Nuclear -Ray Cascades as Markov Processes
A. Psaltis
A framework for computing -ray feeding probabilities in nuclear decay schemes based on absorbing Markov chains is presented. In this approach, excited nuclear states are treated…
Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG. Beyond the iron peak: Galactic evolution of molybdenum, ruthenium and zirconium through open clusters
Natalia Alvarez-Baena, Valentina D'Orazi, Christopher Sneden +11
Context: Open clusters serve as key laboratories for studying the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. In particular, leveraging these coeval groups of stars to study elements beyo…
The 2025 Evaluation of Experimental Thermonuclear Reaction Rates (ETR25)
Christian Iliadis, Richard Longland, Kiana Setoodehnia +3
This work describes the formalism for estimating thermonuclear reaction rates for astrophysical applications, emphasizing modern statistical approaches such as Monte-Carlo sampling…
Direct Measurement of the CuNi Excitation Function to Constrain the Ni--Cu Cycle Strength and Its Impact on Explosive Nucleosynthesis
E. Lopez-Saavedra, M. L. Avila, W. -J. Ong +21
A new direct measurement of the 59Cu(p,a)56Ni excitation function from 2.43-5.88 MeV in the center-of-mass was performed in inverse kinematics using the high-efficiency MUSIC activ…
Direct measurement of Cu(,)Ni precludes a strong NiCu cycle in Type-I X-ray bursts
N. Bhathi, J. S. Randhawa, R. Kanungo +36
Model-observation comparisons of type-I X-ray bursts (XRBs) can reveal the properties of accreting neutron star systems, including the neutron star compactness. XRBs are powered by…
Molybdenum and ruthenium in the Galactic disk: A closer look at their nucleosynthesis components
Tamara Mishenina, Teresa Kurtukian-Nieto, Tatiana Gorbaneva +3
The stellar origin of the elements molybdenum (Mo, Z=42) and ruthenium (Ru, Z=44) is still a matter of debate. Studying their abundances provides valuable insights into nucleosynth…
