Constraining nucleosynthesis in neutrino-driven winds: observations, simulations and nuclear physics

A. Psaltis, A. Arcones, F. Montes +4

A promising astrophysical site to produce the lighter heavy elements of the first $r$-process peak ($Z=38-47$) is the moderately neutron rich ($0.4<Y_e<0.5$) neutrino-driven…
