Globular cluster contributions to Galactic halo assembly
Sarah L. Martell
TL;DR
This paper investigates the presence of second-generation globular cluster stars in the Galactic halo to understand their role in galaxy formation and the balance between in situ formation and accretion.
Contribution
It introduces a search for halo red giants with globular cluster-like light-element abundances to explore their contribution to Galactic halo assembly.
Findings
Identification of halo stars with globular cluster-like abundances
Implications for globular cluster formation models
Insights into galaxy assembly processes
Abstract
I discuss a search for red giant stars in the Galactic halo with light-element abundances similar to second-generation globular cluster stars, and discuss the implications of such a population for globular cluster formation models and the balance between in situ star formation and accretion for the assembly of the Galactic halo.
