Theoretical Estimates of Stellar e-Captures. I. The half-life of 7Be in Evolved Stars
Stefano Simonucci, Simone Taioli, Maurizio Busso +1
The Li enrichment in the Universe still presents various puzzles to astrophysics. One open issue is that of obtaining estimates for the rate of e-captures on 7Be, for T and rho con…
Carbon and oxygen isotopic ratios in Arcturus and Aldebaran: Constraining the parameters for non convective mixing on the RGB
C. Abia, S. Palmerini, M. Busso +1
We re-analysed the carbon and oxygen isotopic ratios in the atmospheres of the two bright K giants Arcturus and Aldebaran. Previous determinations of their 16O/18O ratios showed a…
Lithium destruction and production observed in red giant stars
Stefan Uttenthaler, Thomas Lebzelter, Maurizio Busso +3
According to standard stellar evolution, lithium is destroyed throughout most of the evolution of low- to intermediate-mass stars. However, a number of evolved stars on the red gia…
