I have shown that the enhancement of fusion rates in stars due to electrostatic screening does not depend on the Gamow energy of the fusing nuclei (in the classical weak screening limit). Opher and Opher have recently published an ApJ paper…
The C12+C12 fusion cross sections show resonant behavior down to the lowest energies accessible so far in the laboratory. If this tendency continues into the astrophysical energy range, the stellar C12+C12 reaction rates have to be…

Since their formation, stars slow down their rotation rates by the removal of angular momentum from their surfaces, e.g. via stellar winds. Despite the complexity of the processes involved, a traditional model, where the removal of angular…
