Yes please! It's less than 300M light-years away! It's crazy that we haven't done this from the ground recently. One of the issues is that it's in the Southern sky.
According to Prof. David Kipping, ~"The guys who are into these weird things have somehow never heard about this star, it just got lost in the shuffle."
Also, Kipping mentioned that some of the research was Czech-based, and not in English, which may have also been a factor.
My very uneducated guess is that two planet-like objects smashed, and there is some cloud around the star which gave those weird spectrographs?
However, this makes my dumb theory sound unlikely: https://youtu.be/maMDGZOD3mI?t=435
TL:DW; Shortlived elements like Einsteinium should not be there. We really need to take a closer look.
Another guess: it got close to a neutron star merger, and was showered with high atomic number debris. Heavy elements can be produced in mergers of such stars.
However, assuming that it's not misidentification, would it be fair to say that new physics would have to be discovered to explain things like Americium and Einsteinium?
This star appears to be so exciting. Whatever the answer is, it is going to push the boundaries of knowledge.
Of course that’s just as sus if not more.
Aim JWST at that thing.
