I thought that these objects, Eridanus III and DELVE 1, would be ordinary star clusters. But I was wrong! The brightest star in each is extremely metal-poor, highly enriched in carbon and nitrogen, and contains very little barium and strontium. This combination doesn't exist in globular clusters. 🔭

🔭 Paper announcement! With @alexji.bsky.social, @wcerny.bsky.social, and a host of others, we analyze some of the first spectroscopy of stars in compact (r < 10 pc), ultra-faint Milky Way satellites in arxiv.org/abs/2410.08276. Our two target systems are highlighted here:
