We introduce a new concept, the distribution of neutron exposures of the Galaxy （NEG）, to study the chemical evolution characteristics of the Galaxy for s-process elements. Using a chemical evolution model of the Galaxy, we develop a model for the NEG and obtain the evolution results of the NEG in different epochs. The present results appear to reasonably reproduce the distribution of neutron exposures of the solar system （hereafter NES）. The main component and the strong component in the NES are built up in different epochs. The strong component of the s-process is mainly synthesised in the low-mass and metal-poor AGB stars, and the main component is produced by the s-process in the low-mass AGB stars with higher metallicities.展开更多

An analysis of the morphology and kinematics of the CSE is presented with a result very similar to that obtained earlier for ^12CO（2–1） emission using the Submillimeter Array. A quantitative comparison is made using their flared disk model. A new model is presented that provides a significantly better description of the data, using radial winds and smooth evolutions of the radio emission and wind velocity from the stellar equator to the poles.展开更多

The TCM has been successfully applied over the entire convective envelopes, including the convective unstable zone and the overshooting regions. We find that the convective motions become progressively stronger when the stellar models are located farther up along the Hayashi line. In the convective unstable zone, we find that the turbulent correlations are proportional to functions of a common factor （V - V^d）T, which explains similar distributions in those correlations. For the TCM we find that if the obtained stellar temperature structure is close to that of the mixing length theory （MLT）, the convective motion will have a much larger velocity and thus be more violent. However, if the turbulent velocity is adjusted to be close to that of the MLT, the superadiabatic convection zone would be much more extended inward, which would lead to a lower effective temperature of the stellar model. For the overshooting distance, we find that the e-folding lengths of the turbulent kinetic energy k in both the top and bottom overshooting regions decrease as the stellar model is progressively located farther up along the Hayashi line, but both the extents of the decrease are not obvious. The overshooting distances of the turbulent correlation /u＇rT＂ are almost the same for the different stellar models with the same set of TCM parameters. For the decay modes of the kinetic energy k, we find that they are very similar for different stellar models based on the same set of TCM parameters, and there is a nearly linear relationship between lg k and In P for different stellar models. When Cs or α increases while the other parameters are fixed, the obtained linearly decaying distance will become longer.展开更多

The growing of the core mass and the mass loss through steller winds are also considered. Comparisons between the computed correlation: {[F/O], C/O}; {[F/O], (s/Ti)} and that of the observations are then presented. It appears that fluorine and heavy elements can be synthesized where the nucleosynthesis events occur in a fit temperature range, and then are dredged up to the surface of the star. Because F production only occurs in a narrow temperature range, the synthesis events are sensitive to temperature. The observation of this case is discussed specially.展开更多
