ABRIDGED: METHODS: We have conducted a high-resolution spectroscopic study of 714 F and G dwarf and subgiant stars in the Solar neighbourhood. The star sample has been kinematically selected to trace the Galactic thin and thick disks to their extremes...... The determination of stellar parameters and elemental abundances is based on a standard 1-D LTE analysis using equivalent width measurements in high-resolution (R=40000-110000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N=150-300) spectra obtained with..... RESULTS: .... Our data show that there is an old and alpha-enhanced disk population, and a younger and less alpha-enhanced disk population. While they overlap greatly in metallicity between -0.7<[Fe/H]<+0.1, they show a bimodal distribution in [alpha/Fe]. This bimodality becomes even clearer if stars where stellar parameters and abundances show larger uncertainties (Teff<5400 K) are discarded, showing that it is important to constrain the data set to a narrow range in the stellar parameters if small differences between stellar populations are to be revealed. We furthermore find that the alpha-enhanced population has orbital parameters placing the stellar birthplaces in the inner Galactic disk while the low-alpha stars mainly come from the outer Galactic disk........... We furthermore have discovered that a standard 1-D, LTE analysis, utilising ionisation and excitation balance of Fe I and Fe II lines produces a flat lower main sequence. As the exact cause for this effect is unclear we chose to apply an empirical correction. Turn-off, and more evolved, stars, appears to be un-affected.

  1. An Acceleration is Worth a Hundred Thousand Phase Space Measurements

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    One acceleration measurement equals ~10^5 phase-space measurements for local dark matter density estimation, with acceleration outperforming Jeans modeling in both equilibrium and perturbed Milky Way simulations.

  2. Unveiling the nature of barium stars. I. Asteroseismic masses and the evolutionary link between Ba dwarfs and giants

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Asteroseismic masses average 1.29 Msun for Ba dwarfs versus 1.96 Msun for Ba giants, supporting main-sequence accretion evolution from dwarfs to giants, though models fail to match the observed [hs/ls] ratio.

  3. Inferring the role of binary neutron star mergers in r-process nucleosynthesis with multi-messenger observations using Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new redshift-correlation technique with third-generation GW detectors can constrain the BNS contribution to cosmic r-process nucleosynthesis to 5-6% precision via Fisher forecasts on mock bright- and dark-siren data.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    JWST spectra reveal that two z~7 galaxies already show near-solar iron-to-silicon ratios with no strong odd-even effect, favoring early Type Ia supernovae over pair-instability supernovae as the source of iron enrichment.

  5. Empirical colour--effective temperature relations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of GALAH and APOGEE stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    New empirical color-Teff calibrations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of 3902 GALAH and 2535 APOGEE stars, with 30-50 K precision for long-baseline colors.

  6. TOI-7154b: A Close-in Massive Brown Dwarf in an Eccentric Orbit

    astro-ph.EP 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    TOI-7154b is a 71.7 M_J brown dwarf in an 8.86-day eccentric orbit around a G star, with eccentricity and age suggesting stellar-like fragmentation origins.

  7. The Sc, Ti, and V Abundance Discrepancy: Testing High-Mass IMF Variation and Massive-Star Rotation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Rotating massive-star yields at 300 km/s improve agreement with metal-poor Sc, Ti, V abundances in one-zone GCE models, with IMF slope variations providing secondary modulation.
