Exploring the History of Stellar Mergers with Chemistry: Examining the Origins of Massive -Enriched Stars using Carbon Isotope Ratios
Zachary G. Maas, Keith Hawkins, Jeffrey M. Gerber +2
Recently discovered massive -enriched (MAE) stars have surface chemistry consistent with members of the older thick disk Milky Way population but high masses ( 1.5 - 3 M$…
