Nucleosynthesis in Binary Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the effect of duplicity on stellar yields of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Populations of single and binary stars are modelled and the yields calculated for the whole population. The effects of explosive nucleosynthesis in novae and supernovae are included but by artificially removing these effects from our populations we determine the influence of a binary companion on asymptotic giant branch yields of the CNO elements.

Binary Populations of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars
We construct binary-star population nucleosynthesis models of carbon-enhanced metal poor (CEMP) stars. We compare the CEMP to EMP (extremely metal poor) ratio of our models to the observed ratio and find it is an order of magnitude too small. Through an increase in the efficiency of third dredge-up in low-mass, low-metallicity thermally-pulsing asymptotic-giant branch (TPAGB) stars our models b...

متن کاملWhat Can the Accretion Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs Really Explain?
The accretion induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf into a neutron star has been invoked to explain gamma-ray bursts, Type Ia supernovae, and a number of problematic neutron star populations and specific binary systems. The ejecta from this collapse has also been claimed as a source of r-process nucleosynthesis. So far, most AIC studies have focussed on determining the event rates from binary...
متن کاملWind Roche-lobe overflow: Application to carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars (CEMP) are observed as a substantial fraction of the very metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo. Most CEMP stars are also enriched in s-process elements and these are often found in binary systems. This suggests that the carbon enrichment is due to mass transfer in the past from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star on to a low-mass companion. Models of binary p...
متن کاملElement Abundances and Galactic Chemical Evolution
Recent developments in the study of element abundances and their impact on our understanding of the evolution of stars and the chemical evolution of the Galaxy are described. In particular, problems that may beneet, or beneet from, work on binary stellar populations are highlighted. These include: diierent mixing processes in globular cluster and eld stars, evidenced by Li and nuclei in the NeN...
