The chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood for planet-hosting stars
Marco Pignatari, Thomas C. L. Trueman, Kate A. Womack +13
Theoretical physical-chemical models for the formation of planetary systems depend on data quality for the Sun's composition, that of stars in the solar neighbourhood, and of the e…
Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Metallicity-Dependent Yields
James D Keegans, Marco Pignatari, Richard J Stancliffe +7
Type Ia supernova explosions (SNIa) are fundamental sources of elements for the chemical evolution of galaxies. They efficiently produce intermediate-mass (with Z between 11 and 20…
The -process nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae. I. A novel analysis of -process yields in massive stars
L. Roberti, M. Pignatari, A. Psaltis +4
The -process nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae is generally accepted as a feasible process for the synthesis of neutron-deficient isotopes beyond iron. However, crucia…
Aluminium-26 from massive binary stars III. Binary stars up to core-collapse and their impact on the early Solar System
Hannah E. Brinkman, C. L. Doherty, M. Pignatari +2
Many of the short-lived radioactive nuclei that were present in the early Solar System can be produced in massive stars. In the first paper in this series (Brinkman et al. 2019), w…
New 26P(p,γ)27S thermonuclear reaction rate and its astrophysical implication in rp-process
S. Q. Hou, J. B. Liu, T. C. L. Trueman +4
Accurate nuclear reaction rates for 26P(p,γ)27S are pivotal for a comprehensive understanding of rp-process nucleosynthesis path in the region of proton-rich sulfur and phosphorus…
Unveiling the chemical fingerprint of phosphorus-rich stars I. In the infrared region of APOGEE-2
Maren Brauner, Thomas Masseron, D. A. García-Hernández +4
The origin of phosphorus, one of the essential elements for life on Earth, is currently unknown. Prevalent models of Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) underestimate the amount of P…
Representation of s-process abundances for comparison to data from bulk meteorites
Maria Lugaro, Mattias Ek, Mária Pető +4
Analysis of bulk meteorite compositions has revealed small isotopic variations due to the presence of material (e.g., stardust) that preserved the signature of nuclear reactions oc…
