S-process nucleosynthesis on the asymptotic giant branch
Abstract
Present understanding of s-process nucleosynthesis on the asymptotic giant branch stars is reviewed. Ne-22 and C-13 as competing neutron sources are discussed, including the evidence for and against each. Recent evidence for hot bottom burning is considered.
