On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes:. IX. Radial velocities

K. Baeza-Villagra, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +25

We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of radial velocity (RV) measurements for field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables, based on both proprietary and publicly available spectr…

The -Process Alliance: Actinide Abundances, Variation, and Evolution in Metal-Poor Stars

Shivani P. Shah, Rana Ezzeddine, Erika M. Holmbeck +11

The actinides, including thorium (Th), are the heaviest observable elements synthesized in the universe, holding clues to the extremes of the astrophysical and nuclear conditions o…

The R-Process Alliance: Exploring the cosmic scatter among ten r-process sites with stellar abundances

Mila Racca, Terese T. Hansen, Ian U. Roederer +11

The astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron, remains uncertain. The oldest, most metal-po…

Rare Find: Discovery and chemo-dynamical properties of two s-process enhanced RR Lyrae stars

Valentina D'Orazi, Giuliano Iorio, Borbála Cseh +15

We report the serendipitous discovery of two RR Lyrae stars exhibiting significant s-process element enrichment, a rare class previously represented solely by TY Gruis. Our goal is…

New Abundance Determinations of Cadmium, Lutetium, and Osmium in the r-process Enriched Star BD+173248

Ian U. Roederer, Christopher Sneden, James E. Lawler +1

We report the detection of Cd I (Z = 48), Lu II (Z = 71), and Os II (Z = 76) in the metal-poor star BD+173248. These abundances are derived from an ultraviolet spectrum obtained wi…
