s-Processing in AGB Stars Revisited. I. Does the Main Component Constrain the Neutron Source in the 13C-Pocket?

O. Trippella, M. Busso, E. Maiorca +2

Slow neutron captures at A 85 are mainly guaranteed by the reaction 13C(,n)16O in AGB stars, requiring proton injections from the envelope. These were so far assumed to…

Galactic Chemical Evolution and solar s-process abundances: dependence on the 13C-pocket structure

S. Bisterzo, C. Travaglio, R. Gallino +2

We study the s-process abundances (A > 90) at the epoch of the solar-system formation. AGB yields are computed with an updated neutron capture network and updated initial solar abu…
