Impact of AGB stars on the chemical evolution of neutron-capture elements
Gabriele Cescutti, Francesca Matteucci
In this paper we discuss the impact of the s-process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars on the enrichment of heavy elements. We review the main steps made on this sub…
Oxygen, sulfur, and iron radial abundance gradients of classical Cepheids across the Galactic thin disk
R. da Silva, V. D'Orazi, M. Palla +25
Classical Cepheids (CCs) are solid distance indicators and tracers of young stellar populations. Our aim is to provide iron, oxygen, and sulfur abundances for the largest and most…
Modeling the chemical enrichment history of the Bulge Fossil Fragment Terzan 5
Donatella Romano, Francesco R. Ferraro, Livia Origlia +9
Terzan 5 is a heavily obscured stellar system located in the inner Galaxy. It has been postulated to be a stellar relic, a Bulge Fossil Fragment witnessing the complex history of t…
Time evolution of Ce as traced by APOGEE using giant stars observed with the Kepler, TESS and K2 missions
G. Casali, V. Grisoni, A. Miglio +11
Abundances of s-capture process elements in stars with exquisite asteroseismic, spectroscopic, and astrometric constraints offer a novel opportunity to study stellar evolution, nuc…
Evolution of radioactive elements in the LMC: predictions for future gamma-ray surveys
Arianna Vasini, Francesca Matteucci, Emanuele Spitoni +1
Short-lived radionuclides, such as 26Al and 60Fe, are tracers of star formation. Therefore, their abundances can unravel the recent star formation history of the host galaxy. In vi…
Europium enrichment and hierarchical formation of the Galactic halo
L. Cavallo, G. Cescutti, F. Matteucci
Context. The origin of the large star-to-star variation of the [Eu/Fe] ratios observed in the extremely metal-poor (at [Fe/H]) stars of the Galactic halo is still a matter…
