Neutron-capture elements in the s- and r-process-rich stars: Constraints on neutron-capture nucleosynthesis processes
The chemical abundances of the very metal-poor double-enhanced stars are excellent information for setting new constraints on models of neutron-capture processes at low metallicity. These stars are known as s+r stars, since they show enhancements of both s-process and r-process elements. The observed abundance ratios for the double-enhanced stars can be explained by those of stars that were pol...
متن کاملProbing the Neutron-Capture Nucleosynthesis History of Galactic Matter
The heavy elements formed by neutron-capture processes have an interesting history from which we can extract useful clues to and constraints upon both the characteristics of the processes themselves and the star formation and nucleosynthesis history of Galactic matter. Of particular interest in this regard are the heavyelement compositions of extremely metal deficient stars. At metallicities [F...
متن کاملHalo Star Abundances and r-Process Synthesis
The heavy elements formed by neutron capture processes have an interesting history from which we can extract useful clues to and constraints upon the star formation and nucleosynthesis history of Galactic matter. Of particular interest are the heavy element compositions of extremely metal-deficient stars. At metallicities [Fe/H] ≤ -2.5, stellar abundance data (for both halo field stars and glob...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in metal-poor AGB stars
We present detailed abundance results concerning CEMP (Carbon Enhanced Metal-Poor) stars and the various subclasses. Statistical arguments from radial velocity monitoring show that these stars are all binaries and have mass transferred from a former AGB. Therefore these stars are the direct witnesses of the nucleosynthesis production of the first low and intermediate mass stars. To put CEMP sta...
متن کاملThe Dawes Review 2: Nucleosynthesis and stellar yields of low and intermediate-mass single stars
The chemical evolution of the Universe is governed by the chemical yields from stars, which in turn is determined primarily by the initial stellar mass. Even stars as low as 0.9M⊙ can, at low metallicity, contribute to the chemical evolution of elements. Stars less massive than about 10M⊙ experience recurrent mixing events that can significantly change the surface composition of the envelope, w...
متن کاملDetection of Lead in the Carbon-rich, Very Metal-poor Star LP 625-44: A Strong Constraint on s-Process Nucleosynthesis at Low Metallicity.
We report the detection of the Pb i lambda4057.8 line in the very metal-poor (&sqbl0;Fe&solm0;H&sqbr0;=-2.7), carbon-rich star, LP 625-44. We determine the abundance of Pb (&sqbl0;Pb&solm0;Fe&sqbr0;=2.65) and 15 other neutron-capture elements. The abundance pattern between Ba and Pb agrees well with a scaled solar system s-process component, while the lighter elements (Sr-Zr) are less abundant ...
