Astromers: Nuclear Isomers in Astrophysics
G. Wendell Misch, Surja K. Ghorui, Projjwal Banerjee +2
We develop a method to compute thermally-mediated transition rates between the ground state and long-lived isomers in nuclei. We also establish criteria delimiting a thermalization…
The chemical signature of jet-driven hypernovae
J. J. Grimmett, Bernhard Müller, Alexander Heger +2
Hypernovae powered by magnetic jets launched from the surface of rapidly rotating millisecond magnetars are one of the leading models to explain broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SNe…
Neutron Star Mergers as the Main Source of R-process: Natal Kicks And Inside-Out Evolution to The Rescue
Projjwal Banerjee, Meng-Ru Wu, Zhen Yuan
Binary neutron star mergers (BNSMs) is currently the most promising source of \textsl{r}-process thanks to the detection of GW170817. The estimated occurring frequency and the amou…
