Non-standard s-process in massive rotating stars (2018)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R. (2018). Non-standard s-process in massive rotating stars. Astronomy and Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201833283

Context Recent studies show that rotation significantly affects the s-process in massive stars. Aims We provide tables of yields for non-rotating and rotating massive stars between 10 and 150 M? at Z = 10-3 ([Fe/H] = -1.8). Tables for different...

NuGrid Stellar Data Set. II. Stellar Yields from H to Bi for Stellar Models with MZAMS = 1 to 25 M? and Z = 0.0001 to 0.02 (2018)
Journal Article
Ritter, C., Herwig, F., Jones, S., Pignatari, M., Fryer, C., & Hirschi, R. (2018). NuGrid Stellar Data Set. II. Stellar Yields from H to Bi for Stellar Models with MZAMS = 1 to 25 M? and Z = 0.0001 to 0.02. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 480(1), 538-571. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1729

We provide here a significant extension of the NuGrid Set 1 models in mass coverage and toward lower metallicity, adopting the same physics assumptions. The combined data set now includes the initial masses MZAMS/?M? = 1, 1.65, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12,... Read More about NuGrid Stellar Data Set. II.

OGLE14-073 – a promising pair-instability supernova candidate (2018)
Journal Article
Kozyreva, A., Kromer, M., Noebauer, U. M., & Hirschi, R. (2018). OGLE14-073 – a promising pair-instability supernova candidate. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 479(3), 3106 - 3114. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty983

The recently discovered bright Type? II supernova OGLE14-073 evolved very slowly. The light curve rose to maximum for 90?d from discovery and then declined at a rate compatible with the radioactive decay of 56Co. In this study, we show that a pair-in...

Uncertainties in s -process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars determined from Monte Carlo variations (2018)
Journal Article
Cescutti, G., Hirschi, R., Nishimura, N., den Hartogh, J. W., Rauscher, T., Murphy, A. S. J., & Cristallo, S. (2018). Uncertainties in s -process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars determined from Monte Carlo variations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 478(3), 4101-4127. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1185

The main s-process taking place in low mass stars produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. It is therefore very important to determine the importance and impact of nuclear physics uncertainties on this process. We have performed extensi...

Abundance uncertainties obtained with the PIZBUIN framework for Monte Carlo reaction rate variations (2018)
Journal Article
Rauscher, T., Nishimura, N., Cescutti, G., Hirschi, R., & Murphy, A. S. J. (2018). Abundance uncertainties obtained with the PIZBUIN framework for Monte Carlo reaction rate variations. AIP conference proceedings, 1947(1), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5030819

Uncertainties in nucleosynthesis models originating from uncertainties in astrophysical reaction rates were estimated in a Monte Carlo variation procedure. Thousands of rates were simultaneously varied within individual, temperature-dependent errors...

Impact of rotation and magnetic fields in low mass AGB stars (2018)
Conference Proceeding
den Hartogh, J. W., Hirschi, R., Georgy, C., Eggenberger, P., Herwig, F., Pignatari, M., …Ritter, C. (2018). Impact of rotation and magnetic fields in low mass AGB stars. . https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/940/1/012038

After core helium burning in low and intermediate-mass stars, starts the AGB phase. In this phase, the s process takes place, which is believed to be at the origin of half of all elements heavier than iron. The role of rotation and magnetic fields on...

Nucleosynthesis in the first massive stars (2018)
Journal Article
Hirschi. (2018). Nucleosynthesis in the first massive stars. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 012021 -?. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/940/1/012021

The nucleosynthesis in the first massive stars may be constrained by observing the surface composition of long-lived very iron-poor stars born around 10 billion years ago from material enriched by their ejecta. Many interesting clues on physical proc... Read More about Nucleosynthesis in the first massive stars.

Sensitivity to neutron captures and ß -decays of the enhanced s-process in rotating massive stars at low metallicities (2018)
Journal Article
Hirschi. (2018). Sensitivity to neutron captures and ß -decays of the enhanced s-process in rotating massive stars at low metallicities. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 12051. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/940/1/012051

The s-process in massive stars, producing nuclei up to A ˜ 90, has a different behaviour at low metallicity if stellar rotation is significant. This enhanced s-process is distinct from the s-process in massive stars around solar metallicity, and deta...
