The chemical evolution of the Universe is governed by the chemical yields from stars, which
in turn are determined primarily by the initial stellar mass. Even stars as low as 0.9 M⊙ can …

Aims. Many topical astrophysical research areas, such as the properties of planet host stars,
the nature of the progenitors of different types of supernovae and gamma ray bursts, and the …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for three grids of metal-
rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models. Post-processing nucleosynthesis results are …

An updated grid of stellar yields for low-to intermediate-mass thermally pulsing asymptotic
giant branch (AGB) stars is presented. The models cover a range in metallicity Z= 0.02 …

By using updated stellar low-mass stars models, we systematically investigate the
nucleosynthesis processes occurring in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In this paper …

The slow neutron capture process in massive stars (weak s process) produces most of the s-
process isotopes between iron and strontium. Neutrons are provided by the 22 Ne (α, n) 25 …

Isotope ratios have opened a new window into the study of the details of stellar evolution,
supernovae and galactic chemical evolution. We present the evolution of the isotope ratios …

For millennia, mankind has been fascinated by the marvel of the starry night sky. Yet, a
proper scientific understanding of how stars form, shine, and die is a relatively recent …

Rotation was shown to have a strong impact on the structure and light element
nucleosynthesis in massive stars. In particular, models including rotation can reproduce the …

We present models for the slow neutron-capture process (s-process) in asymptotic giant
branch stars of metallicity [Fe/H]=− 2.3 and masses 0.9–6 M☉. We encountered different …
