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…

Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V

Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28

The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…

Recent Advances in Understanding R-Process Nucleosynthesis in Metal-Poor Stars and Stellar Systems

Avrajit Bandyopadhyay, Timothy C. Beers

The rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is responsible for the creation of roughly half of the elements heavier than iron, including precious metals like silver, gold, and pl…

Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy

Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…

Probing Abundance Variations among Multiple Stellar Populations in the Metal-Poor Globular Cluster NGC 2298 using Gemini-South/GHOST

Avrajit Bandyopadhyay, Rana Ezzeddine, Vinicius M. Placco +3

Studying the abundances in metal-poor globular clusters is crucial for understanding the formation of the Galaxy and the nucleosynthesis processes in the early Universe. We observe…

The R-Process Alliance: Fifth Data Release from the Search for R-Process-Enhanced Metal-poor Stars in the Galactic Halo with the GTC

Avrajit Bandyopadhyay, Rana Ezzeddine, Carlos Allende Prieto +9

Understanding the abundance pattern of metal-poor stars and the production of heavy elements through various nucleosynthesis processes offers crucial insights into the chemical evo…

A chemodynamical analysis of bright metal-poor stars from the HESP-GOMPA survey -- Indications of a non-prevailing site for light r-process elements

Avrajit Bandyopadhyay, Timothy C Beers, Rana Ezzeddine +5

We present a comprehensive analysis of the detailed chemical abundances for a sample of 11 metal-poor, very metal-poor and extremely metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] = -1.65 to [Fe/H] = -3…

Near-UV and optical spectroscopic investigation of late-type stars from MIRA/Oliver Observing Station

Subhajeet Karmakar, Avrajit Bandyopadhyay, Wm. Bruce Weaver +4

Late-type stars are the most abundant in the galactic stellar population. These stars, with a similar internal structure to the Sun, are expected to have solar-like atmospheres. In…
