Funded Activity Summary
Understanding the birth of new elements by observing dying stars. Almost everything around us is made up of elements that were created inside stars. This project aims to understand the origin of the elements by studying newly created material ejected by Sun-like stars during one of the final stages of their lives. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the field of stellar evolution by using state-of-the-art telescopes to measure the elements and isotopes produced by these stars and comparing them with theoretical model predictions. Expected outcomes include a better understanding of element creation, the chemical enrichment of galaxies, and the first mass estimates for intermediate-mass stars. This should provide significant benefits by addressing a key outstanding question in astronomy.Funded Activity Details
