Revised rates for the stellar triple-alpha process from measurement of super(12) C nuclear resonances
Article Abstract:
A measurement of the inverse process, where a super(12)C nucleus decays to three alpha-particles, is described. It is also shown that interference between two resonances has important effects on the measured spectrum. The data obtained are used to calculate the triple-alpha rate for temperatures from (super 7)10K to 10(super 10)K and find significant deviations from the standard rates.

Superficial resonance
Article Abstract:
The author discusses the study on neutron stars. The topics include the analysis of the physical clues to the neutron stars' fundamental properties, and of the nature of the neutron stars' surface and composition revealed via the observation of X-rays emitted from the stars.

A collimated, high-speed outflow from the dying star V Hydrae
Article Abstract:
The discovery of newly launched, high-speed jet-like outflow in the nearby asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star, V Hydrae is reported. The V Hya jet helps in improving the understanding of astrophysical jets and their operation.
