Rapid Chemical Enrichment by Intermittent Star Formation in GN-z11
(2024-02-06)
We interpret the peculiar supersolar nitrogen abundance recently reported by the James Webb Space Telescope observations for GN-z11 (z = 10.6) using our state-of-the-art chemical evolution models. The observed CNO ratios ...
The Andromeda Galaxy’s Last Major Merger: Constraints from the survey of Planetary Nebulae
(The International Astronomical Union, 2023-05-04)
The Andromeda galaxy (M 31) has experienced a tumultuous merger history as evidenced by the many substructures present in its inner halo. We use planetary nebulae (PNe) as chemodynamic tracers to shed light on the recent ...
Chemo-Dynamical Evolution of Galaxies
(Springer Nature, 2023-02-17)
Stars are fossils that retain the history of their host galaxies. Elements heavier than helium are created inside stars and are ejected when they die. From the spatial distribution of elements in galaxies, it is therefore ...
The survey of planetary nebulae in Andromeda (M31). IV. Radial oxygen and argon abundance gradients of the thin and thicker disc
(2022-12-01)
We obtain a magnitude-limited sample of Andromeda (M 31) disc PNe with chemical abundance estimated through the direct detection of the [O III] 4363 Å line. This leads to 205 and 200 PNe with oxygen and argon abundances, ...
The role of mass loss in chemodynamical evolution of galaxies
(2022-11-30)
Thanks to the long-term collaborations between nuclear and astrophysics, we have good understanding on the origin of elements in the universe, except for the elements around Ti and some neutron-capture elements. From the ...
Common envelope jets supernova r-process yields can reproduce $\rm [Eu/Fe]$ abundance evolution in the Galaxy
(2022-02-16)
We use a numerical Galactic chemical evolution model and find that the common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) r-process scenario can account for both the very early average ratio of europium to iron and its evolution at ...
The GALAH Survey: Chemical tagging and chrono-chemodynamics of accreted halo stars with GALAH+ DR3 and $Gaia$ eDR3
(2022-02-01)
Since the advent of $Gaia$ astrometry, it is possible to identify massive accreted systems within the Galaxy through their unique dynamical signatures. One such system, $Gaia$-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE), appears to be an early ...
The COMBS Survey -- III. The Chemodynamical Origins of Metal-Poor Bulge Stars
(2022-01-01)
The characteristics of the stellar populations in the Galactic Bulge inform and constrain the Milky Way's formation and evolution. The metal-poor population is particularly important in light of cosmological simulations, ...
The impact of metallicity on nova populations
(2022-01-01)
The metallicity of a star affects its evolution in a variety of ways, changing stellar radii, luminosities, lifetimes, and remnant properties. In this work, we use the population synthesis code binary_c to study how ...
A Catalog of Potential Post–Common Envelope Binaries
(2021-10-20)
We present a catalogue containing 839 candidate post common envelope systems. Common envelope evolution is very important in stellar astrophysics, particularly in the context of very compact and short-period binaries, ...
