Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis

M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41

On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…

Detailed chemical abundance analysis of the thick disk star cluster Gaia 1

Andreas Koch, Terese T. Hansen, Andrea Kunder

Star clusters, particularly those objects in the disk-bulge-halo interface are as of yet poorly charted, albeit carrying important information about the formation and the structure…

Chemical Abundance Analysis of Three -Poor, Metal-Poor Stars in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Horologium I

D. Q. Nagasawa, J. L. Marshall, J. D. Simon +68

We present chemical abundance measurements of three stars in the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Horologium I, a Milky Way satellite discovered by the Dark Energy Survey. Using high resol…

RAVE J203843.2-002333: The first highly r-process-enhanced star identified in the RAVE survey

Vinicius M. Placco, Erika M. Holmbeck, Anna Frebel +9

We report the discovery of RAVE J203843.2-002333, a bright (V = 12.73), very metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -2.91), r-process-enhanced ([Eu/Fe] = +1.64 and [Ba/Eu] = -0.81) star selected fro…

An R-process enhanced star in the dwarf galaxy Tucana III

T. T. Hansen, J. D. Simon, J. L. Marshall +48

Chemically peculiar stars in dwarf galaxies provide a window for exploring the birth environment of stars with varying chemical enrichment. We present a chemical abundance analysis…
