Type Ia supernovae and the ^{12}C+^{12}C reaction rate
E. Bravo, L. Piersanti, I. Domínguez +3
The experimental determination of the cross-section of the ^{12}C+^{12}C reaction has never been made at astrophysically relevant energies (E<2 MeV). The profusion of resonances th…
He-accreting WDs as SNe Ia Progenitors
Luciano Piersanti, Amedeo Tornambe', Lev Yungelson +1
We investigate the thermal response of CO WDs accreting He-rich matter directly from their companions in binary systems. Our results suggest that the He-channel cannot provide prog…
Evolution, nucleosynthesis and yields of low mass AGB stars at different metallicities (II): the FRUITY database
Sergio Cristallo, Luciano Piersanti, Oscar Straniero +6
By using updated stellar low mass stars models, we can systematically investigate the nucleosynthesis processes occurring in AGB stars, when these objects experience recurrent ther…
Nucleosynthesis origin of PG 1159 stars, Sakurai's object and of rare subclasses of presolar grains
R. Gallino, O. Straniero, E. Zinner +4
We discuss theoretical AGB predictions for hydrogen-deficient PG 1159 stars and Sakurai's object, which show peculiar enhancements in He, C and O, and how these enhancements may be…
