The s process in massive stars, a benchmark for neutron capture reaction rates
Marco Pignatari, Roberto Gallino, Rene Reifarth
A clear definition of the contribution from the slow neutron-capture process (s process) to the solar abundances between Fe and the Sr-Zr region is a crucial challenge for nuclear…
Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains of Types Y and Z: Their Strontium and Barium Isotopic Compositions and Stellar Origins
Nan Liu, Thomas Stephan, Sergio Cristallo +5
We report the Sr and Ba isotopic compositions of 18 presolar SiC grains of types Y (11) and Z (7), rare types commonly argued to have formed in lower-than-solar metallicity asympto…
Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains of Types Y and Z: Their Molybdenum Isotopic Compositions and Stellar Origins
Nan Liu, Thomas Stephan, Sergio Cristallo +8
We report Mo isotopic compositions of 37 presolar SiC grains of types Y (19) and Z (18), rare types commonly argued to have formed in lower-than-solar metallicity asymptotic giant…
New constraints on the major neutron source in low-mass AGB stars
Nan Liu, Roberto Gallino, Sergio Cristallo +4
We compare updated Torino postprocessing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) nucleosynthesis model calculations with isotopic compositions of mainstream SiC dust grains from low-mass AGB…
Galactic Chemical Evolution: the Impact of the 13C-pocket Structure on the s-process Distribution
S. Bisterzo, C. Travaglio, M. Wiescher +2
The solar s-process abundances have been analyzed in the framework of a Galactic Chemical Evolution (GCE) model. The aim of this work is to implement the study by Bisterzo et al. (…
The Branchings of the Main s-process: Their Sensitivity to alpha-induced Reactions on 13C and 22Ne and to the Uncertainties of the Nuclear Network
Sara Bisterzo, Roberto Gallino, Franz Kaeppeler +6
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the main component of the slow neutron capture process (the s-process), which accounts for the solar abundances of half of the nuclei wit…
