Full Transport General Relativistic Radiation Magnetohydrodynamics for Nucleosynthesis in Collapsars
Jonah M. Miller, Trevor M. Sprouse, Christopher L. Fryer +4
We model a compact black hole-accretion disk system in the collapsar scenario with full transport, frequency dependent, general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics. We exam…
Co-production of light and heavy -process elements via fission deposition
Nicole Vassh, Matthew R. Mumpower, Gail C. McLaughlin +2
We apply for the first time fission yields determined across the chart of nuclides from the macroscopic-microscopic theory of the Finite Range Liquid Drop Model to simulations of r…
Sandblasting the -Process: Spallation of Ejecta from Neutron Star Mergers
Xilu Wang, Brian D. Fields, Matthew Mumpower +3
Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are rapid neutron capture (-process) nucleosynthesis sites that expel matter at high velocities, from to as high as . Nuclei ej…
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…
Actinide-rich and Actinide-poor -Process Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars do not Require Separate -Process Progenitors
Erika M. Holmbeck, Anna Frebel, G. C. McLaughlin +3
The astrophysical production site of the heaviest elements in the universe remains a mystery. Incorporating heavy element signatures of metal-poor, -process enhanced stars into…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Propagation of Statistical Uncertainties of Skyrme Mass Models to Simulations of -Process Nucleosynthesis
T. M. Sprouse, R. Navarro Perez, R. Surman +3
Uncertainties in nuclear models have a major impact on simulations that aim at understanding the origin of heavy elements in the universe through the rapid neutron capture process…
