The Impact of Black Hole Formation on Population-averaged Supernova Yields (2021)
Journal Article
Griffith, E. J., Sukhbold, T., Weinberg, D. H., Johnson, J. A., Johnson, J. W., & Vincenzo, F. (2021). The Impact of Black Hole Formation on Population-averaged Supernova Yields. The Astrophysical journal, 921, Article 73. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac1bac

The landscape of black hole (BH) formation—in which massive stars explode as core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) and which implode into BHs—profoundly affects the initial-mass-function (IMF)-averaged nucleosynthetic yields of a stellar population. Buildi... Read More about The Impact of Black Hole Formation on Population-averaged Supernova Yields.

The distribution of [α/Fe] in the Milky Way disc (2021)
Journal Article
Vincenzo, F., H. Weinberg, D., Miglio, A., R. Lane, R., & Roman-Lopes, A. (2021). The distribution of [α/Fe] in the Milky Way disc. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(4), 5903–5920. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2899

Using a sample of red giant stars from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) Data Release 16, we infer the conditional distribution $p([\alpha/\text{Fe}]\,|\,[\text{Fe/H}])$ in the Milky Way disk for the $\alpha$-element...

Nucleosynthesis signatures of neutrino-driven winds from proto-neutron stars: a perspective from chemical evolution models (2021)
Journal Article
Vincenzo, F., A. Thompson, T., H. Weinberg, D., J. Griffith, E., W. Johnson, J., & A. Johnson, J. (2021). Nucleosynthesis signatures of neutrino-driven winds from proto-neutron stars: a perspective from chemical evolution models. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(3), 3499-3507. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2828

We test the hypothesis that the observed first-peak (Sr, Y, Zr) and second-peak (Ba) s-process elemental abundances in low-metallicity Milky Way stars, and the abundances of the elements Mo and Ru, can be explained by a pervasive r-process contributi...

Stellar migration and chemical enrichment in the milky way disc: a hybrid model (2021)
Journal Article
Johnson, J. W., Weinberg, D. H., Vincenzo, F., Bird, J. C., Loebman, S. R., Brooks, A. M., …Griffith, E. J. (2021). Stellar migration and chemical enrichment in the milky way disc: a hybrid model. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(3), 4484-4511. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2718

We develop a hybrid model of galactic chemical evolution that combines a multiring computation of chemical enrichment with a prescription for stellar migration and the vertical distribution of stellar populations informed by a cosmological hydrodynam...

Chronologically dating the early assembly of the Milky Way (2021)
Journal Article
Montalbán, J., Mackereth, J. T., Miglio, A., Vincenzo, F., Chiappini, C., Buldgen, G., …Chaplin, W. J. (2021). Chronologically dating the early assembly of the Milky Way. Nature Astronomy, 5(7), 640-647. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-021-01347-7

The standard cosmological model predicts that galaxies are built through hierarchical assembly on cosmological timescales1,2. The Milky Way, like other disk galaxies, underwent violent mergers and accretion of small satellite galaxies in its early hi...
