Binaries drive high Type Ia supernova rates in dwarf galaxies

James W. Johnson, Christopher S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek

The scaling of the specific Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate with host galaxy stellar mass as measured in ASAS-SN and DES strongly s…

Dwarf galaxy archaeology from chemical abundances and star formation histories

James W. Johnson, Charlie Conroy, Benjamin D. Johnson +8

We model the stellar abundances and ages of two disrupted dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way stellar halo: Gaia-Sausage Enceladus (GSE) and Wukong/LMS-1. Using a statistically robust…

Birth of the Galactic Disk Revealed by the H3 Survey

Charlie Conroy, David H. Weinberg, Rohan P. Naidu +12

We use chemistry ([alpha/Fe] and [Fe/H]), main sequence turnoff ages, and kinematics determined from H3 Survey spectroscopy and Gaia astrometry to identify the birth of the Galacti…

Primordial helium-3 redux: The helium isotope ratio of the Orion nebula

Ryan J. Cooke, Pasquier Noterdaeme, James W. Johnson +5

We report the first direct measurement of the helium isotope ratio, 3He/4He, outside of the Local Interstellar Cloud, as part of science verification observations with the upgraded…

Empirical Constraints on the Nucleosynthesis of Nitrogen

James W. Johnson, David H. Weinberg, Fiorenzo Vincenzo +2

We derive empirical constraints on the nucleosynthetic yields of nitrogen by incorporating N enrichment into our previously developed and empirically tuned multi-zone galactic chem…

Residual Abundances in GALAH DR3: Implications for Nucleosynthesis and Identification of Unique Stellar Populations

Emily J. Griffith, David H. Weinberg, Sven Buder +3

We investigate the [X/Mg] abundances of 16 elements for 82,910 Galactic disk stars from GALAH+ DR3. We fit the median trends of low-Ia and high-Ia populations with a two-process mo…

CNO dredge-up in a sample of APOGEE/Kepler red giants: Tests of stellar models and Galactic evolutionary trends of N/O and C/N

Fiorenzo Vincenzo, David H. Weinberg, Josefina Montalbán +8

Surface abundances of C, N, and O in red giants are affected by processed material mixed into the stars' convective envelopes. Using a sample of stars with elemental ab…

Stellar Migration and Chemical Enrichment in the Milky Way Disc: A Hybrid Model

James W. Johnson, David H. Weinberg, Fiorenzo Vincenzo +6

We develop a hybrid model of galactic chemical evolution that combines a multi-ring computation of chemical enrichment with a prescription for stellar migration and the vertical di…

The Impact of Black Hole Formation on Population Averaged Supernova Yields

Emily J. Griffith, Tuguldur Sukhbold, David H. Weinberg +3

The landscape of black hole (BH) formation -- which massive stars explode as core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) and which implode to BHs -- profoundly affects the IMF-averaged nucleos…

Nucleosynthesis signatures of neutrino-driven winds from proto-neutron stars: a perspective from chemical evolution models

Fiorenzo Vincenzo, Todd A. Thompson, David H. Weinberg +3

We test the hypothesis that the observed first-peak (Sr, Y, Zr) and second-peak (Ba) s-process elemental abundances in low-metallicity Milky Way stars, and the abundances of the el…

The Impact of Starbursts on Element Abundance Ratios

James W. Johnson, David H. Weinberg

We investigate the impact of bursts in star formation on the predictions of one-zone chemical evolution models, adopting oxygen (O), iron (Fe), and strontium (Sr), as representativ…
