Virtual RAS meeting: Progress in Astrophysics with Type-Ia Supernovae
Nov 13, 2020 12:00 AM — online,Type Ia Supernovae (hereafter SNIa) play a crucial role in (Astro)physics since they can be used as standardised candles to measure large distances in the Universe. Their key contribution to distance measurement and cosmology was recognised with a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011, and more recently in 2019 they were fundamental in re-opening the debate around the expansion of the Universe. In addition, SNIa are fundamental contributors to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, being responsible for about 2/3 of the total iron-peak elements content, about 1/3 of the so-called “alpha elements” (in particular Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Ti), and possibly to a significant portion of heavy trans-iron proton-rich isotopes called p-nuclei. Despite the importance of SNIa, we still do not know what stellar evolution path represents their dominant progenitor channel, being a matter of debate between different kinds of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs in binary systems (single-degenerate scenario) or white dwarfs merger events (double-degenerate scenario). Moreover, as light-curves, spectra and nucleosynthesis products are deeply impacted by the nature of the stellar system originating the explosion, large uncertainties are thus introduced when it comes to use SNIa in many Astrophysics fields, in particular cosmology and chemical evolution of the Galaxy. Several observables can be used to shed light on SNIa progenitors. Specific chemical abundances in the Solar System, like manganese, are only produced efficiently enough in near Chandrasekhar-mass (~1.39 solar masses) exploding white dwarfs (naturally forming in the single-degenerate scenario). Additionally, the detection of ultraviolet radiation (efficiently emitted by hot accreting white dwarfs in binary systems), chemical analysis of meteorites and gamma-ray spectroscopy provide a rich variety of astronomy to boost our understanding of SNIa progenitors. Investigation tools range from numerical models, astronomical observations, and laboratory experiments to derive material compositions and nuclear reaction rates. The aim of this Specialist Discussion meeting is to bring together researchers from all these different fields to promote interaction, networking and discuss strategies to progress our knowledge of these crucial astrophysical events.
NAM 2019 session: Bridging the Disciplines of Galactic and Extragalactic Archaeology
from Jun 30, 2019 11:00 PM to Jul 01, 2019 11:00 PM — Lancaster,Elemental abundances in stars and ISM provide stringent constraints on galaxy formation and evolution. This has mostly been used to study our Galaxy through "Galactic Archaeology''. Estimating elemental abundances within external galaxies is more challenging, but current and future observations (e.g. JWST) enable "Extra-galactic Archaeology''. In this interdisciplinary session, we bring together all experts necessary for this quest, linking nuclear physics, stellar evolution, supernova physics, nucleosynthesis, Galactic chemical evolution, observations of early- and late-type galaxies, and cosmological simulations.

NAM 2017 session: Galactic Chemical Evolution, Stars, and the Creation of Elements in the Big-Data Era
Jul 03, 2017 11:00 PM — Hull,The life and death cycle of the stars is key to our understanding of the creation of the elements and the ongoing chemical evolution of our Galaxy. In this new era of big data and large scale spectroscopic surveys (Gaia, APOGEE, Gaia-ESO, WEAVE), we are now obtaining the large galactic chemical datasets needed to truly characterise the stellar populations within the Milky Way and also within other galaxies using key facilities such as ALMA. The three fields we seek to bridge are: 1) the properties of nuclei, nuclear reaction rates and nucleosynthesis pathways; 2) stellar structure, evolution and element nucleosynthesis; and 3) observation and modelling of the chemodynamical evolution of galaxies. Advancing the underlying physics of these fields and improving the key measurements that are passed between them provides the framework upon which the analyses of large chemical datasets are based. It is essential that these fields are kept at the forefront and kept in close communication to maximise the exploitation of these impressive observational datasets. This interdisciplinary session is proposed by the BRIDGCE UK network (BRIdging the Disciplines of Galactic Chemical Evolution, www.bridgce.ac.uk) which transfers knowledge and develops synergies between the UK researchers investigating the origin of the elements and the evolution of the stars and galaxies. The latest advancements in these fields will be presented and considered in the context of the big data observational programmes of stellar population chemical distributions both within the Milky Way and within galaxies at high redshift.

The BRIDGCE network (BRIdging the Disciplines of Galactic Chemical Evolution) aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and develop synergies between the UK researchers involved in the study of the origin of the elements. This is an open session to all researchers that are working in these disciplines or want to know more about this field of research. Contributions from early career researchers are particularly encouraged.
