High-precision abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 favor an s+r nucleosynthesis scenario over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch isotopic data.

abstract
We obtain age estimates for the progenitor(s) of the extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H = -2.9) halo star CS 31082-001, based on the recently reported first observation of a Uranium abundance in this (or any other) star. Age estimates are derived by application of the classical r-process model with updated nuclear physics inputs. The [U/Th] ratio yields an age of 13+-4 Gyr or 8+-4 Gyr, based on the use of the ETFSI-Q or the new HFBCS-1 nuclear mass models, respectively. Implications for Thorium chronometers are discussed.
