The Milky Way is an environment rich with satellite galaxies, stellar streams and accreted systems. By studying the detailed chemical abundance patterns of individual stars in these systems, we can reconstruct the signatures of the various nucleosynthetic processes that shaped them. The satellite dwarf galaxies, in particular, provide unique laboratories for probing exotic nucleosynthetic events. These small systems are relatively pristine, making them ideal environments to study the first generations of stars, responsible for the earliest production of elements heavier than lithium. Their inefficient star formation leads to slow chemical enrichment, rendering them especially sensitive to delayed nucleosynthetic processes such as Type Ia supernovae, AGB stars, and neutron star mergers. Acquiring high-quality data for these comparatively distant systems has long been challenging, but next year will see the launch of 4DWARFS – The 4MOST survey of dwarf galaxies and their stellar streams. This large spectroscopic survey is expected to yield exciting discoveries that will deepen our understanding of the diverse nucleosynthetic pathways shaping the chemical evolution of galaxies.
