Modelling the evolution and nucleosynthesis of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present the results of binary population simulations of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. We show that nitrogen and fluorine are useful tracers of the origin of CEMP stars, and conclude that the observed paucity of very nitrogen-rich stars puts

Evolution of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars – II. Dust production at varying metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present the dust ejecta of the new stellar models for the Thermally Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) phase computed with the COLIBRI code. We use a formalism of dust growth coupled with a stationary wind for both M and C-stars. In the original

White Dwarf Stars in the Big Data Era

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT White dwarf stars are the most common endpoint of stellar evolution. Therefore, these old, numerous and compact objects provide valuable information on the late stages of stellar evolution, the physics of dense plasma and the structure and evolution of our Galaxy.

THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE PHOTOMETRIC VARIABILITY AND CLASSIFICATION OF SEMIREGULAR PULSATING ASYMPTOTIC GIANTS BRANCH STARS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2012
The modern review of the stars which are located at the position of asymptotic giant branch at the HRdiagram is presented. The most interesting problems connected to these objects are noted, as well as attention is paid to classification and to the ...

The origin of the spurious iron spread in the globular cluster NGC 3201

open access: yes, 2015
NGC 3201 is a globular cluster suspected to have an intrinsic spread in the iron content. We re-analysed a sample of 21 cluster stars observed with UVES-FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope and for which Simmerer et al.

Dynamic Random Intersection Graph: Dynamic Local Convergence and Giant Structure

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Random intersection graphs containing an underlying community structure are a popular choice for modeling real‐world networks. Given the group memberships, the classical random intersection graph is obtained by connecting individuals when they share at least one group.

Sliding along the Eddington Limit—Heavy-Weight Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
Due to thermal pulses, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars experience periods of convective mixing that provide ideal conditions for slow neutron-capture nucleosynthesis.

Systematic Search for Water Fountain Candidates Using the Databases of Circumstellar Maser Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Water fountains (WFs) are thought to be objects in the morphological evolution of the circumstellar envelopes of low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, transitioning from spherically symmetric to asymmetric shapes.

Photodissociation in proto-planetary nebulae. Hydrodynamical simulations and solutions for low-velocity multi-lobes

open access: yes, 2010
We explore the effects of photodissociation at the stages of post-asymptotic giant branch stars to find a mechanism able to produce multi-polar shapes. We perform two-dimensional gasdynamical simulations to model the effects of photodissociation in proto-
