First full evolutionary computation of the He-flash induced mixing in Population II stars
S. Cassisi, H. Schlattl, M. Salaris +1
The core helium-flash in low-mass stars with extreme mass loss occurs after the tip of the RGB, when the H-rich envelope is very thin. The low efficiency of the H-shell source enab…
Resolving the 47 Tucanae Distance Problem
Susan M. Percival, Maurizio Salaris, Francois van Wyk +1
Using a sample of 43 suitable local subdwarfs with newly acquired BVI photometry, we apply our main sequence fitting method to the metal rich Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae. Fitting i…
The surface carbon and nitrogen abundances in models of ultra metal-poor stars
H. Schlattl, M. Salaris, S. Cassisi +1
We investigate whether the observed high number of carbon- and nitrogen-enhanced extremely metal-poor stars could be explained by peculiar evolutionary properties during the core H…
