Astrophysics with presolar stardust

DD Clayton, LR Nittler - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Meteorites and interplanetary dust particles contain presolar stardust grains: solid
samples of stars that can be studied in the laboratory. The stellar origin of the grains is …

Presolar stardust in meteorites: recent advances and scientific frontiers

LR Nittler - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003 - Elsevier
Grains of stardust that formed in stellar outflows prior to the formation of the solar system
survive intact as trace constituents of primitive meteorites. The presolar origin of the grains is …

Stellar yields from metal-rich asymptotic giant branch models

AI Karakas, M Lugaro - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for three grids of metal-
rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models. Post-processing nucleosynthesis results are …

Cool bottom processes on the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch and the isotopic composition of circumstellar dust grains

KM Nollett, M Busso, GJ Wasserburg - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the effects of cool bottom processing (CBP) on the isotopic ratios 18 O/16 O, 17
O/16 O, 14 N/15 N, 26 Al/27 Al, C/O, and N/O in the convective envelope during the …

Short-lived nuclei in the early Solar System: Possible AGB sources

GJ Wasserburg, M Busso, R Gallino, KM Nollett - Nuclear Physics A, 2006 - Elsevier
The abundances of short-lived radionuclides in the early Solar System (ESS) are reviewed,
as well as the methodology used in determining them. These results are compared with the …

Heavy-element yields and abundances of asymptotic giant branch models with a Small Magellanic Cloud metallicity

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 …

[BOOK][B] Stellar explosions: hydrodynamics and nucleosynthesis

J Jose - 2016 - books.google.com
Written by a specialist in stellar astrophysics, this book presents a rigorous but accessible
treatment of the physics of stellar explosions from a multidisciplinary perspective at the …

Presolar grains from meteorites: Remnants from the early times of the solar system

K Lodders, S Amari - Geochemistry, 2005 - Elsevier
This review provides an introduction to presolar grains–preserved stardust from the
interstellar molecular cloud from which our solar system formed–found in primitive …

Can extra mixing in RGB and AGB stars be attributed to magnetic mechanisms?

M Busso, GJ Wasserburg, KM Nollett… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
It is known that there must be some weak form of transport (called cool bottom processing, or
CBP) acting in low-mass red giant branch (RGB) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars …

Production of aluminium and the heavy magnesium isotopes in asymptotic giant branch stars

AI Karakas, JC Lattanzio - Publications of the Astronomical Society of …, 2003 - cambridge.org
We investigate the production of aluminium and magnesium in asymptotic giant branch
models covering a wide range in mass and composition. We evolve models from the pre …
