R-process-rich stellar streams in the Milky Way

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Maude Gull, Anna Frebel, Karina Hinojosa, Ian U. Roederer, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra of 22 bright ($9<V<13.5$) metal-poor stars ($-3.18<mbox{[Fe/H]}<-1.37$) in three different stellar streams, the Helmi debris stream, the Helmi trail stream, and the $omega$ Centauri progenitor stream. We augment […]

Evidence for a high-energy tail in the gamma-ray spectra of globular clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Deheng Song, Oscar Macias, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Roland M. Crocker, David M. Nataf | Summary: Millisecond pulsars are very likely the main source of gamma-ray emission from globular clusters. However, the relative contributions of two separate emission processes–curvature radiation from millisecond pulsar magnetospheres vs. inverse Compton emission from […]
