نویسنده
چکیده
New low and intermediate mass star yields recalculated by Buell (1987) are evaluated by using them in a Galactic Chemical Evolution model. We analyze their effects on CNO elemental abundances

On the Production and Survival of Carbon Fuel for Superbursts on Accreting Neutron Stars: Implications for Mass Donor Evolution
We have investigated the physical conditions under which accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries can both produce and preserve sufficient quantities of carbon fuel to trigger superbursts. Our theoretical models span the plausible ranges of neutron star thermal conductivities, core neutrino emission mechanisms, and areal radii, as well as the CNO abundances in the accreted material. W...
متن کاملThe Chemical Evolution of Helium in Globular Clusters: Implications for the Self-Pollution Scenario
We investigate the suggestion that there are stellar populations in some globular clusters with enhanced helium (Y ∼ 0.28 to 0.40) compared to the primordial value. We assume that a previous generation of massive Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars have polluted the cluster. Two independent sets of AGB yields are used to follow the evolution of helium and CNO using a Salpeter initial mass funct...
متن کاملA Stochastic Approach to Chemical Evolution
Observations of elemental abundances in the Galaxy have repeatedly shown an intrinsic scatter as a function of time and metallicity. The standard approach to chemical evolution does not attempt to address this scatter in abundances since only the mean evolution is followed. In this work the scatter is addressed via a stochastic approach to solving chemical evolution models. Three standard chemi...
متن کاملEvolution of the First Stars: CNO Yields and the C-rich Extremely Metal Poor Stars
Rotating massive stars at Z = 10 and 10 lose a great part of their initial mass through stellar winds. The chemical composition of the rotationally enhanced winds of very low Z stars is very peculiar. The winds show large CNO enhancements by factors of 10 to 10, together with large excesses of C and O and moderate amounts of Na and Al. The excesses of primary N are particularly striking. When t...
متن کاملImplications of a new temperature scale for halo dwarfs on LiBeB and chemical evolution
Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the cosmic baryon density from cosmic microwave background anisotropies together predict a primordial Li abundance a factor of 2–3 higher than that observed in galactic halo dwarf stars. A recent analysis of Li observations in halo stars, using significantly higher surface temperature for these stars, found a higher Li plateau abundance. These results go a lon...
