The chemical fingerprint of the Gaia BH3 system. Evidence for early cluster enrichment from the analysis of 51 elements

Gregory Vanden Broeck, Thibault Merle, Nhat Tan Mai +5

The Gaia BH3 system hosts the most massive known stellar-origin black hole and a low-mass metal-poor companion whose chemical composition may constrain early explosive nucleosynthe…

Stellar nucleosynthesis in the era of large surveys: S-process polluted binaries in GALAH DR4

A. Escorza, S. Vitali, D. Godoy-Rivera +11

Binary interactions during the AGB phase can lead to the formation of chemically peculiar stars with overabundances of s-process elements. Only a few hundreds of these stars have b…

The intermediate neutron capture process. VI. Proton ingestion and i-process in rotating magnetic asymptotic giant branch stars

A. Choplin, L. Siess, S. Goriely +2

The intermediate neutron-capture process (i-process) can occur during proton ingestion events (PIEs), which may take place in the early evolutionary phases of asymptotic giant bran…

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…

Statistical framework for nuclear parameter uncertainties in nucleosynthesis modeling of r- and i-process

S. Martinet, G. Goriely, A. Choplin +1

Propagating nuclear uncertainties to nucleosynthesis simulations is key to understand the impact of theoretical uncertainties on the predictions, especially for processes far from…

Technetium-rich M Stars: Prime diagnostics of recent third dredge-up events on the Asymptotic Giant Branch

Shreeya Shetye, Sophie Van Eck, Alain Jorissen +6

Context. Technetium (Tc)-rich M-type stars have been known for over 45 years. However, the origin of Tc in these stars, particularly its detection without the concomitant detection…

Synthesis of actinides and short-lived radionuclides during i-process nucleosynthesis in AGB stars

Arthur Choplin, Stephane Goriely, Lionel Siess +1

A complex interplay between mixing and nucleosynthesis is at work in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In addition to the slow neutron capture process (s-process), the intermedi…

Production of Lithium and Heavy Elements in AGB Stars Experiencing PIEs

A. Choplin, L. Siess, S. Goriely +1

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars can experience proton ingestion events (PIEs), leading to a rich nucleosynthesis. During a PIE, the intermediate neutron capture process (i-proc…

Proton ingestion in asymptotic giant branch stars as a possible explanation for J-type stars and AB2 grains

A. Choplin, L. Siess, S. Goriely

J-type stars are a subclass of carbon stars that are generally Li-rich, not enriched in s-elements, and have low C/C ratios. They were suggested to be the manufacture…

The intermediate neutron capture process. V. The i-process in AGB stars with overshoot

A. Choplin, L. Siess, S. Goriely +1

The intermediate neutron capture process (i-process) can develop during proton ingestion events (PIE), potentially during the early stages of low-mass low-metallicity asymptotic gi…

Systematic study of the low-lying electric dipole strength in Sn isotopes and its astrophysical implications

M. Markova, A. C. Larsen, P. von Neumann-Cosel +8

The -ray strength functions (GSF) and nuclear level densities (NLD) below the neutron threshold have been extracted for Sn from particle- coincidence…

The intermediate neutron capture process: IV. Impact of nuclear model and parameter uncertainties

S. Martinet, A. Choplin, S. Goriely +1

We investigate both the systematic and statistical uncertainties associated with theoretical nuclear reaction rates of relevance during the i-process and explore their impact on th…
