Impact of Sub-2.5 MeV 12C+12CResonances on the Production of Elements from C to Pd in Core-Collapse Supernovae
L. Roberti, S. Palmerini, A. Falla +10
We explore the impact of a more efficient 12C+12C reaction on the structure and nucleosynthesis of massive stars. We calculate non-rotating stellar models with initial masses of 15…
An updated picture of pre-solar history from short-lived radioactive isotopes and inferences on the birth of the Sun
Benjámin Soós, Thomas C. L. Trueman, Andrés Yagüe López +2
We examine the origin of the short-lived radionuclides (SLRs, defined as having half-lives between 0.1 and 100 Ma) present in the early Solar System (ESS) by investigating how pred…
Stellar Interpretation of Meteoritic Data and PLotting for Everyone (SIMPLE): Isotope Mixing Lines for Six Sets of Core-Collapse Supernova Models
Marco Pignatari, Mattias Ek, Georgy V. Makhatadze +15
Bulk meteorites and their inclusions exhibit, for many chemical elements, isotopic variability produced by nucleosynthetic events in stars and supernovae before the formation of th…
Strontium-84 Enrichments in Presolar Grains Provide First Evidence of p-process Nucleosynthesis in Core-collapse Supernovae
Ishita Pal, Manavi Jadhav, Danielle Z. Shulaker +9
This study reports detection of rare p-process isotopes within presolar grains. Presolar grains are relic dust grains from dying stars. These microscopic dust particles are found i…
Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars
Umberto Battino, Lorenzo Roberti, Thomas V. Lawson +2
Over the last three years, the rates of all the main nuclear reactions involving the destruction and production of Al in stars (Al(n, p)Mg, Al(n, )$^…
Unveiling the nature of HE 0107-5240
E. Caffau, M. Steffen, P. Molaro +27
The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemic…
Production of radioactive Na in core-collapse supernovae: the Ne-E(L) component in presolar grains and its possible consequences on supernova observations
M. Pignatari, S. Amari, P. Hoppe +8
Presolar graphite grains carry the isotopic signatures of their parent stars. A significant fraction of presolar graphites shows isotopic abundance anomalies relative to solar for…
Impact of the latest 22Ne+α reaction rates on nucleosynthesis in massive stars and galactic chemical evolution
Emma Kotar, Shuya Ota, Allyson Dewey +3
In massive stars (initial mass of > 9 solar masses), the weak s (slow neutron capture) process produces elements between Fe and Zr, enriching the Galaxy with these elements through…
The SPAr burning: proton captures powering carbon-oxygen shell mergers in massive stars
L. Roberti, M. Pignatari
Carbon-oxygen (C-O) shell mergers in massive stars play a crucial role in both nucleosynthesis and the final stages of stellar evolution. These convective-reactive events significa…
The role of rotation on the yields of the two γ-ray emitters 26Al and 60Fe ejected by massive stars
Agnese Falla, Lorenzo Roberti, Marco Limongi +1
We show that the observed 60Fe/26Al flux ratio provided by the SPectrometer on INTEGRAL satellite (0.24 +- 0.04) can be reproduced only if rotation is taken into account in the com…
The chemical yields of stars in the range 9-15 Msun
Marco Limongi, Lorenzo Roberti, Agnese Falla +2
In Limongi et al. (2024) we presented and discussed the main evolutionary properties and final fate of stars in the mass range 7-15 Msun. The evolutions of those models were comput…
The Occurrence and Impact of Carbon-Oxygen Shell Mergers in Massive Stars
L. Roberti, M. Pignatari, H. E. Brinkman +6
In their final stages before undergoing a core-collapse supernova, massive stars may experience mergers between internal shells where carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are consumed as fuel…
The impact of asteroseismically calibrated internal mixing on nucleosynthetic wind yields of massive stars
Hannah E. Brinkman, Lorenzo Roberti, Alex Kemp +3
Asteroseismology gives us the opportunity to look inside stars and determine their internal properties. Based on these observations, estimations can be made for the amount of the c…
The -process nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae II. Effect of the explosive recipe
Lorenzo Roberti, Marco Pignatari, Chris L. Fryer +1
The -process in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) can produce a number of neutron-deficient stable isotopes heavier than iron (p-nuclei). However, current model predictions do to…
Presupernova evolution and explosive nucleosynthesis of rotating massive stars II: the Super Solar models at [Fe/H]=0.3
