SUMMARY:The Beginning and End of Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis\, Atomic Physics Seminar\, Ian Roederer\, Carnegie Observatories
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of the elements is one of the major challenges of modern astrophysics.  The oxygen in water molecules; the calcium in our bones; the uranium in our weapons---it's all stardust.  But what about the details?  The answers lie mostly with the stars.  I will share recent observations from the high-resolution spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope that teach us about how some of the heaviest elements have been produced.  I will highlight connections between atomic physics\, nuclear physics\, and astronomy that have enabled these advances.
