Rubidium, zirconium, and lithium production in intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch stars

open access: yes, 2012
Context. A recent survey of a large sample of Galactic intermediate-mass (>3 M ⊙) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars shows that they exhibit large overabundances of rubidium (Rb) up to 100-1000 times solar. In contrast, zirconium (Zr) is not enriched

Nucleosynthesis in helium-enriched asymptotic giant branch models: Implications for heavy element enrichment in ω centauri [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the effect of helium enrichment on the evolution and nucleosynthesis of low-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of 1.7 Mand 2.36 Mwith a metallicity of Z = 0.0006 ([Fe/H] ≈-1.4).

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

Nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars: Shedding light on the cosmic origin of heavy elements [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
Low-mass, low-metallicity stars while evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase undergo significant nucleosynthesis producing the majority of slow (s-) and intermedite (i-) neutron capture elements.

Tracing the Evolution of SMBHs and Stellar Objects in Galaxy Mergers: A Multi-mass Direct N-body Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
By using direct N -body numerical simulations, we model the dynamical coevolution of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the surrounding stars in merging galaxies. In order to investigate how different stellar components evolve during the merger, we

Goos–Hänchen effect singularities in transdimensional plasmonic films

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 14, Issue 25, Page 4513-4530, December 2025.
Abstract We identify and classify topologically protected singularities for the reflection coefficient of transdimensional plasmonic systems. Originating from nonlocal electromagnetic response due to vertical electron confinement in the system, such singularities lead to lateral (angular) Goos–Hänchen shifts on the millimeter (milliradian) scale in the

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

Imputation of Fisheries Reference Points for Endangered Data‐Poor Fishes, With Application to Rhino Rays

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 848-865, September 2025.
ABSTRACT For data‐limited fish species, sustainable management frequently relies on biological metrics that are derived from life‐history trait data, as opposed to high‐resolution time series of catch and abundance. These biological metrics are used to assess a species' recovery potential at low population densities, as well as their extinction risk ...

Stellar evolution as seen by mixed modes

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The detection of mixed modes in subgiants and red giants allows us to monitor stellar evolution from the main sequence to the asymptotic giant branch and draw seismic evolutionary tracks.

An Innovative Tool for Measuring Sunlight Propagation Through Different Snowpacks

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Sunlight penetration in the snowpack plays a fundamental role in many environmental processes, ranging from local energy balance to snow microbiology and can potentially contribute to climate change. In addition, many photochemical reactions typically occur in the snowpack driven by solar radiation.
