Explosive Nucleosynthesis: What we learned and what we still do not understand
arXiv:1809.07187 · doi:10.1007/978-3-030-13876-9_21
Abstract
This review touches on historical aspects, going back to the early days of nuclear astrophysics, initiated by BFH and Cameron, discusses (i) the required nuclear input from reaction rates and decay properties up to the nuclear equation of state, continues (ii) with the tools to perform nucleosynthesis calculations and (iii) early parametrized nucleosynthesis studies, before (iv) reliable stellar models became available for the late stages of stellar evolution. It passes then through (v) explosive environments from core-collapse supernovae to explosive events in binary systems (including type Ia supernovae and compact binary mergers), and finally (vi) discusses the role of all these nucleosynthesis production sites in the evolution of galaxies. The focus is put on the comparison of early ideas and present, very recent, understanding.
