摘要
Context. Material processed by the CNO cycle in stellar interiors is enriched in O-17. When mixing processes from the stellar surface reach these layers, as occurs when stars become red giants and undergo the first dredge up, the abundance of O-17 increases. Such an occurrence explains the drop of the O-16/O-17 observed in RGB stars with mass larger than similar to 1.5 M-circle dot. As a consequence, the interstellar medium is continuously polluted by the wind of evolved stars enriched in O-17. Aims. Recently, the Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (LUNA) collaboration released an improved rate of the O-17(p, alpha)N-14 reaction. In this paper we discuss the impact that the revised rate has on the O-16/O-17 ratio at the stellar surface and on O-17 stellar yields. Methods. We computed stellar models of initial mass between 1 and 20 M-circle dot and compared the results obtained by adopting the revised rate of the O-17(p, alpha)N-14 to those obtained using previous rates. Results. The post- first dredge up O-16/O-17 ratios are about 20% larger than previously obtained. Negligible variations are found in the case of the second and the third dredge up. In spite of the larger O-17(p, alpha)N-14 rate, we confirm previous claims that an extra-mixing process on the red giant branch, commonly invoked to explain the low carbon isotopic ratio observed in bright low-mass giant stars, marginally affects the O-16/O-17 ratio. Possible effects on AGB extra-mixing episodes are also discussed. As a whole, a substantial reduction of O-17 stellar yields is found. In particular, the net yield of stars with mass ranging between 2 and 20 M-circle dot is 15 to 40% smaller than previously estimated. Conclusions. The revision of the O-17(p, alpha)N-14 rate has a major impact on the interpretation of the O-16/O-17 observed in evolved giants, in stardust grains and on the O-17 stellar yields.
