We report the first APOGEE metallicities and α-element abundances measured for 3600 red giant stars spanning a large radial range of both the Large (LMC) and Small Magellanic …
Stellar evolution theory is most uncertain for massive stars. For reliable predictions of the evolution of massive stars and their final fate, solid constraints on the physical parameters …
Context. Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries are surrounded by massive disks of gas and dust that are similar to the protoplanetary disks that are known to surround young …
We present a new census of Galactic and extragalactic symbiotic stars (SySts). This compilation contains 323 known and 87 candidate SySts. Of the confirmed SySts, 257 are …

Binary post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are thought to be the products of a strong but poorly understood interaction during the AGB phase. The aim of this contribution …
Massive stellar-mass black holes are not expected in a Galactic metallicity environment, owing to strong stellar winds and pair-instability supernovae. In this context, the recent …
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 …
Lead (Pb) is predominantly produced by the slow neutron-capture process (s process) in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In contrast to significantly enhanced Pb abundances …
Post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are exquisite probes of AGB nucleosynthesis. However, the previous lack of accurate distances jeopardized comparison with theoretical …
