Non-standard s process in low metallicity massive rotating stars
U. Frischknecht, R. Hirschi, F. -K. Thielemann
Context. Rotation is known to affect the nucleosynthesis of light elements in massive stars, mainly by rotation-induced mixing. In particular, rotation boosts the primary nitrogen…
Solid-phase C_60 in the peculiar binary XX Oph?
A. Evans, J. Th. van Loon, C. E. Woodward +8
We present infrared spectra of the binary XX Oph obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The data show some evidence for the presence of solid C_60…
Predictions for mass-loss rates and terminal wind velocities of massive O-type stars
L. E. Muijres, Jorick S. Vink, A. de Koter +2
Mass loss forms an important aspect of the evolution of massive stars, as well as for the enrichment of the surrounding ISM. Our goal is to predict accurate mass-loss rates and ter…
Grids of stellar models with rotation - I. Models from 0.8 to 120 Msun at solar metallicity (Z = 0.014)
Sylvia Ekström, Cyril Georgy, Patrick Eggenberger +9
[abridged] 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 burs…
PG1018-047: the longest period subdwarf B binary
J. Deca, T. R. Marsh, R. H. Østensen +7
About 50% of all known hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) reside in close (short period) binaries, for which common envelope ejection is the most likely formation mechanism. However, Han…
Post-common-envelope binaries from SDSS. XIII: Mass dependencies of the orbital period distribution
M. Zorotovic, M. R. Schreiber, B. T. Gänsicke +11
Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence secondary star are ideal systems to constrain models of common-envelope (CE) evolution. U…
