  2. 12. Exploring the Origin of Light Heavy Elements: bridging experiments, theory, and observations
    Thanassis Psaltis (TUNL/NCSU)
    11/09/2023, 14:05

    The light heavy elements between strontium and silver, can be synthesized in a primary process in either neutron- (weak r-process) or proton-rich (νp-process) neutrino-driven outflows of explosive environments [1]. Constraining the nuclear physics uncertainties, for example the (α,xn) reaction rates in the weak r-process [2,3], allows us to investigate the conditions that create the light ...

  3. 11. The Photometric Revolution – Stellar Parameters and Elemental Abundances for over 50 Million Stars … and Counting
    Prof. Timothy Beers (University of Notre Dame)
    11/09/2023, 14:50

    Galactic Archaeologists are opening a revolutionary era for the determination of stellar parameters, such as effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, and ages, for a substantial fraction of the stars in the Milky Way, and eventually in dwarf galaxies and other nearby galaxies of the Local Group. The most recent surveys implement a combination of narrow- and intermediate-band...

  4. 10. The R-Process Alliance - mapping the r-process with stellar abundances
    Terese Hansen (Stockholm University)
    11/09/2023, 15:10

    How to make gold and silver? -The long-sought-after answer to this question remains one of the most challenging open problems that tie together nuclear physics with astronomy. Heavy elements like gold and silver are produced in the so-called rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). This process only occurs in rare explosive events in the Universe like supernovae (SNe) and neutron star...
