Zuppella, P., Zingales, T., Yung, Y., Zilinskas, M., Wolkenberg, P., Hou Yip, G., …Tinetti, G. (2020). Enabling planetary science across light-years. Ariel Definition Study Report

Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. During its 4-year mission, Ariel will study what exoplanets are made of, ho... Read More about Enabling planetary science across light-years. Ariel Definition Study Report.

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.

Shell-model studies of the astrophysical rp -process reactions S 34 (p,γ) Cl 35 and Cl 34g,m (p,γ) Ar 35 (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 American Physical Society. Background: Dust grains condensed in the outflows of presolar classical novae should have been present in the protosolar nebula. Candidates for such presolar nova grains have been found in primitive meteorites and ca...

Origin of Large Meteoritic SiC Stardust Grains in Metal-rich AGB Stars (2020)
Journal Article
Dell'Agli, F., D'Orazi, V., Schönb chler, M., Lugaro, M., Cseh, B., Világos, B., …Nittler, L. R. (2020). Origin of Large Meteoritic SiC Stardust Grains in Metal-rich AGB Stars. The Astrophysical journal, 898(2), Article 96. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab9e74

Stardust grains that originated in ancient stars and supernovae are recovered from meteorites and carry the detailed composition of their astronomical sites of origin. We present evidence that the majority of large (μm-sized) meteoritic silicon carbi... Read More about Origin of Large Meteoritic SiC Stardust Grains in Metal-rich AGB Stars.

Chromium Nucleosynthesis and Silicon-Carbon Shell Mergers in Massive Stars (2020)
Journal Article
Côté, B., Jones, S., Herwig, F., & Pignatari, M. (2020). Chromium Nucleosynthesis and Silicon-Carbon Shell Mergers in Massive Stars. The Astrophysical journal, 892(1), Article 57. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab77ac

We analyze the production of the element Cr in galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models using the NuGrid nucleosynthesis yields set. We show that the unusually large [Cr/Fe] abundance at [Fe/H] ≈ 0 reported by previous studies using those yields and...

The Nucleosynthetic Yields of Core-collapse Supernovae: Prospects for the Next Generation of Gamma-Ray Astronomy (2020)
Journal Article
Andrews, S., Fryer, C., Even, W., Jones, S., & Pignatari, M. (2020). The Nucleosynthetic Yields of Core-collapse Supernovae: Prospects for the Next Generation of Gamma-Ray Astronomy. The Astrophysical journal, 890(1), Article 35. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab64f8

Though the neutrino-driven convection model for the core-collapse explosion mechanism has received strong support in recent years, there are still many uncertainties in the explosion parameters—such as explosion energy, remnant mass, and end-of-life...
