The Solar Photospheric Nitrogen Abundance: Determination with 3D and 1D Model Atmospheres
E. Maiorca, E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio +5
We present a new determination of the solar nitrogen abundance making use of 3D hydrodynamical modelling of the solar photosphere, which is more physically motivated than tradition…
Galactic C and S Stars as Guidelines for Magellanic Cloud AGB Stars
R. Guandalini, M. Busso
The study of the evolutionary properties of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars still presents unresolved topics. Progress in the theoretical understanding of their evolution is hampered…
The Science Case for PILOT I: Summary and Overview
J. S. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley, J. Bailey +40
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5 m optical/infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. Conditions at D…
Nucleosynthesis of light element isotopes in evolved stars experiencing extended mixing
S. Palmerini, M. Busso, E. Maiorca +1
We present computations of nucleosynthesis in red giants and asymptotic giant branch stars of Population I experiencing extended mixing. The assumed physical cause for mass transpo…
Enhanced production of barium in low-mass stars: evidence from open clusters
Valentina D'Orazi, Laura Magrini, Sofia Randich +3
We report the discovery of a trend of increasing barium abundance with decreasing age for a large sample of Galactic open clusters. The observed pattern of [Ba/Fe] vs. age can be r…
