TL;DR: In this paper, a review of nucleosynthesis in AGB stars outlining the development of theoretical models and their relationship to observations is presented, focusing on the new high-resolution codes with high accuracy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the observed metal-poor star abundances, contrasting them with the Solar-system values, comparing them to theoretical predictions, and using them to assess the types of stars responsible for their specific anomalies, and speculating on the timing and nature of early Galactic nucleosynthesis.

TL;DR: Recently improved information on the stellar (n, γ) cross sections of neutron magic nuclei at N = 82, and in particular of 142Nd, turn out to represent a sensitive test for models of s-process nucleosynthesis as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the stellar (n,gamma) cross sections of neutron-magic nuclei at N = 82, and in particular of 142Nd, turned out to represent a sensitive test for models of s-process nucleosynthesis and provided significantly better agreement between the solar abundance distribution of s nuclei and the predictions of models for low mass AGB stars.

TL;DR: In this article, a new analysis of neutron capture occurring in low-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars suffering recurrent thermal pulses is presented, where the authors use dedicated evolutionary models for stars of initial mass in the range 1 to 3 M? and metallicity from solar to half solar.
