Galactic globular clusters: Ideal laboratories to test stellar nucleosynthesis?
, 2008 Galactic globular cluster (GC) stars exhibit abundance patterns which are not shared by their field counterparts, namely the well-documented C-N, O-Na and Mg-Al anticorrelations.

Physical Conditions for Synthesis of Sc, Ti, and V in Neutrino-driven Supernovae
The Astrophysical JournalWe present the results of simulations of nucleosynthesis in a core-collapse supernova including the neutrino process. Using the Si layer of a 13 M _⊙ zero-metal progenitor as the initial composition, we calculate the nucleosynthesis by adopting the ...

Stellar Nucleosynthesis Nuclear Data Mining
, 2012 Stellar nucleosynthesis is an important nuclear physics phenomenon that is responsible for presently observed chemical elements and isotope abundances. It is also one of the corner stone hypotheses that provides basis for our understanding of Nature. Its theoretical predictions are often verified through the astrophysical observation and comparison of ...

Deep Mixing of 3He: Reconciling Big Bang and Stellar Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
, 2006 Low-mass stars, {approx} 1-2 solar masses, near the Main Sequence are efficient at producing {sup 3}He, which they mix into the convective envelope on the giant branch and should distribute into the Galaxy by way of envelope loss.

Detection of Metal Enrichment by SN 2011jm in NGC 4809
The Astrophysical Journal LettersCosmic metals are believed to originate from stellar and supernovae (SNe) nucleosynthesis, dispersed into the interstellar medium (ISM) through stellar winds and supernova explosions.
