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…

Strong Variability in AzV 493, an Extreme Oe-Type Star in the SMC

M. S. Oey, N. Castro, M. Renzo +11

We present 18 years of OGLE photometry together with spectra obtained over 12 years, revealing that the early Oe star AzV 493 shows strong photometric (Delta I < 1.2 mag) and spect…

R-Process elements from magnetorotational hypernovae

D. Yong, C. Kobayashi, G. S. Da Costa +11

Neutron-star mergers were recently confirmed as sites of rapid-neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis. However, in Galactic chemical evolution models, neutron-star mergers alo…

The R-process Alliance: First Magellan/MIKE Release from the Southern Search for R-Process-enhanced Stars

Rana Ezzeddine, Kaitlin Rasmussen, Anna Frebel +9

Extensive progress has been recently made into our understanding of heavy element production via the -process in the Universe, specifically with the first observed neutron star…

The lowest detected stellar Fe abundance: The halo star SMSS J160540.18-144323.1

T. Nordlander, M. S. Bessell, G. S. Da Costa +12

We report the discovery of SMSS J160540.18-144323.1, a new ultra-metal poor halo star discovered with the SkyMapper telescope. We measure [Fe/H] = -6.2 +- 0.2 (1D LTE), the lowest…

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.…
