Untangling the Sources of Abundance Dispersion in Low-metallicity Stars II: Neutron Capture Elements
Emily J. Griffith, Marissa Blum, David H. Weinberg +4
We present the abundances of 23 elements, including 11 heavy elements (Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu) for up to 86 metal-poor (-2 < [Fe/H] < -1) subgiants. We use KORG,…
On the Origin of Abundance Variations in the Milky Way's High- Plateau
Tawny Sit, David H. Weinberg, Emily J. Griffith
Using multi-element abundances from the SDSS APOGEE survey, we investigate the origin of abundance variations in Milky Way (MW) disk stars on the "high- plateau," with $-0.5\le…
Many elements matter: Detailed abundance patterns reveal star-formation and enrichment differences among Milky Way structural components
Emily J. Griffith, David W. Hogg, Sten Hasselquist +5
Many nucleosynthetic channels create the elements, but two-parameter models characterized by and Fe nonetheless predict stellar abundances in the Galactic disk to accuracies o…
The Milky Way Radial Metallicity Gradient as an Equilibrium Phenomenon: Why Old Stars are Metal-Rich
James W. Johnson, David H. Weinberg, Guillermo A. Blanc +12
Metallicities of both gas and stars decline toward large radii in spiral galaxies, a trend known as the radial metallicity gradient. We quantify the evolution of the metallicity gr…
