Abundances of P, S, and K in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE
B. Barbuy, H. Ernandes, A. C. S. Friaça +25
We have previously studied several elements in 58 selected bulge spheroid stars, based on spectral lines in the H-band. We now derive the abundances of the less-studied elements ph…
Abundances of iron-peak elements in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE
B. Barbuy, A. C. S. Friaça, H. Ernandes +22
Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge.…
The R-Process Alliance: Analysis of Limited-r Stars
T. Xylakis-Dornbusch, T. T. Hansen, T. C. Beers +8
Context. In recent years, the R-Process Alliance (RPA) has conducted a successful search for stars enhanced in elements produced by the rapid neutron-capture (r-)process. In partic…
NLTE analysis of the methylidyne radical (CH) molecular lines in metal-poor stellar atmospheres
S. A. Popa, R. Hoppe, M. Bergemann +3
An analysis of the CH molecule in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) is performed for the physical conditions of cool stellar atmospheres typical of red giants (log g = 2.0…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
Abundances of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars as constraints on their formation
C. J. Hansen, B. Nordstroem, T. T. Hansen +6
An increasing fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars is found as their iron abundance, [Fe/H], decreases below [Fe/H] = -2.0. The CEMP-s stars have the highest absolut…
Chemical abundances of the metal-poor horizontal-branch stars CS 22186-005 and CS 30344-033
S. Caliskan, E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio +5
We report on a chemical-abundance analysis of two very metal-poor horizontal-branch stars in the Milky Way halo: CS 22186-005 ([Fe/H]=-2.70) and CS 30344-033 ([Fe/H]=-2.90). The an…
First stars XIII. Two extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars?
C. J. Hansen, B. Nordstroem, P. Bonifacio +11
The chemical composition of extremely metal-poor stars (EMP stars; [Fe/H]<~ -3) is a unique tracer of early nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. As such stars are rare, we wish to find c…
First Stars XIV. Sulfur abundances in extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars
Monique Spite, E. Caffau, S. M. Andrievsky +15
Sulfur is important: the site of its formation is uncertain, and at very low metallicity the trend of [S/Fe] against [Fe/H] is controversial. Below [Fe/H]=-2.0, [S/Fe] remains cons…
The Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey (HERES) IV. Detailed abundance analysis and age dating of the strongly r-process enhanced stars CS 29491-069 and HE 1219-0312
W. Hayek, U. Wiesendahl, N. Christlieb +8
We report on a detailed abundance analysis of two strongly r-process enhanced, very metal-poor stars newly discovered in the HERES project, CS 29491-069 ([Fe/H]=-2.51, [r/Fe]=+1.1)…
The Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey (HERES). I. Project description, and discovery of two stars with strong enhancements of neutron-capture elements
N. Christlieb, T. C. Beers, P. S. Barklem +15
We report on a dedicated effort to identify and study metal-poor stars strongly enhanced in r-process elements ([r/Fe] > 1 dex; hereafter r-II stars), the Hamburg/ESO R-process Enh…
Measurement of stellar age from uranium decay
R. Cayrel, V. Hill, T. Beers +10
The ages of the oldest stars in the Galaxy indicate when star formation began, and provide a minimum age for the Universe. Radioactive dating of meteoritic material and stars relie…
