Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleosynthesis in Classical Novae and Its Contribution to the Interstellar Medium
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most of the heavy isotope anomalies attributable to novae are most likely produced by the approximately 25%-33% of novae that occur in systems containing massive (M, O) oxygen-neon-magnesium (ONeMg) WDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model atmospheres of very low mass stars and brown dwarfs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current state-of-the-art theory and modeling of the atmospheres of very low mass stars, including the coolest known M dwarfs, M subdwarfs, and brown dwarfs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the Astro2010 Decadal Survey with a vista into the goals of the nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics community, and alert the astronomical community of joint opportunities for discoveries at the interface between nuclear particle physics and astronomy.

TL;DR: High-resolution imaging and polarimetry of light echoes indicate that V838 Mon represents a hitherto unknown type of stellar outburst, for which the authors have no completely satisfactory physical explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton-induced Thermonuclear Reaction Rates for A = 20–40 Nuclei
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction rates of stable and unstable target nuclei in the mass A = 20-40 region have been evaluated and compiled in tabular form on a temperature grid in the range T = 0.01-10.0 GK.
