The Primordial Abundance of $^6$Li and $^9$be [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Light element ($^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^9$Be) depletion isochrones for halo stars have been calculated with standard stellar evolution models. These models include the latest available opacities and are computed through the sub-giant branch. If $^6$Li is not

Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds. II. Spectroscopic and Environmental Analysis of Thorne–Żytkow Object and Super-AGB Star Candidates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super ...

Infrared Spectroscopy of Symbiotic Stars. IV. V2116 Ophiuchi/GX 1+4, The Neutron Star Symbiotic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We have computed, based on 17 infrared radial velocities, the first set of orbital elements for the M giant in the symbiotic binary V2116 Ophiuchi. The giant's companion is a neutron star, the bright X-ray source GX 1+4. We find an orbital period of 1161

Neutron stars are giant hypernuclei? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1985
Neutron stars are studied in the framework of Lagrangian field theory of interacting nucleons, hyperons, and mesons, which is solved in the mean field approximation. The theory is constrained to account for the four bulk properties of nuclear matter; the saturation binding and density, compressibility, and charge symmetry energy.

Planets, Planetary Nebulae, and Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs)

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
I review some aspects related to the influence of planets on the evolution of stars before and beyond the main sequence. Some processes include the tidal destruction of a planet on to a very young main sequence star, on to a low-mass main sequence star ...

Planetary Engulfment Prognosis within the ρ CrB System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Exoplanets have been detected around stars at various stages of their lives, ranging from young stars emerging from formation to the latter stages of evolution, including white dwarfs and neutron stars.

On the serendipitous discovery of a Li-rich giant in the globular cluster NGC 362 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We have serendipitously identified the first lithium-rich giant star located close to the red giant branch bump in a globular cluster. Through intermediate-resolution FLAMES spectra we derived a lithium abundance of A(Li)=2.55 (assuming local ...

AMBER/VLTI observations of 5 giant stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
While the search for exoplanets around main sequence stars more massive than the Sun have found relatively few such objects, surveys performed around giant stars have led to the discovery of more than 30 new exoplanets.

UV-bright Star-forming Clumps and Their Host Galaxies in UVCANDELS at 0.5 ≤ z ≤ 1

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Giant star-forming clumps are a prominent feature of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and contain important clues on galaxy formation and evolution. However, the basic demographics of clumps and their host galaxies remain uncertain.
