Observational constraints on the origin of the elements. IX. 3D NLTE abundances of metals in the context of Galactic Chemical Evolution Models and 4MOST

Nicholas Storm, Maria Bergemann, Philipp Eitner +8

Historically, various methods have been employed to understand the origin of the elements, including observations of elemental abundances which have been compared to Galactic Chemi…

Using Binary Population Synthesis to Examine the Impact of Binary Evolution on the C, N, O, and -Process Yields of Solar-Metallicity Low- and Intermediate-Mass Stars

Zara Osborn, Amanda I. Karakas, Alex J. Kemp +3

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars play a significant role in our understanding of the origin of the elements. They contribute to the abundances of C, N, and approximately …

Nova contributions to the chemical evolution of the Milky Way

Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +3

Context. The explosive burning that drives nova eruptions results in unique nucleosynthesis that heavily over-produces certain isotopes relative to the solar abundance. However, no…

Aluminium-26 production in low- and intermediate-mass binary systems

Zara Osborn, Amanda I. Karakas, Alex J. Kemp +1

Aluminium-26 is a radioactive isotope which can be synthesized within asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, primarily through hot bottom burning. Studies exploring Al product…

Modelling stellar evolution in mass-transferring binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors with METISSE

Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +3

Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physic…

Viability of novae as sources of Galactic lithium

Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +3

Of all the light elements, the evolution of lithium (Li) in the Milky Way is perhaps the most difficult to explain. Li is difficult to synthesize and is easily destroyed, making mo…

The impact of metallicity on nova populations

Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +2

The metallicity of a star affects its evolution in a variety of ways, changing stellar radii, luminosities, lifetimes, and remnant properties. In this work, we use the population s…

Population synthesis of accreting white dwarfs: Rates and evolutionary pathways of H and He novae

Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +5

Novae are some of the most commonly detected optical transients and have the potential to provide valuable information about binary evolution. Binary population synthesis codes hav…

Discovery of s-process enhanced stars in the LAMOST survey

Brodie J Norfolk, Andrew R Casey, Amanda I Karakas +7

Here we present the discovery of 895 s-process-rich candidates from 454,180 giant stars observed by the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) using a d…

On the discovery of K-enhanced and possibly Mg-depleted stars throughout the Milky Way

Alex J. Kemp, Andrew R. Casey, Matthew T. Miles +8

Stars with unusual elemental abundances offer clues about rare astrophysical events or nucleosynthetic pathways. Stars with significantly depleted magnesium and enhanced potassium…
