Towards a comprehensive study of the 14N(p,g)15O astrophysical key reaction: Description of the experimental technique including novel target preparation
A. Compagnucci, A. Formicola, M. Campostrini +46
While the 14N(p,g)15O reaction plays a key role in the hydrogen-burning processes in various stellar conditions, its reaction rate is not known with sufficient precision. Therefore…
Characterization of the LUNA neutron detector array for the measurement of the 13C(a,n)16O reaction
L. Csedreki, G. F. Ciani, J. Balibrea-Correa +46
We introduce the LUNA neutron detector array developed for the investigation of the 13C(a,n)16O reaction towards its astrophysical s-process Gamow peak in the low-background enviro…
First direct limit on the 334 keV resonance strength in the Ne(α,γ)Mg reaction
D. Piatti, E. Masha, M. Aliotta +44
In stars, the fusion of Ne and He may produce either Mg, with the emission of a neutron, or Mg and a ray. At high temperature, the () channel domi…
Ne and Na ejecta from intermediate-mass stars: The impact of the new LUNA rate for Ne(p,)Na
A. Slemer, P. Marigo, D. Piatti +36
We investigate the impact of the new LUNA rate for the nuclear reaction NeNa on the chemical ejecta of intermediate-mass stars, with particular focus on the ther…
Is there a metallicity ceiling to form carbon stars? - A novel technique reveals a scarcity of C stars in the inner M31 disk
M. L. Boyer, L. Girardi, P. Marigo +10
We use medium-band near-infrared (NIR) Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 photometry with model NIR spectra of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars to develop a new tool for efficiently di…
Catching the fish - Constraining stellar parameters for TX Psc using spectro-interferometric observations
D. Klotz, C. Paladini, J. Hron +4
Stellar parameter determination is a challenging task when dealing with galactic giant stars. The combination of different investigation techniques has proven to be a promising app…
