Presupernova collapse models with improved weak-interaction rates
A. Heger, K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo +1
Improved values for stellar weak interaction rates have been recently calculated based upon a large shell model diagonalization. Using these new rates (for both beta decay and elec…
Pair-Instability Supernovae, Gravity Waves, and Gamma-Ray Transients
C. L. Fryer, S. E. Woosley, A. Heger
Growing theoretical evidence suggests that the first generation of stars may have been quite massive (~100-300 solar masses). If they retain their high mass until death, such stars…
Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars - Including All Stable Isotopes
A. Heger, R. D. Hoffman, T. Rauscher +1
We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable isotopes (and their abundant radioactive progenitors) in a finely zoned stellar model computed from the onse…
