Nucleosynthesis in early supernova winds III: No significant contribution from neutron-rich pockets
R. D. Hoffman, J. Pruet, J. L. Fisker +3
Recent nucleosynthesis calculations of Type II supernovae using advanced neutrino transport determine that the early neutrino winds are proton-rich. However, a fraction of the ejec…
Models of Type I X-ray Bursts from GS 1826-24: A Probe of rp-Process Hydrogen Burning
Alexander Heger, Andrew Cumming, Duncan K. Galloway +1
The X-ray burster GS 1826-24 shows extremely regular Type I X-ray bursts whose energetics and recurrence times agree well with thermonuclear ignition models. We present calculation…
Pulsational pair instability as an explanation for the most luminous supernovae
S. E. Woosley, S. Blinnikov, Alexander Heger
The extremely luminous supernova SN 2006gy challenges the traditional view that the collapse of a stellar core is the only mechanism by which a massive star makes a supernova, beca…
Nucleosynthesis and Remnants in Massive Stars of Solar Metallicity
S. E. Woosley, A. Heger
Hans Bethe contributed in many ways to our understanding of the supernovae that happen in massive stars, but, to this day, a first principles model of how the explosion is energize…
Models for Gamma-Ray Bursts and Diverse Transients
S. E. Woosley, Weiqun Zhang
The observational diversity of ``gamma-ray bursts'' (GRBs) has been increasing, and the natural inclination is a proliferation of models. We explore the possibility that at least p…
