Concerning Li-rich status of KIC~9821622: A Kepler field RGB star reported as Li-rich Giant
Raghubar Singh, Bharat Kumar Yerra, Bacham E. Reddy +1
Given the implications for the origin of Li enhancement in red giants we have reviewed Li-rich classification of KIC~9821622, the only bonafide RGB giant with He inert-core till da…
The effect of our local motion on the Sandage-Loeb test of the cosmic expansion
Takuya Inoue, Eiichiro Komatsu, Wako Aoki +3
Redshifts of an astronomical body measured at multiple epochs (e.g., separated by 10 years) are different due to the cosmic expansion. This so-called Sandage-Loeb test offers a dir…
Self-lensing Discovery of a White Dwarf in an Unusually Wide Orbit Around a Sun-like Star
Kento Masuda, Hajime Kawahara, David W. Latham +4
We report the discovery of the fifth self-lensing binary in which a low-mass white dwarf (WD) gravitationally magnifies its 15th magnitude G-star companion, KIC 8145411, during ecl…
Current Status of r-Process Nucleosynthesis
T. Kajino, W. Aoki, A. B. Balantekin +3
The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some…
Evidence for the accretion origin of halo stars with an extreme r-process enhancement
Qian-Fan Xing, Gang Zhao, Wako Aoki +4
Small stellar systems like dwarf galaxies are suggested to be the main building blocks of our Galaxy by numerical simulations in Lambda CDM models. The existence of star streams li…
Evidence for an aspherical Population III supernova explosion inferred from the hyper metal-poor star HE1327-2326
Rana Ezzeddine, Anna Frebel, Ian U. Roederer +6
We present observational evidence that an aspherical supernova explosion could have occurred in the First stars in the early universe. Our results are based on the First determinat…
