Evidence for Type Ia Supernova Diversity from Ultraviolet Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope

Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Alexei V. Filippenko +93

We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and photometry of four Type Ia supernovae (SNe 2004dt, 2004ef, 2005M, and 2005cf) obtained with the UV prism of the Advanced Camera for Sur…

Charged-Particle and Neutron-Capture Processes in the High-Entropy Wind of Core-Collapse Supernovae

K. Farouqi, K. -L. Kratz, B. Pfeiffer +3

The astrophysical site of the r-process is still uncertain, and a full exploration of the systematics of this process in terms of its dependence on nuclear properties from stabilit…

Nucleosynthesis Modes in the High-Entropy-Wind of Type II Supernovae: Comparison of Calculations with Halo-Star Observations

K. Farouqi, K. -L. Kratz, L. I. Mashonkina +4

While the high-entropy wind (HEW) of Type II supernovae remains one of the more promising sites for the rapid neutron-capture (r-) process, hydrodynamic simulations have yet to rep…

Proton-Rich Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium

I. R. Seitenzahl, F. X. Timmes, A. Marin-Laflèche +3

Proton-rich material in a state of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) is one of the least studied regimes of nucleosynthesis. One reason for this is that after hydrogen burning,…

Explorations of the r-Processes: Comparisons between Calculations and Observations of Low-Metallicity Stars

Karl-Ludwig Kratz, Khalil Farouqi, Bernd Pfeiffer +3

Abundances of heavier elements (barium and beyond) in many neutron-capture-element-rich halo stars accurately replicate the solar system r-process pattern. However, abundances of l…

In Memory of Al Cameron

John J. Cowan, James W. Truran

Al Cameron, who died recently (October 3, 2005) at 80, was one of the giants in astrophysics. His insights were profound and his interests were wide-ranging. Originally trained as…
