Galactic chemical evolution with the short-lived isotopes 53Mn, 60Fe, 182Hf, and 244Pu

We run a three-dimensional Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model to follow the propagation of 53Mn from supernovae of type Ia (SNIa), 60Fe from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), 182Hf from intermediate mass stars (IMSs), and 244Pu from neutron star mergers (NSMs) in the Galaxy. We compare the GCE of these short-lived radioactive isotopes (SLRs) to recent detections on the deep-sea floor. We find that although these SLRs originate from different sites, they often arrive conjointly on Earth.
