A new technique that uses recently released data from the Gaia satellite studies the orbits and other kinematic properties of highly r-process enhanced stars in the Milky Way. Combined with metallicity studies, these results offer a glance at the birth environment of the stars, which could be key to producing r-process elements.Read the full article
