Abstract

We present stellar yields calculated from detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We evolve models with a range of mass from 1 to 6Msun, and initial metallicities from solar to 1/200th of the solar metallicity. Each model was evolved from the zero age main sequence to near the end of the thermally-pulsing AGB phase, and through all intermediate phases including the core He-flash for stars initially less massive than 2.5Msun. For each mass and metallicity, we provide tables containing structural details of the stellar models during the TP-AGB phase, and tables of the stellar yields for 74 species from hydrogen through to sulphur, and for a small number of iron-group nuclei. All tables are available for download. Our results have many applications including use in population synthesis studies and the chemical evolution of galaxies and stellar systems, and for comparison to the composition of AGB and post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae.

Putting The Together A Cyclical Baryonic Universe

There are multiple examples of gravitational losses in neutron stars and black holes. Protons and neutrons have been found to have enormous repulsive pressures that highly squeezed collapsing matter cannot overcome. The case against singularities follows. Galactic black hole gravitational losses can supply the missing dark energy. With highly squeezed nucleons, the big bang could begin as a hot core and a cold dark matter shell. The 21 cm. radiation data has identified baryon sized particles as cold dark matter. Highly squeezed nucleons will not decompose to produce antimatter. The flatness of the Universe is due to a baryonic bounce. The highly correlated galaxies originated from primordial black holes capturing hot core gasses.There is evidence that galaxies have not grown nor merged significantly since formation.

Direct observation of high-speed plasma outflows produced by magnetic reconnection in solar impulsive events

Spectroscopic observations of a solar limb flare recorded by SUMER on SOHO reveal, for the first time, hot fast magnetic reconnection outflows in the corona. As the reconnection site rises across the SUMER spectrometer slit, significant blue- and red-shift signatures are observed in sequence in the Fe XIX line, reflecting upflows and downflows of hot plasma jets, respectively. With the projection effect corrected, the measured outflow speed is between 900-3500 km/s, consistent with theoretical predictions of the Alfvenic outflows in magnetic reconnection region in solar impulsive events. Based on theoretic models, the magnetic field strength near the reconnection region is estimated to be 19-37 Gauss.

Multiwavelength evidence of the physical processes in radio jets

Over the last few years, high-quality X-ray imaging and spectroscopic data from Chandra and XMM-Newton have added greatly to the understanding of the physics of radio jets. Here we describe the current state of knowledge with an emphasis on the underlying physics used to interpret multiwavelength data in terms of physical parameters.
