Identical or fraternal twins? : The chemical homogeneity of wide binaries from Gaia DR2

Keith Hawkins, Madeline Lucey, Yuan-Sen Ting +7

One of the high-level goals of Galactic archaeology is chemical tagging of stars across the Milky Way to piece together its assembly history. For this to work, stars born together…

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…
