Light elements in the Universe

S Randich, L Magrini - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Due to their production sites, as well as to how they are processed and destroyed in stars,
the light elements are excellent tools to investigate a number of crucial issues in modern …

Presolar grain isotopic ratios as constraints to nuclear and stellar parameters of asymptotic giant branch star nucleosynthesis

S Palmerini, M Busso, D Vescovi, E Naselli… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
