Massive stars have a strong impact on their surroundings, in particular when they produce a core-collapse supernova at the end of their evolution. In these proceedings, we review the general evolution of massive stars and their properties at collapse... Read More about Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae.

Menstrual leave (2017)
Journal Article
King, S. (2017). Menstrual leave. Occupational Health [at Work], 11(5), 35-36

In some countries, so-called ‘menstrual leave’ – allowing women to take time off work around their menstrual cycle – is enshrined in law. In the UK, the media has recently highlighted the debate about menstrual leave. In the first of a series of arti... Read More about Menstrual leave.

Impacts of Nuclear-Physics Uncertainty in Stellar Temperatures on the s-Process Nucleosynthesis (2017)
Journal Article

We evaluated the uncertainty relevant to s-process nucleosynthesis using a Monte-Carlo centred approach. We are based on a realistic and general prescription of temperature dependent uncertainty for the reactions. We considered massive stars for the...

After central He burning exhaustion, stars with an initial mass of 1.5–3 solar masses start the AGB phase. In this phase, the s-process takes place, which is producing about half of all elements heavier than iron. We calculated non-rotating AGB stell...
