R-process enrichment in the solar system, the Milky Way, and
local dwarf galaxies
I'll discuss r-process enrichment in the three different astrophysical sites: our solar
system, the Milky Way, and nearby dwarf galaxies. Combining the observed features
obtained by different methods and their interpretations from the three sites, we can
supplement each other, crosscheck the individual results, and finally get a conclusive
view on r-process.
My main conclusions are (i) from nearby dwarf galaxies, we know that a neutron star
merger is the major origin of r-nuclides but it seems that a neutron star merger is not
the only site, in particular in the early Universe, (ii) the history of r-process enrichment
in the solar system traced by the short-lived radioactive nuclei 244Pu, which is
assessed by meteorites and deep sea measurements, gives a view on r-process
consistent with the ones from stellar abundances in Local Group including the Milky
Way.
