The building blocks of the universe
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2021 I review the state of knowledge of the composition of the universe for a non-specialist audience. The universe is built up of four components. These are radiation, baryonic (ordinary) matter, dark matter and dark energy.

Solar data uncertainty impacts on MCMC methods for r-process nucleosynthesis
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 In recent work, we developed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure to predict the ground state masses capable of forming the observed Solar r-process rare-earth abundance peak.

Post-AGB Stars as Tracers of AGB Nucleosynthesis: An Update
Universe, 2022 The chemical evolution of galaxies is governed by the chemical yields from stars, and here we focus on the important contributions from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. AGB nucleosynthesis is, however, still riddled with complexities.

Experiments probing clustering effects in explosive nucleosynthesis
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 Nuclear clustering affects the nucleosynthesis occurring in a number of astrophysical environments. Highly-clusterized nuclear states typically occur near particle thresholds and therefore can produce dramatic impacts on the nuclear reaction rates.

Impact of AGB Stars on the Chemical Evolution of Neutron-Capture Elements
Universe, 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 NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set
Universe, 2022 Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars play a key role in the chemical evolution of galaxies. These stars are the fundamental stellar site for the production of light elements such as C, N and F, and half of the elements heavier than Fe via the slow neutron

Núcleos exóticos e síntese dos elementos químicos
Química Nova, 2012 We have around ninety chemical elements available in nature, which were produced mainly by nuclear reactions inside stars. The fusion reactions are the main synthesis process which generates the light and intermediate masses elements.
