متن کاملBrown Dwarfs as Galactic Chronometers
Brown dwarfs are natural clocks, cooling and dimming over time due to insufficient core fusion. They are also numerous and present in nearly all Galactic environments, making them potentially useful chronometers for a variety of Galactic studies. For this potential to be realized, however, precise and accurate ages for individual sources are required, a prospect made difficult by the complex at...
متن کاملThe r-Process and Chronometers
We have been examining the abundance distributions in metal-poor Galactic halo stars trying to identify, and understand, the signatures of the slowand rapid-neutron capture processes (i.e., the sand the r-process). Detailed studies have been made of the stars CS 22892–052 [1, 2] and HD 115444 [3]. In our latest work we have added to this list the metal-poor ([Fe/H] = –2.0) halo star BD +17◦3248...
