Sensitivity of Neutron-Rich Nuclear Isomer Behavior to Uncertainties in Direct Transitions
G. Wendell Misch, Trevor M. Sprouse, Matthew R. Mumpower +4
Nuclear isomers are populated in the rapid neutron capture process (r process) of nucleosynthesis. The r process may cover a wide range of temperatures, potentially starting from s…
Axisymmetric Radiative Transfer Models of Kilonovae
Oleg Korobkin, Ryan Wollaeger, Christopher Fryer +9
The detailed observations of GW170817 proved for the first time directly that neutron star mergers are a major production site of heavy elements. The observations could be fit by a…
Gamma-rays from kilonova: a potential probe of r-process nucleosynthesis
Oleg Korobkin, Aimee M. Hungerford, Christopher L. Fryer +11
The mergers of compact binaries with at least one neutron star component are the potential leading sites of the production and ejection of -process elements. Discoveries of gala…
Composition Effects on Kilonova Spectra and Light Curves: I
Wesley Even, Oleg Korobkin, Christopher L. Fryer +7
The merger of neutron star binaries is believed to eject a wide range of heavy elements into the universe. By observing the emission from this ejecta, scientists can probe the ejec…
Using Steady State Behavior to Assess Treatments of Nuclear Isomers in Astrophysical Environments
G. Wendell Misch, Surja K. Ghorui, Yang Sun
Differing reaction rates of long-lived nuclear states can force the level occupations out of thermal equilibrium, causing calculations of overall rates which rely on thermal equili…
Effective Stellar -Decay Rates of Nuclei with Long-lived Isomers: Al and Cl
Projjwal Banerjee, G. Wendell Misch, Surja K. Ghorui +1
Isotopes with low-lying long-lived isomers can behave very differently from other isotopes in astrophysical environments. In particular, the assumption of thermal equilibrium in co…
