Impact of AGB Stars on the Chemical Evolution of Neutron-Capture Elements

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
In this review, we discuss the impact of s-process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars on the enrichment of heavy elements. We review the main steps made on this subject in the last 40 years and discuss the importance of modelling the ...

The puzzle of the CNO isotope ratios in asymptotic giant branch carbon stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Context. The abundance ratios of the main isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are modified by the CNO-cycle in the stellar interiors. When the different dredge-up events mix the burning material with the envelope, valuable information on the ...

Ecological Implications of Germination Temperature on Native and Invasive Rumex Spp.

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Rumex alpinus L. (R. alpinus) is a non‐native invasive plant in Czech mountain regions, altering ecosystem structure and function in protected areas. Rumex obtusifolius L. (R. obtusifolius) is a native species and a problematic weed in Czech meadows, while Rumex longifolius DC. (R.

Envelope loss of RGB/AGB stars and the formation of hot subdwarfs

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Low mass stars may lose their envelopes in the first giant branch (RGB) or the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) via envelope ejection (i.e. superwind). The envelope loss of AGB stars leads to the formation of carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs), while the

Population Synthesis Models for Normal Galaxies with Dusty Disks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2003
To investigate the SEDs of galaxies considering the dust extinction processes in the galactic disks, we present the population synthesis models for normal galaxies with dusty disks. We use PEGASE (Fioc & Rocca-Volmerange 1997) to model them with standard

Insights into AGB Nucleosynthesis Thanks to Spectroscopic Abundance Measurements in Intrinsic and Extrinsic Stars

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
The foundations of stellar nucleosynthesis have been established more than 70 years ago. Since then, much progress has been made, both on the theoretical side, with stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis models of increasing complexity, using more and ...

When do stars in 47 Tucanae lose their mass? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
By examining the diffusion of young white dwarfs through the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, we estimate the time when the progenitor star lost the bulk of its mass to become a white dwarf.

HEAVY ELEMENTS IN GLOBULAR CLUSTERS: THE ROLE OF ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent observations of heavy elements in globular clusters reveal intriguing deviations from the standard paradigm of the early galactic nucleosynthesis.

Blueprint for a Universal Theory of Learning to Read: The Combinatorial Model

open access: yesReading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 2, April/May/June 2025.
The Reading Tree. Abstract In this essay, I outline some of the essential ingredients of a universal theory of reading acquisition, one that seeks to highlight commonalities while embracing the global diversity of languages, writing systems, and cultures.

Mira Variables Based on Emission Lines in LAMOST DR9

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a sample of 335 Mira variables, extracted from DR9 of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) survey. These variables are characterized by the Balmer emissions (H δ , H γ , H β , and H α ) and the metal emissions
