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…
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…
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…
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…
