Mass‐Loss, Composition and Observational Signatures of Stellar Winds From X‐Ray Bursts
ABSTRACT X‐Ray bursts (XRBs) are powerful thermonuclear events on the surface of accreting neutron stars (NSs), which can synthesize intermediate‐mass elements. Although the high surface gravity prevents an explosive ejection, a small fraction of the envelope may be ejected by radiation‐driven winds.

Big bang nucleosynthesis with a varying fine structure constant and non-standard expansion rate
We calculate primordial abundances of light elements produced during big bang nucleosynthesis when the fine structure constant and/or the cosmic expansion rate take non-standard values.

Leptonic Photons and Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Should $U(1)$ long-range forces be associated to electron, muon and/or tau quantum number then their ''fine structure constants" are seen to be bound by nucleosynthesis data to be less than about $1.7 \times 10^{-11}$.

Key Points A method is described to obtain high precision Sn isotope ratios using the double spike technique in geological reference materials containing 0.03 to 7 μg g−1 of Sn. δ122/118Sn values are reported for sixteen geological RMs. Improved precision was achieved compared with previous studies by using low concentration Sn analyte.

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars: a window on AGB nucleosynthesis and binary evolution. II. Statistical analysis of a sample of 67 CEMP-$s$ stars [PDF]
Many observed CEMP stars are found in binary systems and show enhanced abundances of $s$-elements. The origin of the chemical abundances of these CEMP-$s$ stars is believed to be accretion in the past of enriched material from a primary star in the AGB ...

Key Points Isotopic reference materials are rarely cross‐examined. An optimised regression model and MC‐ICP‐MS offer a cost‐effective way to assess the reliability of values assigned to multi‐isotope reference materials. A significant lack of consistency has been observed in the long‐standing isotopic reference materials for nickel and zinc. Calibrated

Abstract An attractive flower from the island of Madagascar has in part saved the lives of thousands of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Random mutations and alterations to the genome led to the evolution of genes encoding enzymes, which would provide the periwinkle flower an arsenal of secondary metabolites to survive within the ...

Supernova neutrinos and nucleosynthesis
Observations of metal-poor stars indicate that at least two different nucleosynthesis sites contribute to the production of r-process elements.

Primordial nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Primordial nucleosynthesis, or big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), is one of the three evidences for the big bang model, together with the expansion of the universe and the cosmic microwave background. There is a good global agreement over a range of nine orders of magnitude between abundances of4He, D,3He and7Li deduced from observations, and calculated ...
