An environmental analysis of the Type Ib SN 2019yvr and the possible presence of an inflated binary companion

Ning-Chen Sun, Justyn R. Maund, Paul A. Crowther +5

SN 2019yvr is the second Type Ib supernova (SN) with a possible direct detection of its progenitor (system); however, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the pre-explosion so…

New Post-AGB star models as tools to understand AGB evolution and nucleosynthesis

Devika Kamath, Flavia Dell'Agli, Paolo Ventura +3

We study a sample of post-AGB stars in the Galaxy, with known surface chemical composition and s-process enrichment. The recent determination of the luminosities of these sources,…

Luminosities and masses of single Galactic Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (Post-AGB) stars with distances from EDR3: The revelation of an -process diversity

Devika Kamath, Hans Van Winckel, Paolo Ventura +4

Post-AGB stars are exquisite probes of AGB nucleosynthesis. However, the previous lack of accurate distances jeopardised comparison with theoretical AGB models. The Early Da…

Dynamics in a stellar convective layer and at its boundary: Comparison of five 3D hydrodynamics codes

R. Andrassy, J. Higl, H. Mao +18

Our ability to predict the structure and evolution of stars is in part limited by complex, 3D hydrodynamic processes such as convective boundary mixing. Hydrodynamic simulations he…

Common envelopes in massive stars: Towards the role of radiation pressure and recombination energy in ejecting red supergiant envelopes

Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Miguel González-Bolívar +3

We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations of a common-envelope event involving a 12 solar mass red supergiant donor. Massive stars are expected to be qualitatively different from lo…

The impact of metallicity on nova populations

Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +2

The metallicity of a star affects its evolution in a variety of ways, changing stellar radii, luminosities, lifetimes, and remnant properties. In this work, we use the population s…

First models of s process in AGB stars of solar metallicity for the stellar evolutionary code ATON with a novel stable explicit numerical solver

A. Yagüe López, D. A. García-Hernández, P. Ventura +4

Aims. We describe the first s-process post-processing models for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of masses 3, 4 and 5 M at solar metallicity (Z=0.018) computed using the input…

The stellar beta-decay rate of 134Cs and its impact on the Barium nucleosynthesis in the s process

Kuo-Ang Li, Chong Qi, Maria Lugaro +5

We have calculated the stellar -decay rate of the important s-process branching point Cs based on the state of the art shell model calculations. At typical -process…

Aluminium-26 from massive binary stars II. Rotating single stars up to core-collapse and their impact on the early Solar System

Hannah E. Brinkman, J. W. den Hartogh, C. L. Doherty +2

Radioactive nuclei were present in the early Solar System, as inferred from analysis of meteorites. Many are produced in massive stars, either during their lives or their final exp…

Observational signatures of the surviving donor star in the double detonation model of Type Ia supernovae

Zheng-Wei Liu, Friedrich K. Roepke, Yaotian Zeng +1

The sub-Chandrasekhar mass double-detonation (DDet) scenario is a contemporary model for SNe Ia. The donor star in the DDet scenario is expected to survive the explosion and to be…

Chemical evidence for planetary ingestion in a quarter of Sun-like stars

Lorenzo Spina, Parth Sharma, Jorge Meléndez +5

Stellar members of binary systems are formed from the same material, therefore they should be chemically identical. However, recent high-precision studies have unveiled chemical di…
