Deep Mixing in Evolved Stars: I. The Effect of Reaction Rate Revisions from C to Al
S. Palmerini, M. La Cognata, S. Cristallo +1
We present computations of nucleosynthesis in low-mass red-giant-branch and asymptotic-giant-branch stars of Population I experiencing extended mixing. We adopt the updated version…
News from Low Mass Star Nucleosynthesis and Mixing
M. Busso, E. Maiorca, L. Magrini +3
Light and intermediate nuclei as well as s-process elements have been detected in presolar grains and in evolved red giants. The abundances of some of these nuclei cannot be accoun…
NGC 1866: a milestone for understanding the chemical evolution of stellar populations in the LMC
A. Mucciarelli, S. Cristallo, E. Brocato +9
We present new FLAMES@VLT spectroscopic observations of 30 stars in the field of the LMC stellar cluster NGC 1866. NGC 1866 is one of the few young and massive globular cluster tha…
On the Need for Deep Mixing in AGB Stars of Low Mass
M. Busso, S. Palmerini, E. Maiorca +5
The photospheres of low-mass red giants show CNO isotopic abundances that are not satisfactorily accounted for by canonical stellar models. The same is true for the measurements of…
Low metallicity AGB models: H profile in the 13C-pocket and the effect on the s-process
S. Bisterzo, S. Cristallo
The 13C(a, n)16O reaction is the major neutron source in low mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, where the main and the strong s process components are synthesised. After a t…
The Role of Primary 16O as a Neutron Poison in AGB stars and Fluorine primary production at Halo Metallicities
R. Gallino, S. Bisterzo, S. Cristallo +1
The discovery of a historical bug in the s-post-process AGB code obtained so far by the Torino group forced us to reconsider the role of primary 16O in the 13C-pocket, produced by…
