What is a globular cluster? An observational perspective

R Gratton, A Bragaglia, E Carretta, V D'Orazi… - The Astronomy and …, 2019 - Springer
Globular clusters are large and dense agglomerate of stars. At variance with smaller clusters
of stars, they exhibit signs of some chemical evolution. At least for this reason, they are …

Neutron-capture elements in the early galaxy

C Sneden, JJ Cowan, R Gallino - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
The content of neutron-capture (trans-iron-peak) elements in the low-metallicity Galactic
halo varies widely from star to star. The differences are both in bulk amount of the neutron …

Nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars: Relevance for galactic enrichment and solar system formation

M Busso, R Gallino… - Annual Review of …, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We present a review of nucleosynthesis in AGB stars outlining the development of
theoretical models and their relationship to observations. We focus on the new high …

Asymptotic giant branch evolution and beyond

I Iben, A Renzini - Annual review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1983 - annualreviews.org
In this review, attention is concentrated on progress in understanding the last stages of
evolution oflow-and intermediate-mass stars. We define low mass stars to be those that …

Abundance variations within globular clusters

R Gratton, C Sneden, E Carretta - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Abundance variations within globular clusters (GCs), and of GC stars with respect
to field stars, are important diagnostics of a variety of physical phenomena, related to the …

Abstract Forty years ago Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle combined what we would
now call fragmentary evidence from nuclear physics, stellar evolution and the abundances …

Dawes review 6: the impact of companions on stellar evolution

O De Marco, RG Izzard - Publications of the Astronomical Society of …, 2017 - cambridge.org
Astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on
stellar evolution. New discoveries have underlined the role of binary star interactions in a …

Normal and abnormal binary frequencies

HA Abt - Annual review of astronomy and astrophysics, 1983 - annualreviews.org
It is becoming apparent that most normal main-sequence stars are members of both short-
period and long-period systems. Let us cite some evidence. Petrie (1960) showed from a …
