Finite size effects in isobaric ratios

S. R. Souza, M. B. Tsang

The properties of isobaric ratios, between nuclei produced in the same reaction, are investigated using the canonical and grand-canonical statistical ensembles. Although the grand-…

Production of 26Al in stellar hydrogen-burning environments: spectroscopic properties of states in 27Si

A. Parikh, K. Wimmer, T. Faestermann +11

Model predictions of the amount of the radioisotope 26Al produced in hydrogen-burning environments require reliable estimates of the thermonuclear rates for the 26gAl(p,γ)27Si and…

Remnants of Binary White Dwarf Mergers

Cody Raskin, Evan Scannapieco, Chris Fryer +2

We carry out a comprehensive smooth particle hydrodynamics simulation survey of double-degenerate white dwarf binary mergers of varying mass combinations in order to establish corr…

The Metallicity Distribution Functions of SEGUE G and K dwarfs: Constraints for Disk Chemical Evolution and Formation

Katharine J. Schlesinger, Jennifer A. Johnson, Constance M. Rockosi +14

We present the metallicity distribution function (MDF) for 24,270 G and 16,847 K dwarfs at distances from 0.2 to 2.3 kpc from the Galactic plane, based on spectroscopy from the Slo…

Low-temperature triple-alpha rate in a full three-body model

N. B. Nguyen, F. M. Nunes, I. J. Thompson +1

A new full three-body method is introduced to compute the rate of the triple-alpha capture reaction which is the primary source of C in stars. In this work, we combine the F…

Time-Resolved Spectroscopy with SDSS

Steven Bickerton, Carles Badenes, Thomas Hettinger +2

We present a brief technical outline of the newly-formed 'Detection of Spectroscopic Differences over Time' (DS/DT) project. Our collaboration is using the individual exposures fro…
