Abundance of heavy r-process elements in CEMP-rs stars: The role of the i-process

A. M. Riyas, D. Karinkuzhi, S. Van Eck +6

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are ancient stars enriched in carbon and heavy elements. Some of these stars exhibit enhanced s-process and/or r-process elements, hence are…

Kilonova ejecta opacity inferred from new large-scale HFR atomic calculations in all elements between Ca (Z = 20) and Lr (Z = 103)

Jérôme Deprince, Gururaj Wagle, Sirine Ben Nasr +7

In the context of kilonova (KN) modeling, the present work focusses on large-scale atomic data and opacity computations for all heavy elements from Ca to Lr, with a special effort…

A spectroscopic quadruple as a possible progenitor of sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia supernovae

T. Merle, A. S. Hamers, S. Van Eck +13

Binaries have received much attention as possible progenitors of Type Ia supernova (SNIa) explosions, but long-term gravitational effects in tight triple or quadruple systems could…

Atmosphere of Betelgeuse before and during the Great Dimming event revealed by tomography

K. Kravchenko, A. Jorissen, S. Van Eck +7

Despite being the best studied red supergiant star in our Galaxy, the physics behind the photometric variability and mass loss of Betelgeuse is poorly understood. Moreover, recentl…

Tomography of cool giant and supergiant star atmospheres III. Validation of the method on VLTI/AMBER observations of the Mira star S Ori

Kateryna Kravchenko, Markus Wittkowski, Alain Jorissen +5

The knowledge of the structure and dynamics of AGB-star atmospheres is crucial to better understand the mass loss. The tomographic method, that relies on the design of spectral mas…

Tomography of cool giant and supergiant star atmospheres II. Signature of convection in the atmosphere of the red supergiant star Cep

K. Kravchenko, A. Chiavassa, S. Van Eck +4

Red supergiants are cool massive stars and are the largest and the most luminous stars in the universe. They are characterized by irregular or semi-regular photometric variations,…
