Detailed Abundances in the Ultra-faint Magellanic Satellites Carina II and III

Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li, Joshua D. Simon +15

We present the first detailed elemental abundances in the ultra-faint Magellanic satellite galaxies Carina II (Car II) and Carina III (Car III). With high-resolution Magellan/MIKE…

The lanthanide fraction distribution in metal-poor stars: a test of neutron star mergers as the dominant r-process site

Alexander P. Ji, Maria R. Drout, Terese T. Hansen

Multimessenger observations of the neutron star merger GW170817 and its kilonova proved that neutron star mergers can synthesize large quantities of r-process elements. If neutron…
