To better understand the processes that have formed the Milky Way and enriched the galactic gas, we can study galactic chemical evolution (GCE). When we study GCE we combine our understanding of galaxy formation with stellar evolution to trace the ch... Read More about Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Milky Way.

Chemical evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way (2022)
Journal Article
Womack, K., Vincenzo, F., Gibson, B., Côté, B., Pignatari, M., Brinkman, H. E., Ventura, P., & Karakas, A. (2023). Chemical evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 518(1), 1543-1556. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3180

Fluorine has many different potential sites and channels of production, making narrowing down a dominant site of fluorine production particularly challenging. In this work, we investigate which sources are the dominant contributors to the galactic fl... Read More about Chemical evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way.
