Solar fusion III: New data and theory for hydrogen-burning stars
B. Acharya, M. Aliotta, A. B. Balantekin +47
In stars that lie on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, like our sun, hydrogen is fused to helium in a number of nuclear reaction chains and series, such as the p…
Deep Mixing in Evolved Stars: I. The Effect of Reaction Rate Revisions from C to Al
S. Palmerini, M. La Cognata, S. Cristallo +1
We present computations of nucleosynthesis in low-mass red-giant-branch and asymptotic-giant-branch stars of Population I experiencing extended mixing. We adopt the updated version…
On the Need for Deep Mixing in AGB Stars of Low Mass
M. Busso, S. Palmerini, E. Maiorca +5
The photospheres of low-mass red giants show CNO isotopic abundances that are not satisfactorily accounted for by canonical stellar models. The same is true for the measurements of…
Solving the large discrepancy between inclusive and exclusive measurements of the reaction cross section at astrophysical energies
M. La Cognata
A solution of the large discrepancy existing between inclusive and exclusive measurements of the reaction cross section at $E_{cm} <3…
New High-Precision Measurement of the Reaction Rate of the 18O(p,alpha)15N Reaction via THM
M. La Cognata, C. Spitaleri, A. M. Mukhamedzhanov +21
The 18O(p,alpha)15N reaction rate has been extracted by means of the Trojan-Horse method. For the first time the contribution of the 20-keV peak has been directly evaluated, giving…
