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.

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...
