Chemical Analysis of the Brightest Star of the Cetus II Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Candidate

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the brightest star in the ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxy candidate Cetus II from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra.

Understanding the Chemical Evolution of Blue Edge-on Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a sample of 330 blue edge-on low surface brightness galaxies (ELSBGs). To understand the chemical evolution of ELSBGs, we derived the gas-phase abundance and the [ α /Fe] ratio.

Direct D-atom Incorporation in Radicals: An Overlooked Pathway for Deuterium Fractionation

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Direct D-H exchange in radicals is investigated in a quasi-uniform flow employing chirped-pulse millimeter-wave spectroscopy. Inspired by the H-atom catalyzed isomerization of C _3 H _2 reported in our previous study, D-atom reactions with the propargyl (

On the Hunt for the Origins of the Orphan–Chenab Stream: Detailed Element Abundances with APOGEE and Gaia

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Stellar streams in the Galactic halo are useful probes of the assembly of galaxies like the Milky Way. Many tidal stellar streams that have been found in recent years are accompanied by a known progenitor globular cluster or dwarf galaxy.

Observing the signatures of AGB s-process nucleosynthesis in planetary nebulae: An origins story

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
I relate an anecdotal history of the beginnings of a new initiative in studies of the chemical composition of planetary nebulae: namely, investigating abundances of elements beyond the iron-peak through infrared spectroscopy.

Chemical Tracing and the Origin of Carbon in the Galactic Disk

Universe, 2022
A basic problem in studies of the evolution of chemical elements in galaxies is the uncertainties in the yields of elements produced by different types of stars.

High-resolution Chemical Abundances of the Nyx Stream

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Nyx is a nearby, prograde, and high-eccentricity stellar stream physically contained in the thick disk, but its origin is unknown. Nyx could be the remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy, in which case the associated dark matter substructure could affect ...

Recent Development of the Atomic Line List

Galaxies, 2018
The Atomic Line List is an online database of wavelengths and transition probabilities of atomic lines. It is primarily set up as a tool to help identify unknown spectral features.

Li-rich Giants Identified from LAMOST DR8 Low-resolution Survey

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
A small fraction of giants possess photospheric lithium (Li) abundance higher than the value predicted by the standard stellar evolution models, and the detailed mechanisms of Li enhancement are complicated and lack a definite conclusion.

A Systematic NLTE Study of Very Metal-poor Stars with Metallicity down to −4.3 dex. I. Global Stellar Parameters Based on High-resolution Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
Very metal-poor (VMP) stars provide a record of the chemical composition and dynamics of the early Galaxy. Based on the high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio spectra from the Subaru Telescope for 103 VMP stars, in this series of papers we ...
