SUMMARY:The Beginning and End of Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis\, Atomi
 c Physics Seminar\, Ian Roederer\, Carnegie Observatories
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of the elements is one of the maj
 or challenges of modern astrophysics.  The oxygen in water molecules\;
  the calcium in our bones\; the uranium in our weapons---it's all star
 dust.  But what about the details?  The answers lie mostly with the st
 ars.  I will share recent observations from the high-resolution spectr
 ograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope that teach us about how som
 e of the heaviest elements have been produced.  I will highlight conne
 ctions between atomic physics\, nuclear physics\, and astronomy that h
 ave enabled these advances.
