Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- II: From patterns to paths

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

The element abundances of Milky Way disc stars encode entangled imprints of multiple enrichment processes, making it difficult to uncover the underlying chemical evolution. Here we…

Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- I. Shared disc enrichment patterns

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

Elemental abundances in the Milky Way disc trace its star-formation and enrichment history, but predicting these abundances from theory is limited by uncertain nucleosynthetic yiel…

Metallicity fluctuation statistics in the interstellar medium and young stars -- II. Elemental cross-correlations and the structure of chemical abundance space

Mark R. Krumholz, Yuan-Sen Ting, Zefeng Li +3

Observations of Milky Way stars by multiplexed spectroscopic instruments and of gas in nearby galaxies using integral field units have made it possible to measure the abundances of…

Four Elements to Rule Them All: Abundances are Rigidly Coupled in the Milky Way Disk

Jennifer Mead, Rebeca De La Garza, Melissa Ness

Chemical tagging is a central pursuit of galactic archaeology, but requires sufficiently discriminative abundances to uniquely identify sites of star formation. This task is compli…

Measuring Dwarf Galaxy Intrinsic Abundance Scatter with Mid-resolution Spectroscopic Surveys: Calibrating APOGEE Abundance Errors

Jennifer Mead, Melissa Ness, Eric Andersson +2

The first generations of stars left their chemical fingerprints on metal-poor stars in the Milky Way and its surrounding dwarf galaxies. While instantaneous and homogeneous enrichm…
