- W3132656875 abstract "Context. Results from observations report a growing number of metal-poor stars showing an abundance pattern midway between the s - and r -processes. These so-called r/s-stars raise the need for an intermediate neutron capture process (i -process), which is thought to result from the ingestion of protons in a convective helium-burning region, but whose astrophysical site is still largely debated.Aims. We investigate whether an i -process during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of low-metallicity low-mass stars can develop and whether it can explain the abundances of observed r/s-stars.Methods. We computed a 1 M ⊙ model at [Fe/H] = −2.5 with the stellar evolution code STAREVOL, using a nuclear network of 1091 species (at maximum) coupled to the transport processes. The impact of the temporal and spatial resolutions on the resulting abundances was assessed. We also identified key elements and isotopic ratios that are specific to i -process nucleosynthesis and carried out a detailed comparison between our model and a sample of r/s-stars.Results. At the beginning of the AGB phase, during the third thermal pulse, the helium driven convection zone is able to penetrate the hydrogen-rich layers. The subsequent proton ingestion leads to a strong neutron burst with neutron densities of ∼4.3 × 1014 cm−3 at the origin of the synthesis of i -process elements. The nuclear energy released by proton burning in the helium-burning convective shell strongly affects the internal structure: the thermal pulse splits and after approximately ten years the upper part of the convection zone merges with the convective envelope. The surface carbon abundance is enhanced by more than 3 dex. This leads to an increase in the opacity, which triggers a strong mass loss and prevents any further thermal pulse. Our numerical tests indicate that the i -process elemental distribution is not strongly affected by the temporal and spatial resolution used to compute the stellar models, but typical uncertainties of ±0.3 dex on individual abundances are found. We show that specific isotopic ratios of Ba, Nd, Sm, and Eu can represent good tracers of i -process nucleosynthesis. Finally, an extended comparison with 14 selected r/s-stars show that the observed composition patterns can be well reproduced by our i -process AGB model.Conclusions. A rich i -process nucleosynthesis can take place during the early AGB phase of low-metallicity low-mass stars and explain the elemental distribution of most of the r/s-stars, but cannot account for the high level of enrichment of the giant stars in a scenario involving pollution by a former AGB companion." @default.
