Francesca D'Antona Home Page

Welcome to my home page (still under construction). I am associate astronomer at the astronomical observatory of Rome. I am also affiliated to the Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica Cosmica CNR (IASF) . My (research and personal) interests are:

Here you will find

2006-NEW!: 30 years after the 2nd European Workshop on White Dwarfs,
held in Monteporzio, 1976: PHOTOS here

2002: my html presentation at the Stellar Abundances & Nucleosynthesis Conference (Seattle, 27-29 March 2002) is here

1999-2000: Research Activity in Italian, and in English, plus an update 2001 and list of publication

a list of my publications as found in the ADS

PREMAIN SEQUENCE 1994 tracks by D'Antona and Mazzitelli

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We found a problem in the 1997 computation of the very low mass stars evolution, and corrected it in the new tracks (1998), but for most purposes the DM97 tracks can be safely used.

A project of research on ``Astrophysics of light elements" coordinated by F. D'Antona has been financed for 1997-98 from the CNAA (Consorzio Nazionale Astronomia ed Astrofisica). A small meeting gathering the participants in this project has been held in Monte Porzio on 16 - 17 April 1998. The program of this workshop ASTROFISICA DEGLI ELEMENTI LEGGERI is given here.
