OCCAM X. Neutron Capture Abundances with Keck/HIRES & Magellan/MIKE
Natalie R. Myers, Peter M. Frinchaboy, Henrique Reggiani +10
The chemistry of stars provides powerful insight into the history of the Milky Way. With multiple large-sky spectroscopic surveys that are currently available, using chemistry as a…
The Apache Point Observatory extra-Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOeGEE): Chemical Abundance Trends for Seven Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the APOGEE Survey
Matthew Shetrone, Rachael L. Beaton, Christian R. Hayes +10
In addition to comprehensive surveys of the Milky Way bulge, disk, and halo, the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) project observed seven dwarf spheroidal satelli…
Extending the [C/N]-Age Calibration: Using Globular Clusters to Explore Older and Metal-Poor Populations
Taylor Spoo, Katelyn Thomas, Ellie "Kaleo" Toguchi-Tani +8
In the coming years, detailed chemical abundances from large-scale high-resolution spectroscopic surveys will become available for vast numbers of stars across the Milky Way. Previ…
Distribution of Europium in The Milky Way Disk; Its Connection to Planetary Habitability and The Source of The R-Process
Evan M. Carrasco, Matthew Shetrone, Francis Nimmo +3
The energy provided in the radioactive decay of thorium (Th) and uranium (U) isotopes, embedded in planetary mantles, sustains geodynamics important for surface habitability such a…
