Globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star variations in specific elements (eg, He, C, N, O,
Na, Al) that bear the hallmark of high-temperature H-burning. These abundance variations …

The essential ingredients of nuclear astrophysics are the thermonuclear reactions which
shape the life and death of stars and which are responsible for the synthesis of the chemical …

The C 12/C 13 ratio is a significant indicator of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes during
hydrogen burning in stars. Its value mainly depends on the relative rates of the C 12 (p, γ) N …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud …

We investigate aluminum abundance variations in the stellar populations of globular clusters
using both literature measurements of sodium and aluminum and APOGEE measurements …

Low-and intermediate-mass stars with supersolar metallicities comprise a known portion of
the universe. Yet yields for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with metallicities greater …

Benefiting from the Gaia second and early third releases of photometric and astrometric
data, we examine the population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars that appear in the …

For millennia, mankind has been fascinated by the marvel of the starry night sky. Yet, a
proper scientific understanding of how stars form, shine, and die is a relatively recent …

The experimental study of nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest is greatly facilitated by
a low-background, high-luminosity setup. The Laboratory for Underground Nuclear …

We present spatially resolved measurements of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in NGC
1399, the largest elliptical galaxy in the Fornax Cluster. Using data from the Multi Unit …
