The Woodward team studies flash events in early generation stars, which result in expulsion into the early interstellar medium of heavy elements formed in the so-called s-process. To fully understand these flashes and to estimate reliably the enrichment of the heavy elements in the early interstellar medium that they cause, the researchers must follow the star through the entire two-year duration of a flash.
