Flare energy release in turbulent current sheet and particle acceleration in this system. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...
