The \emph{R}-process Alliance: A Bright, Strongly \emph{R}-process-enhanced Extremely Metal-poor Star Observed with GHOST
Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Vinicius M. Placco +8
We present a detailed chemical-abundance and kinematic analysis of four extremely metal-poor (EMP; [Fe/H] ) stars identified from \textit{Gaia} BP/RP data in our ongoing…
The -Process Alliance: The -Process Enhancement of Stars from Chemodynamically Tagged Groups in the Milky Way Halo
Jessica Merritt Agnos, Charli M. Sakari, Pedro Silva +9
As part of the ongoing work of the -Process Alliance (RPA), detailed abundance measurements of 29 heavy elements in three metal-poor stars, 2MASS J145929813852558, 2MASS J194…
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…
The R-Process Alliance: Exploring the cosmic scatter among ten r-process sites with stellar abundances
Mila Racca, Terese T. Hansen, Ian U. Roederer +11
The astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron, remains uncertain. The oldest, most metal-po…
The -Process Alliance: Enrichment of -process Elements in a Simulated Milky Way-like Galaxy
Yutaka Hirai, Timothy C. Beers, Young Sun Lee +11
We study the formation of stars with varying amounts of heavy elements synthesized by the rapid neutron-capture process (-process) based on our detailed cosmological zoom-in sim…
Accreted Globular Clusters and Horizontal Branch Morphology in the Outer Halo of M31
Gracie McGill, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Dougal Mackey +7
M31 hosts a rich population of outer halo ( kpc) globular clusters (GCs), many of which show strong evidence for spatial and/or kinematical associations with la…
