The -Process Alliance: On J00101735, an Accreted, Chemically Unusual, Metal-poor Star with -process Enhancement

Zoe Hackshaw, Rana Ezzeddine, Shivani P. Shah +11

We present a detailed chemo-dynamical analysis of the chemically peculiar very metal-poor ([Fe/H]) Milky Way (MW) halo star, 2MASS J001017581735387 (hereafter J0…

Payne4GAIN: NLTE Corrections for Red Giants in Milky Way Mapper using H-Band Neural Network Emulators

Pierre Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, Nicholas Storm +12

The majority of spectroscopic surveys assume local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) during the modeling of stellar spectra. This assumption begins to break down for luminous stars,…

The \emph{R}-process Alliance: A Bright, Strongly \emph{R}-process-enhanced Extremely Metal-poor Star Observed with GHOST

Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Vinicius M. Placco +8

We present a detailed chemical-abundance and kinematic analysis of four extremely metal-poor (EMP; [Fe/H] ) stars identified from \textit{Gaia} BP/RP data in our ongoing…

The -Process Alliance: Actinide Abundances, Variation, and Evolution in Metal-Poor Stars

Shivani P. Shah, Rana Ezzeddine, Erika M. Holmbeck +11

The actinides, including thorium (Th), are the heaviest observable elements synthesized in the universe, holding clues to the extremes of the astrophysical and nuclear conditions o…

The R-Process Alliance: Exploring the cosmic scatter among ten r-process sites with stellar abundances

Mila Racca, Terese T. Hansen, Ian U. Roederer +11

The astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron, remains uncertain. The oldest, most metal-po…

Investigating non-LTE abundances of Neodymium (Nd) in metal-poor FGK stars

John D. Dixon, Rana Ezzeddine, Yangyang Li +3

The dominant site(s) of the -process are a subject of current debate. Ejecta from -process enrichment events like kilonovae are difficult to directly measure, so we must inst…
