopatis, G.; Hill, V.; Gilmore, G.; Randich, S.; Alfaro, E.

G.; Sbordone, L.The Gaia-ESO Survey was designed to target all major Galactic components (i.e. bulge, thin and thick discs, halo and clusters), with the goal of constraining the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Milky Way. This paper presents the methodology and considerations that drive the selection of the targeted, allocated and successfully observed Milky Way field stars. The detailed understanding of the survey construction, specifically the influence of target selection criteria on observed Milky Way field stars is required in order to analyse and interpret the survey data correctly. We present the target selection process for the Milky Way field stars observed with Very Large Telescope/Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph and provide the weights that characterize the survey target selection. The weights can be used to account for the selection effects in the Gaia-ESO Survey data for scientific studies. We provide a couple of simple examples to highlight the necessity of including such information in studies of the stellar populations in the Milky Way.
