Astronomers Couldn't Explain This Ancient Star's Chemistry. A Lab Experiment Just Did.
Reported by Universe Today
Zyx: Up next, researchers have solved a cosmic puzzle. As reported by Universe Today, a group led by Caley M. Harris at Michigan State University has found an answer to why strontium levels in certain ancient stars are skewed.
Zyx: By using a lab experiment at the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade facility at Argonne National Laboratory to measure the neutron capture rate of Krypton-88, they found that Krypton-88 absorbs neutrons efficiently, which explains why strontium is more common in observed stars than predicted.
