#AthenaNuggets: tracing the history and origin of chemical element formation, by Jelle de Plaa

Most chemical elements essential for life were created by nuclear reactions inside stars and released into space when stars explode as supernovae. Jelle de Plaa explains how Athena, and in particular X-IFU, will help us to understand the chemical enrichment of the hot gas in clusters of galaxies due to billions of supernovae over cosmic time.
