The Impact of Initial Composition on Massive Star Evolution and Nucleosynthesis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the sensitivity of presupernova evolution and supernova nucleosynthesis yields of massive stars to variations of the initial composition. We use the solar abundances from Lodders, and compute two different sets of initial stellar compositions ...

Mass‐Loss, Composition and Observational Signatures of Stellar Winds From X‐Ray Bursts

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
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.

The evolution of the Milky Way from its earliest phases: Constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We computed the evolution of the abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca, K, Ti, Sc, Ni, Mn, Co, Fe and Zn in the Milky Way. We made use of the most widely adopted nucleosynthesis calculations and compared the model results with observational data with the aim of ...

An Analytical Method for Quantification of Sn Isotope Variations in Geological Materials Using MC‐ICP‐MS

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 863-885, December 2024.
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.

Detection of Inconsistencies in Isotope Ratios Certified in the Isotopic Primary Standards for Copper, Zinc and Nickel

open access: yesGeostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 795-805, December 2024.
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

The evolution and history of Vinca alkaloids: From the Big Bang to the treatment of pediatric acute leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.
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 ...
