Origins of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017
AbstractWe investigate the nature of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in Milky Way (MW) analogues selected from the eagle cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. The stellar evolution model in eagle includes the physics of enrichment by asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, winds from massive stars, and Type Ia and Type II supernovae (SNe).

Could the Ultra Metal-poor Stars be Chemically Peculiar and Not Related to the First Stars? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Chemically peculiar stars define a class of stars that show unusual elemental abundances due to stellar photospheric effects and not due to natal variations.

Th Ages for Metal‐poor Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2001
With a sample of 22 metal-poor stars, we demonstrate that the heavy element abundance pattern (Z > 55) is the same as the r-process contributions to the solar nebula. This bolsters the results of previous studies that there is a universal r-process production pattern.

Metallicity Distribution Functions of 13 Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidates from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present uniformly measured stellar metallicities of 463 stars in 13 Milky Way (MW) ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; M _V = −7.1 to −0.8) using narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope.

α-elements in mildly metal-poor stars [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005
Accurate relative abundances of light elements (C to Ca) have been obtained in a sample of mildly metal-poor stars (Decauwer et al . 2005). Combined with the results of a previous study (Jehin et al . 1999), we find different slopes in the correlations between the different α-elements.

On the Origins of Extreme Velocity Stars as Revealed by Large-scale Galactic Surveys

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We assemble a large sample of 12,784 high-velocity stars with total velocity V _GSR ≥ 300 km s ^−1 , selected from RAVE DR5, SDSS DR12, LAMOST DR8, APOGEE DR16, GALAH DR2, and Gaia EDR3.
