Stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis
Invited talk
After introducing the slow neutron capture process in massive stars, the so-called weak s process, I will present recent theoretical predictions for the weak s process covering a wide range of initial masses and metallicities. I will in particular discuss the strong effects of rotation at low metallicities and how they boost the weak s process. I will then compare the predictions to...

Stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis
Oral
We present here the application of a model for a mass circulation mechanism in between radia- tive layers and the base of the convective envelope of low mass AGB stars, aimed at studying peculiar aspects of their nucleosynthesis. Until recently the observational evidence that s-process elements from Sr to Pb are produced by stars ascending the second giant branch could not be explained by...
