Stellar Interpretation of Meteoritic Data and PLotting for Everyone (SIMPLE): Isotope Mixing Lines for Six Sets of Core-Collapse Supernova Models

Marco Pignatari, Mattias Ek, Georgy V. Makhatadze +15

Bulk meteorites and their inclusions exhibit, for many chemical elements, isotopic variability produced by nucleosynthetic events in stars and supernovae before the formation of th…

Silicon Isotopic Composition of Mainstream Presolar SiC Grains Revisited: The Impact of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties

Hung Kwan Fok, Marco Pignatari, Benoît Côté +1

Presolar grains are stardust particles that condensed in the ejecta or in the outflows of dying stars and can today be extracted from meteorites. They recorded the nucleosynthetic…

Origin of large meteoritic SiC stardust grains in metal-rich AGB stars

Maria Lugaro, Borbála Cseh, Blanka Világos +16

Stardust grains that originated in ancient stars and supernovae are recovered from meteorites and carry the detailed composition of their astronomical sites of origin. We present e…

Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains of Types Y and Z: Their Molybdenum Isotopic Compositions and Stellar Origins

Nan Liu, Thomas Stephan, Sergio Cristallo +8

We report Mo isotopic compositions of 37 presolar SiC grains of types Y (19) and Z (18), rare types commonly argued to have formed in lower-than-solar metallicity asymptotic giant…

Fe in core-collapse supernovae and prospects for X-ray and -ray detection in supernova remnants

Samuel Jones, Heiko Moeller, Chris L. Fryer +6

We investigate Fe in massive stars and core-collapse supernovae focussing on uncertainties that influence its production in 15, 20 and 25 stars at solar metallicit…

New constraints on the major neutron source in low-mass AGB stars

Nan Liu, Roberto Gallino, Sergio Cristallo +4

We compare updated Torino postprocessing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) nucleosynthesis model calculations with isotopic compositions of mainstream SiC dust grains from low-mass AGB…
