The Milky Way’s Fossil Record: Where did our Star-Stuff Come From?

The Milky Way’s Fossil Record: Where did our Star-Stuff Come From?

by Ben Cook | Nov 10, 2015 | Daily Paper Summaries

The authors use measurements of heavy element abundances to study the history of how and when the Milky Way became enriched in heavy elements. Specifically, they are concerned with elements formed through slow and fast neutron capture.

An Explosive Signature of Galaxy Collisions

An Explosive Signature of Galaxy Collisions

by Ben Cook | Aug 24, 2015 | Daily Paper Summaries

Astronomers have known for a while that GRBs are sign-posts to galaxies which are forming lots of stars. But today’s paper used radio observations of the gas to connect that star formation to a recent merger.
