Updated low-mass AGB models and s-process nucleosynthesis with metallicities Z= 0.01, Z = 0.02, and Z = 0.03. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(1), 1082 -1098. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2158

The production of the neutron-capture isotopes beyond iron that we observe today in the Solar system is the result of the combined contribution of the r-process, the s-process, and possibly the i-process. Low-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) (1.5 &... Read More about NuGrid stellar data set – III.

Relative Importance of Convective Uncertainties (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Kaiser, E. A., Hirschi, R., Arnett, W. D., Cristini, A., Georgy, C., & Scott, L. J. A. (2019). Relative Importance of Convective Uncertainties. . https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-13876-9_71

Convection plays a key role in the evolution of stars due to energy transport and mixing of composition. Despite its importance, this process is still not well understood. One longstanding conundrum in all 1D stellar evolution codes is the treatment... Read More about Relative Importance of Convective Uncertainties.

The synthesis of a chiral bis-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligand is described and its coordination chemistry with Cu(NO3)2 and [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 is explored in the crystalline phase as well as in solution. Chiral [2 × 2] tetranuc... Read More about Unexpected linkage isomerism in chiral tetranuclear bis-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) grids.

An ab initio study of the valence tautomerism of type B mesoionic rings (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). An ab initio study of the valence tautomerism of type B mesoionic rings. Tetrahedron Letters, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetlet.2019.06.035

The MP2 calculated Gibbs free energies of a series of type B mesoionic rings and their acyclic valence tautomers suggest that in the gas phase the relative stability of the mesoionic ring increases with single bond strength (S-S > RN-NR > O-O). Inclu... Read More about An ab initio study of the valence tautomerism of type B mesoionic rings.

Uncertainties in νp-process nucleosynthesis from Monte Carlo variation of reaction rates (2019)
Journal Article

Uncertainties in νp-process nucleosynthesis from Monte Carlo variation of reaction rates. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(1), 1379-1396. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2104

It has been suggested that a ?p process can occur when hot, dense, and proton-rich matter is expanding within a strong flux of anti-neutrinos. In such an environment, proton-rich nuclides can be produced in sequences of proton captures and (n, p) rea...
