He-Accreting WDs: accretion regimes and final outcomes
L. Piersanti, A. Tornambé, L. R. Yungelson
The behaviour of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs) subject to direct helium accretion is extensively studied. We aim to analyze the thermal response of the accreting WD to mass depo…
Effects of nuclear cross sections on F nucleosynthesis at low metallicities
S. Cristallo, A. Di Leva, G. Imbriani +4
The origin of fluorine is a longstanding problem in nuclear astrophysics. It is widely recognized that Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the most important contributors…
The FRUITY database on AGB stars: past, present and future
S. Cristallo, L. Piersanti, O. Straniero
We present and show the features of the FRUITY database, an interactive web-based interface devoted to the nucleosynthesis in AGB stars. We describe the current available set of AG…
Heavy elements in Globular Clusters: the role of AGB stars
Oscar Straniero, Sergio Cristallo, Luciano Piersanti
Recent observations of heavy elements in Globular Clusters reveal intriguing deviations from the standard paradigm of the early galactic nucleosynthesis. If the r-process contamina…
