Nucleosynthesis of Pop III and Fe-enriched Pop II Pair-Instability Supernovae
Wenyu Xin, Ken'ichi Nomoto, Chun-Ming Yip +4
Recently discovered very metal-poor (VMP) star LAMOST J1010+2358 shows a peculiar abundance pattern that is remarkably well fit by a Pop III pair-instability supernova (PISN) of $\…
Probing Red Giant Interiors with G-Dominated Mixed Modes I: The Cases of KIC 9145955, KIC 9970396, KIC 9882316 and KIC 11968334
Xinyi Zhang, Tanda Li, Jianxing Chen +4
We perform a detailed asteroseismic analysis of four red giants observed by Kepler: KIC 9145955, KIC 9970396, KIC 9882316, and KIC 11968334. Our study is based on individual oscill…
Constraints on the CO and O+O Reaction Rates from Binary Black Holes Detected via Gravitational Wave Signals
Wenyu Xin, Xiaokun Hou, Xianfei Zhang +2
Gravitational-wave observations of binary black hole (BH) mergers provide a novel avenue for testing massive-star evolution and the resulting BH mass spectrum. Recent population an…
The impact of new (, n) reaction rates on the weak s-process in metal-poor massive stars
Wenyu Xin, Chun-Ming Yip, Ken'ichi Nomoto +2
Massive stars are significant sites for the weak s-process (ws-process). Ne and O are, respectively, the main neutron source and poison for the ws-process. In the met…
Using Lithium and Beryllium to Study Structure and Evolution of Rotating Stars: Spite Plateau of Halo Stars
Wuming Yang, Shuya Dou, Xiangcun Meng +2
The observed lithum (Li) abundance of Galactic halo stars mainly fall within the range of 2.0--2.4 dex. This nearly constant value, known as the Spite plateau, is approximately a f…
Unraveling Year-Long Radial Velocity Variations in Red Clump Region -- I: Comprehensive analysis of a K0 Giant star, 2 Draconis
Udomlerd Srisuchinwong, Jianzhao Zhou, Huan-Yu Teng +18
Slow-rotating evolved stars frequently exhibit radial velocity (RV) variations on annual timescales, complicated by instrumental systematics and aliasing in the one-year regime. He…
