An evidence-based assumption that helps to reduce the discrepancy between the observed and predicted Be abundances in novae

Pavel A. Denissenkov, Chris Ruiz, Sriteja Upadhyayula +1

Recent spectroscopic measurements of the equivalent widths of the resonant Be II doublet and Ca II K lines and their ratios in expanding nova ejecta indicate surprisingly high abun…

Metal-Poor Stars Observed with the Southern African Large Telescope

Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Joseph Zepeda, Timothy C. Beers +5

We present the first release of a large-scale study of relatively bright (V < 13.5) metal-poor stars observed with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), based on high-resolu…

The impact of (n,) reaction rate uncertainties of unstable isotopes on the i-process nucleosynthesis of the elements from Ba to W

Pavel A. Denissenkov, Falk Herwig, Georgios Perdikakis +1

The abundances of n-capture elements in the CEMP-r/s stars agree with predictions of intermediate n-density nucleosynthesis, at -$10^{15} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}…

Detection of Pb II in the Ultraviolet Spectra of Three Metal-Poor Stars

Ian U. Roederer, James E. Lawler, Erika M. Holmbeck +8

We report the first detection of the Pb II line at 2203.534 Angstroms in three metal-poor stars, using ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on…

On The Development of Multidimensional Progenitor Models For Core-collapse Supernovae

C. E. Fields, S. M. Couch

Multidimensional hydrodynamic simulations of shell convection in massive stars suggest the development of aspherical perturbations that may be amplified during iron core-collapse.…

Heavy Elements Nucleosynthesis On Accreting White Dwarfs: building seeds for the p-process

Umberto Battino, Marco Pignatari, Claudia Travaglio +5

The origin of the proton-rich trans-iron isotopes in the solar system is still uncertain. Single-degenerate thermonuclear supernovae (SNIa) with n-capture nucleosynthesis seeds ass…
