The R-Process Alliance: Spectroscopic Follow-up of Low-Metallicity Star Candidates from the Best & Brightest Survey
Vinicius M. Placco, Rafael M. Santucci, Timothy C. Beers +17
We present results from an observing campaign to identify low-metallicity stars in the Best & Brightest Survey. From medium-resolution (R ~ 1, 200 - 2, 000) spectroscopy of 857 can…
The R-Process Alliance: First Release from the Northern Search for r-Process Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Halo
Charli M. Sakari, Vinicius M. Placco, Elizabeth M. Farrell +26
This paper presents the detailed abundances and r-process classifications of 126 newly identified metal-poor stars as part of an ongoing collaboration, the R-Process Alliance. The…
Chemical Abundance Signature of J0023+0307 -- A Second-Generation Main-Sequence Star with [Fe/H]<-6
Anna Frebel, Alexander P. Ji, Rana Ezzeddine +4
We present a chemical abundance analysis of the faint halo metal-poor main-sequence star J0023+0307, with [Fe/H]<-6.3, based on a high-resolution (R~35,000) Magellan/MIKE spectrum.…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
Revisiting the iron abundance in the hyper iron-poor star HE1327-2326 with UV COS/ data
Rana Ezzeddine, Anna Frebel
We present a new iron abundance analysis of the hyper metal-poor star HE1327-2326, based on Fe II lines detected in its UV spectral range for the first time. In a Cosmic Origins…
The R-Process Alliance: Chemical Abundances for a Trio of R-Process-Enhanced Stars -- One Strong, One Moderate, One Mild
Madelyn Cain, Anna Frebel, Maude Gull +9
We present detailed chemical abundances of three new bright (V ~ 11), extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H] ~ -3.0), r-process-enhanced halo red giants based on high-resolution, high-S/N Ma…
