Abundance analysis of three new extremely metal-poor stars, including one CEMP-s star

P. François, T. Suda, S. Wanajo +5

We report a detailed abundance analysis of three extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars thanks to spectra obtained with the high-dispersion spectrograph (HDS) at the Subaru telescope. Th…

Near-infrared spectra of chemically peculiar stars and applications to kilonova spectra

Nanae Domoto, Masaomi Tanaka, Wako Aoki +11

Kilonova spectra provide information on rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in neutron star mergers. However, it remains challenging to identify individual elements in kilonova s…

Bright Metal-Poor Star Survey - I. Tomo-e Gozen narrow-band photometric survey and medium-resolution spectroscopic follow-up

Hiroko Okada, Takumi Iwasaki, Nozomu Tominaga +21

We present the Tomo-e Gozen Bright Metal-Poor Star Survey (TeMPS), a wide-area narrow-band photometric survey for bright metal-poor stars in the northern sky. The survey uses the T…

Revealing α-Element's Past with Subaru/IRD: Oxygen Abundance of 35 Very Metal-Poor Stars from Near-IR OH lines

Bakuh Danang Setyo Budi, Wako Aoki, Nicholas Storm +10

Oxygen abundances in very and extremely metal-poor (V/EMP) stars provide critical constraints on early massive stars' nucleosynthesis. An Oxygen abundance analysis is presented for…

A Systematic NLTE Study of Very Metal-Poor Stars with Metallicity Down to dex. II. Lithium Abundance and New Insight to the Lithium Plateau

Hong-Liang Yan, Jinxiao Qin, Shuai Liu +12

Metal-poor stars are crucially important for understanding the early Galaxy, first stars, and the Universe. In this series of papers, we present a homogeneous non-local thermodynam…

SMSS J022423.27573705.1: An Extremely Metal-Poor Star with the Most Pronounced Weak -Process Signature

Hiroko Okada, Wako Aoki, Nozomu Tominaga +1

We present the measurement of 26 elemental abundances of SMSS J022423.27573705.1 (SMSS 02245737), an extremely metal-poor (EMP) star with a weak -process signature. We rep…

Potassium abundances in extremely metal poor stars: Implications for nucleosynthesis in the final stages of massive star evolution

M. N. Ishigaki, N. Tominaga, W. Aoki +5

We present a potassium (K) abundance analysis in extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars based on high-resolution () spectra obtained with the High Dispersion Spectrograph on…

Detailed Chemical Abundance Analysis of Metal-Poor Turn-Off Stars: One with [Fe/H] < -4 and Three with [Fe/H] < -3

Takuma Suda, Patrick Francois, Shinya Wanajo +3

We present the analysis of four new extremely metal poor turn-off stars thanks to high-resolution spectra obtained with the Subaru/HDS spectrograph. We determined the abundances an…

Th/Eu abundance ratio of red giants in the Kepler Field

Ainun Azhari, Tadafumi Matsuno, Wako Aoki +2

The r-process production in the early universe has been well constrained by the extensive studies of metal-poor stars. However, the r-process enrichment in the metal-rich regime is…

Elemental abundances of 44 very metal-poor stars determined from Subaru/IRD near-infrared spectra

Wako Aoki, Timothy C. Beers, Satoshi Honda +12

Abundances of five elements, Na, Mg, Al, Si, and Sr, are investigated for 44 very metal-poor stars (-4.0 < [Fe/H] < -1.5) in the Galactic halo system based on an Local Thermodinami…
