Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron capture rate variations in weak -process simulations
Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia +7
Reliable predictions of weak rapid neutron capture (-process) abundances require a systematic treatment of nuclear physics uncertainties, especially neutron capture rat…
Total r-process Yields of Milky Way Neutron Star Mergers
Erika M. Holmbeck, Jeff J. Andrews
While it is now known that double neutron star binary systems (DNSs) are copious producers of heavy elements, there remains much speculation about whether they are the sole or even…
Superheavy Elements in Kilonovae
Erika M. Holmbeck, Jennifer Barnes, Kelsey A. Lund +3
As LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA enters its fourth observing run, a new opportunity to search for electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers will also begin. The light curves and sp…
Constraining inputs to realistic kilonova simulations through comparison to observed -process abundances
M. Ristic, E. M. Holmbeck, R. Wollaeger +7
Kilonovae, one source of electromagnetic emission associated with neutron star mergers, are powered by the decay of radioactive isotopes in the neutron-rich merger ejecta. Models f…
A Nuclear Equation of State Inferred from Stellar r-process Abundances
Erika M. Holmbeck, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Vera Delfavero +1
Binary neutron star mergers (NSMs) have been confirmed as one source of the heaviest observable elements made by the rapid neutron-capture (r-) process. However, modeling NSM outfl…
Reconstructing Masses of Merging Neutron Stars from Stellar -Process Abundance Signatures
Erika M. Holmbeck, Anna Frebel, G. C. McLaughlin +5
Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are promising astrophysical sites for the rapid neutron-capture ("-") process, but can their integrated yields explain the majority of heavy-element…
