    Low-mass low-metallicity AGB stars as an efficient i-process site explaining CEMP-rs stars
    Context. Among carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, some are found to be enriched in slow-neutron capture (s-process) elements (and are then tagged CEMP-s)...

    Microstructures of Planetary Nebulae with Large Telescopes
    Planetary nebulae (PNe) are known to possess a variety of small-scale structures that are usually in a lower ionization state than the main body of the nebulae...

    Neutron-capture Element Abundances in Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebulae
    We present near-infrared spectra of 10 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), acquired with the FIRE and GNIRS...

    New estimates of the contribution of Wolf-Rayet stellar winds to the Galactic 26Al
    We present new yields of 26Al from Wolf-Rayet stellar winds based on rotating stellar models which account well for numerous observed properties of massive...

    Nucleosynthesis in massive AGB stars with delayed superwinds: implications for the abundance anomalies in globular clusters .
    We present nucleosynthesis predictions for massive (5-7 M⊙) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of solar metallicity where we delay the onset of the superwind...
