The composition of Barium stars and the s-process in AGB stars. Issue Volume 14:Issue S343(2019) (August 2018) - Cseh, Borbála
Abstract: Using abundances from the available largest, homogeneous sample of high resolution Barium (Ba) star spectra we calculated the ratios of different hs-like to ls-like elemental ratios and compared to different AGB nucleosynthesis models. The Ba star data show an incontestable increase of the hs-type/ls-type element ratio (for example, [Ce/Y]) with decreasing metallicity. This trend in the Ba star observations is predicted by low mass, non-rotating AGB models where 13 C is the main neutron source and is in agreement with Kepler asteroseismology observations.
