Turning Points in the Age-Metallicity Relations -- Created by Late Satellite Infall and Enhanced by Radial Migration
Yuxi Lu, Melissa K. Ness, Tobias Buck +1
The present-day Age-Metallicity Relation (AMR) is a record of the star formation history of the Galaxy, as this traces the chemical enrichment of the gas over time. We use a zoomed…
Stellar Abundance Maps of the Milky Way Disk
Anna-Christina Eilers, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix +4
To understand the formation of the Milky Way's prominent bar it is important to know whether stars in the bar differ in the chemical element composition of their birth material as…
Neutron-capture elements record the ordered chemical evolution of the disc over time
Danny Horta, Melissa K. Ness, Jan Rybizki +2
An ensemble of chemical abundances probing different nucleosynthetic channels can be leveraged to build a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and structural evolution of th…
Reading the CARDs: the Imprint of Accretion History in the Chemical Abundances of the Milky Way's Stellar Halo
Emily C. Cunningham, Robyn E. Sanderson, Kathryn V. Johnston +7
In the era of large-scale spectroscopic surveys in the Local Group (LG), we can explore using chemical abundances of halo stars to study the star formation and chemical enrichment…
Measuring chemical likeness of stars with RSCA
Damien de Mijolla, Melissa K. Ness
Identification of chemically similar stars using elemental abundances is core to many pursuits within Galactic archaeology. However, measuring the chemical likeness of stars using…
The homogeneity of the star forming environment of the Milky Way disk over time
Melissa K. Ness, Adam J. Wheeler, Kevin McKinnon +4
Stellar abundances and ages afford the means to link chemical enrichment to galactic formation. In the Milky Way, individual element abundances show tight correlations with age, wh…
