Phase-space structure in the local dark matter distribution and its signature in direct detection experiments

Mark Vogelsberger, Amina Helmi, Volker Springel +6

We study predictions for dark matter phase-space structure near the Sun based on high-resolution simulations of six galaxy halos taken from the Aquarius Project. The local DM densi…

Complete nucleosynthesis calculations for low-mass stars from NuGrid

Marco Pignatari, Falk Herwig, Michael Bennett +8

Many nucleosynthesis and mixing processes of low-mass stars as they evolve from the Main Sequence to the thermal-pulse Asymptotic Giant Branch phase (TP-AGB) are well understood (a…

Spatial Distribution of Nucleosynthesis Products in Cassiopeia A: Comparison Between Observations and 3D Explosion Models

Patrick Young, Carola I. Ellinger, Francis X. Timmes +10

We examine observed heavy element abundances in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant as a constraint on the nature of the Cas A supernova. We compare bulk abundances from 1D and 3D e…
