Evidence for Enhanced Helium Enrichment from Asteroseismology

Miqaela K. Weller, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Jennifer A. Johnson +1

The helium abundance of a star has a dramatic effect on luminosity, internal structure, and evolutionary timescales, yet direct helium measurements are unavailable for most stars.…

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day: [Ce/Mg] Is Not a Universal Chemical Clock

Liam O. Dubay, Jennifer A. Johnson, James W. Johnson +14

The ratio of -process to -element enrichment () has been proposed as a ``chemical clock,'' or a means to estimate stellar ages. However, the age-- relation vari…

[C/N] Ages and Extra-Mixing for [Fe/H] <- 0.5: Insights from the LMC and SMC

Yuxi Lu, John D. Roberts, Joshua T. Povick +4

The [C/N]-age relation has become a powerful tool for reconstructing the formation history of the Milky Way (MW), providing the largest age sample for field giant stars. However, a…

Checking It Twice: Using [C/N]-Masses and Asteroseismic Masses as a Diagnostic of Mass Loss and Transfer on the RGB

John D. Roberts, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Jennifer A. Johnson +1

The surface [C/N] of red giants is correlated with birth mass, but not directly impacted by mass loss. Exploiting this, we compare asteroseismic masses of red giants with the same…

Untangling the Sources of Abundance Dispersion in Low-metallicity Stars II: Neutron Capture Elements

Emily J. Griffith, Marissa Blum, David H. Weinberg +4

We present the abundances of 23 elements, including 11 heavy elements (Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu) for up to 86 metal-poor (-2 < [Fe/H] < -1) subgiants. We use KORG,…

Spectroscopic Follow-up of Young High- Dwarf Star Candidates: Still Likely Genuinely Young

Yuxi Lu, Catherine Manea, Maryum Sayeed +9

The question of whether genuinely young high- stars exist has been discussed for over a decade since their discovery from asteroseismology of giant stars as it is challenging to…
