The r-Process and Chronometers
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 [4].

LETTER Age of the eucrite "Caldera" from convergence of long-lived and short-lived chronometers
-The long-lived 1475m-143Nd chronometer has been used in conjunction with the short-lived 146Sm-142Nd and 53Mn-53Cr chronometers to constrain the time of formation for the eucrite Caldera. The combination of these three chronometers has produced results that are consistent with one another and converge on a precise, high resolution age of 4537 +__ 12 Ma (within 95% confidence limits). So far th...
متن کاملTuning the Clock : Uranium and Thorium
We obtain age estimates for the progenitor(s) of the extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H = −2.9) halo star CS 31082-001, based on the recently reported first observation of a Uranium abundance in this (or any other) star. Age estimates are derived by application of the classical r-process model with updated nuclear physics inputs. The [U/Th] ratio yields an age of 13±4 Gyr or 8±4 Gyr, based on the use ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Metal-rich Meteoritic Parent Bodies
Introduction: There is now increasing evidence that the timescale between the formation of CAIs and of chondrules is < 1-2 Ma, and that the achondritic parent planets may have formed and differentiated within 2-4 Ma of the origin of the Solar System [1,2]. Long-lived chronometers (such as 187 Re
