The slow neutron-capture process (s process) contributes to the production of roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. The main component of the s process takes place in the late phases (AGB phase) of low-mass stars and is the topic of most re... Read More about Slow Neutron-Capture Process in Evolved Stars.

In this chapter, after a brief introduction and overview of stellar evolution, we discuss the evolution and nucleosynthesis of very massive stars (VMS: M>100 solar masses) in the context of recent stellar evolution model calculations. This chapter co... Read More about Evolution and Nucleosynthesis of Very Massive Stars.

Recently, measurements of abundances in extremely metal poor (EMP) stars have brought new constraints on stellar evolution models. In an attempt to explain the origin of the abundances observed, we computed pre--supernova evolution models, explosion... Read More about Stellar evolution of massive stars at very low metallicities.
