Aeos: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback

Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan +7

We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological h…

The Impact of Nuclear Physics Uncertainties on Galactic Chemical Evolution Predictions

Benoit Côté, Pavel Denissenkov, Falk Herwig +7

Modeling the evolution of the elements in the Milky Way is a multidisciplinary and challenging task. In addition to simulating the 13 billion years evolution of our Galaxy, chemica…

Enrichment of the Galactic disc with neutron-capture elements: Mo and Ru

Tamara Mishenina, Marco Pignatari, Tatiana Gorbaneva +4

We present new observational data for the heavy elements molybdenum (Mo, Z = 42) and ruthenium (Ru, Z = 44) in F-, G-, and K-stars belonging to different substructures of the Milky…

SYGMA: Stellar Yields for Galactic Modeling Applications

Christian Ritter, Benoit Côté, Falk Herwig +2

The stellar yields for galactic modeling applications (SYGMA) code is an open-source module that models the chemical ejecta and feedback of simple stellar populations (SSPs). It is…

The Origin of r-Process Elements in the Milky Way

Benoit Côté, Chris L. Fryer, Krzysztof Belczynski +8

Some of the heavy elements, such as gold and europium (Eu), are almost exclusively formed by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). However, it is still unclear which astro…

On the Impact of Neutron Star Binaries Natal-Kick Distribution on the Galactic r-process Enrichment

Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Benoit Côté

We study the impact of the neutron star binaries' (NSBs) natal kick distribution on the Galactic r-process enrichment. We model the growth of a Milky Way type halo based on N-body…
