Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Metallicity-dependent Yields (2023)
Journal Article
Keegans, J. D., Pignatari, M., Stancliffe, R. J., Travaglio, C., Jones, S., Gibson, B. K., …Few, G. (2023). Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Metallicity-dependent Yields. Astrophysical Journal Supplement, 268(1), Article 8. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/ace102

Type Ia supernova explosions (SN Ia) are fundamental sources of elements for the chemical evolution of galaxies. They efficiently produce intermediate-mass (with Z between 11 and 20) and iron group elements - for example, about 70% of the solar iron...

The chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood for planet-hosting stars (2023)
Journal Article
Pignatari, M., Trueman, T. C., Womack, K. A., Gibson, B. K., Côte, B., Turrini, D., …Lugaro, M. (2023). The chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood for planet-hosting stars. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 524(4), 6295-6330. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2167

Theoretical physical-chemical models for the formation of planetary systems depend on data quality for the Sun's composition, that of stars in the solar neighbourhood, and of the estimated 'pristine' compositions for stellar systems. The effective sc... Read More about The chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood for planet-hosting stars.

Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of ²⁶Al (2023)
Journal Article
Laird, A. M., Lugaro, M., Kankainen, A., Adsley, P., Bardayan, D. W., Brinkman, H. E., …Mengoni, A. (2023). Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of 26Al. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 50(3), Article 033002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ac9cf8

The radioisotope 26Al is a key observable for nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy and the environment of the early Solar System. To properly interpret the large variety of astronomical and meteoritic data, it is crucial to understand both the nuclear react...

Impact of newly measured 26Al(n, p)26Mg and 26Al(n, α)23Na reaction rates on the nucleosynthesis of 26Al in stars (2023)
Journal Article
Battino, U., Lederer-Woods, C., Pignatari, M., Soós, B., Lugaro, M., Vescovi, D., Cristallo, S., Woods, P. J., & Karakas, A. (2023). Impact of newly measured 26Al(n, p)26Mg and 26Al(n, α)23Na reaction rates on the nucleosynthesis of 26Al in stars. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 520(2), 2436-2444. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad106

The cosmic production of the short-lived radioactive nuclide 26Al is crucial for our understanding of the evolution of stars and galaxies. However, simulations of the stellar sites producing 26Al are still weakened by significant nuclear uncertaintie...
