Magnetic Mixing in Red Giant and Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The available information on isotopic abundances in the atmospheres of low-mass Red Giant Branch (RGB) and Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars requires that episodes of extensive mixing occur below the convective envelope, reaching down to layers close ...

Model Dust Envelopes for Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. Carbon Stars. II. Carbon Stars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1995
We have modeled the dust envelopes around carbon stars with close attention to the evolution of the structure of the dust shells. We use various dust density distributions to take account the effect of the superwind due to the helium shell flash by ...

Dual‐Functional and Low‐Toxicity ZnO Nanoparticles From Pomegranate Peel: Impact of Synthesis Parameters on Photocatalytic and Supercapacitive Performance

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using pomegranate peel extract at ambient temperature represents a significant advancement in the development of sustainable dual‐functional materials. These NPs demonstrated high photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of organic pollutants and exhibited significant supercapacitive energy storage ...

Individual variability shapes interaction rewiring and fosters ecosystem restoration by reintroduced giant tortoises in the Seychelles

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Giant tortoises are critical for restoring lost ecological interactions on islands. Following their extinction in Seychelles centuries ago, key ecosystem processes like seed dispersal, browsing, and nutrient cycling were disrupted.

The Isaac Newton Telescope Monitoring project: Stellar population in the IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019
We have conducted an optical monitoring survey of IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group, using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) with the wide-field camera (WFC), to identify the Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs).

Trojan Horse Investigation for AGB Stellar Nucleosynthesis

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the most important astrophysical sites influencing the nucleosynthesis and the chemical abundances in the Universe. From a pure nuclear point of view, several processes take part during this peculiar stage of

First Principles Rovibronic Absorption Spectra of HF Molecule

open access: yesJournal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 6, March 5, 2026.
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is astrophysically important, as it has been detected in sunspots, Venus, red giants, and the interstellar medium, serving as a probe of exoplanet atmospheres. This article presents an ab initio investigation of HF rovibronic spectroscopy, combining high‐level electronic‐structure data with nuclear‐motion solutions and refinement

Evidence of Third Dredge-up in Post-AGB Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To better understand the mixing and mass loss experienced by low-mass stars as they ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), I have gathered from the literature the abundances of CNO and s -process elements in post-AGB stars in Galactic globular ...
