The Impact of the New Fe Decay Rates on Fe and Al Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars

Bingyang Tan, Wenyu Xin, Ruizheng Jiang +2

The diffuse -ray emission from short-lived radioactive Al and Fe provides a direct probe of ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. However, theoretical models hav…

HR-GO II: chemical abundances of low- retrograde dynamically-tagged-groups: Revealing Thamnos as a very metal-poor substructure

Renjing Xie, Zhen Yuan, Haining Li +12

Milky Way halo substructures identified in dynamical space are known to suffer from contamination from the Milky Way in-situ stars, which makes their accreted origins uncertain. We…

Abundance Pattern Fitting with Bayesian Inference: Constraining First Stars' Properties and Their Explosion Mechanism with Extremely Metal-poor Stars

Ruizheng Jiang, Haining Li, Gang Zhao +2

The abundance patterns of extremely metal-poor stars preserve a fossil record of the Universe's earliest chemical enrichment by the supernova explosions from the evolution of first…

An Actinide-boost Star Discovered in the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus

Yangming Lin, Haining Li, Ruizheng Jiang +6

We report the discovery of an actinide-boost, very metal-poor (), -process-enhanced () star, LAMOST J0804+5…

A Modified Initial Mass Function of the First Stars with Explodability Theory under Different Enrichment Scenarios

Ruizheng Jiang, Gang Zhao, Haining Li +1

The most metal-poor stars record the earliest metal enrichment triggered by Population III stars. By comparing observed abundance patterns with theoretical yields of metal-free sta…
