Universality and variability of the heavy r-process element abundance pattern from a nonequilibrium approach

David Blaschke, Friedrich K. Röpke, Gerd Röpke

A striking feature in the observed chemical composition of the majority of stars is the universality of the relative abundances of the heavy elements, although some outliers exist.…
