Gaia FGK benchmark stars: Abundances of n-capture elements of the third version

The study determined neutron-capture element abundances for nine elements—Yttrium through Europium—in Gaia FGK benchmark stars. This provides a robust reference scale for the third GBS release, allowing chemical abundances to serve as precise tracers of Milky Way star formation history and chemical evolution.
