From actinides to zinc: Using the full abundance pattern of the brightest star in Reticulum II to distinguish between different r-process sites

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Alexander P. Ji, Anna Frebel, , , | Summary: The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II was enriched by a rare and prolific r-process event, such as a neutron star merger. To investigate the nature of this event, we present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy of the brightest star in […]
