The NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set (2022)
Journal Article
Battino, U., Pignatari, M., Tattersall, A., Denissenkov, P., & Herwig, F. (2022). The NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set. Universe, 8(3), Article 170. https://doi.org/10.3390/universe8030170Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars play a key role in the chemical evolution of galaxies. These stars are the fundamental stellar site for the production of light elements such as C, N and F, and half of the elements heavier than Fe via the slow neu...

The Astrophysical journal, 898(2), Article 96. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab9e74Stardust 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.
