The dwarf galaxy is still intact today. So nothing crazy could have happened. Probably some heavy elements come out of supernovae here and there. But somehow my theory colleagues tell me that the normal supernova just doesn't have enough oomph to really get an R process going, right? And so you need these orbiting supernova.
