In this paper, the authors used models for chemical evolution and stellar abundances to test assumptions about the nucleosynthesis of various elements, focusing on empirical evidence that carbon and iron, but not oxygen, are ejected in significant quantities by longer-lived stars than those proposed by Arnett.Abstract:
Models for chemical evolution and stellar abundances are used to test assumptions about the nucleosynthesis of various elements. For primary elements, the emphasis is on empirical evidence that carbon and iron, but not oxygen, are ejected in significant quantities by longer-lived stars than those proposed by Arnett for their entire nucleosynthesis, which all have lifetimes <2 x 10/sup 7/ years.read more

Elemental abundance survey of the Galactic thick disc
TL;DR: In this paper, an abundance analysis for F- and G- dwarfs of the Galactic thick-disc component was performed using accurate radial velocities combined with the Hipparcos astrometry, kinematics (U, V and W) and Galactic orbital parameters.

Observational Clues to the Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the significant recent observational progress in addressing the progenitor problem and consider clues that have emerged from the observed properties of the various proposed proggenitor populations, from studies of SN Ia sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the chemistries of stars in the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellite galaxies with stars from the Galaxy, and found that the [α/Fe] ratios of most stars in dSph galaxies are generally lower than similar metallicity Galactic stars in this extended sample.
