Abstract
In this contribution, I will focus on two nuclides, $\rm {Al}}$ and $\rm {F}}$ whose origin has been uncertain for a long time and still remains a matter of debate. I will present the contribution of Manuel Forestini to the understanding of the origin of these nuclides, and in particular to the description of their synthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars. I will also present an overview of the latest results concerning $\rm {Al}}$ and $\rm {F}}$ and of the open questions still to be answered.
