Oxygen isotopic ratio in open cluster RGB stars: A new method for accurate mass and age estimations
O. Straniero, C. Abia, I. Domínguez +1
Determining precise and homogeneous absolute ages of open clusters (OCs) remains a challenge in stellar astrophysics, mainly due to parameter degeneracies in photometric methods an…
Tracing the s-Process: Spectroscopic Insights into Chemical Abundances in O- and C-rich Evolved Stars
Sophie Van Eck, Carlos Abia, Inma Dominguez
Oxygen and carbon-rich AGB stars - and objects directly polluted by them - are excellent laboratories to investigate the nucleosynthesis and mixing processes occurring during the l…
s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass AGB stars by the C(,n)O neutron source
Inma Domínguez, Carlos Abia, Maurizio Busso +2
In this review we outline our knowledge on slow neutron captures, concentrating on its main part occurring during the final stages of stellar evolution for low or intermediate-mass…
Production of s-process elements in AGB stars as revealed by Gaia GSP-spec abundances
G. Contursi, P. de Laverny, A. Recio-Blanco +2
The recent parameterisation by the GSP-spec module of Gaia/RVS spectra has produced an homogeneous catalogue of about 174,000 AGB stars. Among the 13 chemical elements presented in…
The carbon star mystery: forty years later
Oscar Straniero, Carlos Abia, Inmaculata Dominguez
In 1981 Icko Iben Jr published a paper entitled 'The carbon star mystery: why do the low mass ones become such, and where have all the high mass ones gone?', where he discussed the…
Sub-stellar engulfment by a main sequence star: where is the lithium?
Rubén M. Cabezón, Carlos Abia, Inma Domínguez +1
In this work, we study whether the engulfment of a brown dwarf (BD) by a solar-like main-sequence (MS) star can significantly alter the structure of the star and the Li content on…
