Metal Mixing in the r-process Enhanced Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II

Metal Mixing in the r-process Enhanced Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II

The ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II was enriched by a single rare and prolific r -process event. The r -process content of Reticulum II thus provides a unique opportunity to study metal mixing in a relic first galaxy. Using multi-object high-resolution spectroscopy with VLT/GIRAFFE and Magellan...
