Reaction rate uncertainties and 26Al in AGB silicon carbide stardust

M. A. van Raai, M. Lugaro, A. I. Karakas +1

Stardust is a class of presolar grains each of which presents an ideally uncontaminated stellar sample. Mainstream silicon carbide (SiC) stardust formed in the extended envelopes o…

Accretion funnels onto weakly magnetized young stars

N. Bessolaz, C. Zanni, J. Ferreira +2

Aims : We re-examine the conditions required to steadily deviate an accretion flow from a circumstellar disc into a magnetospheric funnel flow onto a slow rotating young forming st…

The impact of the 18F(a,p)21Ne reaction on asymptotic giant branch nucleosynthesis

Amanda Karakas, Hye Young Lee, Maria Lugaro +2

We present detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with and without the 18F(a,p)21Ne reaction included in the nuclear network, where the ra…

A peculiar object in M51: fuzzy star cluster or a background galaxy?

R. A. Scheepmaker, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, S. S. Larsen +1

Aims: We study a peculiar object with a projected position close to the nucleus of M51. It is unusually large for a star cluster in M51 and we therefore investigate the three most…

The circumstellar medium around a rapidly rotating, chemically homogeneously evolving, possible gamma-ray burst progenitor

Allard Jan van Marle, Norbert Langer, Sung-Chul Yoon +1

Rapidly rotating, chemically homogeneously evolving massive stars are considered to be progenitors of long gamma-ray bursts. We present numerical simulations of the evolution of th…

First superburst from a classical low-mass X-ray binary transient

L. Keek, J. J. M. in 't Zand, E. Kuulkers +3

We report the analysis of the first superburst from a transiently accreting neutron star system with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The superburst oc…
