Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of <sup>26</sup>Al (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...

Comparison between Core-collapse Supernova Nucleosynthesis and Meteoric Stardust Grains: Investigating Magnesium, Aluminium, and Chromium (2022)
Journal Article
Den Hartogh, J., Petö, M. K., Lawson, T., Sieverding, A., Brinkman, H., Pignatari, M., & Lugaro, M. (2022). Comparison between Core-collapse Supernova Nucleosynthesis and Meteoric Stardust Grains: Investigating Magnesium, Aluminium, and Chromium. The Astrophysical journal, 927(2), Article 220. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac4965

Isotope variations of nucleosynthetic origin among solar system solid samples are well documented, yet the origin of these variations is still uncertain. The observed variability of 54Cr among materials formed in different regions of the protoplaneta...

Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python (2021)
Journal Article
Keegans, J. D., Stancliffe, R. J., Bilton, L. E., Cashmore, C. R., Gibson, B. K., Kristensen, M. T., …Chongchitnan, S. (2021). Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python. Physics Education, 56(3), Article 035001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6552/abdae7

We present our outreach program, the Thailand–UK Python+Astronomy Summer School (ThaiPASS), a collaborative project comprising UK and Thai institutions and assess its impact and possible application to schools in the United Kingdom. Since its incepti... Read More about Project ThaiPASS: international outreach blending astronomy and Python.

Evaluation of the N 13 (α,p) O 16 thermonuclear reaction rate and its impact on the isotopic composition of supernova grains (2020)
Journal Article
Meyer, A., De Séréville, N., Laird, A. M., Hammache, F., Longland, R., Lawson, T., …Tatischeff, V. (2020). Evaluation of the N 13 (α,p) O 16 thermonuclear reaction rate and its impact on the isotopic composition of supernova grains. Physical Review C, 102(3), Article 035803. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.102.035803

Background: It has been recently suggested that hydrogen ingestion into the helium shell of massive stars could lead to high C13 and N15 excesses when the shock of a core-collapse supernova passes through its helium shell. This prediction questions t... Read More about Evaluation of the N 13 (α,p) O 16 thermonuclear reaction rate and its impact on the isotopic composition of supernova grains.
