Combining asteroseismic and s-process nucleosynthesis observations to constrain the evolution of rotating low-mass stars (2020)
Thesis
den Hartogh, J. W. (2020). Combining asteroseismic and s-process nucleosynthesis observations to constrain the evolution of rotating low-mass stars. (Thesis). Keele University

In this thesis, I study the evolution of low-mass (around 2 M?) solar-metallicity stars including the effect of rotation and magnetic fields. These stars produce a significant amount of elements heavier than iron via the so-called s process and thus...
