Beta-Particle Transport and Thermalization in Kilonova Ejecta with Detailed Atomic Microphysics
Zachary L. Andalman, Christopher L. Fryer, Christopher J. Fontes +2
When two neutron stars collide, they eject material containing heavy nuclei formed by the rapid neutron capture process (-process). As these nuclei decay, they power a bright op…
Propagating Uncertainties from Nuclear Physics to Gamma-rays in Core Collapse Supernovae
Chris L Fryer, Hendrik Schatz, Samuel Jones +18
Nuclear yields are powerful probes of supernova explosions, their engines and their progenitors. In addition, as we improve our understanding of these explosions, we can use nuclea…
Gamma-Ray Spectra of -Process Nuclei
Axel Gross, Samuel Cupp, Matthew R Mumpower
The radioactive decay of unstable nuclei created in the rapid neutron capture process releases a large amount of -rays. When the ejecta are optically thick, these -rays may c…
Kilonovae and Long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Marko Ristić, Brandon L. Barker, Samuel Cupp +5
Recent detections of kilonova-like emission following long-duration gamma-ray bursts GRB211211A and GRB230307A have been interpreted as originating from the merger of two neutron s…
Multi-messengers from the radioactive decay of -process nuclei
Axel Gross, Samuel Cupp, Matthew R. Mumpower
The radioactive -decay of nuclei synthesized in the rapid neutron capture process (-process) releases a variety of particles, including electrons, -rays, neutrinos, and ne…
Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era
Eric Burns, Christopher L. Fryer, Ivan Agullo +82
Astrophysical observations of the cosmos allow us to probe extreme physics and answer foundational questions on our universe. Modern astronomy is increasingly operating under a hol…
