The R-Process Alliance: Abundance Universality among Some Elements at and between the First and Second R-Process Peaks
Ian U. Roederer, John J. Cowan, Marco Pignatari +11
We present new observational benchmarks of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) nucleosynthesis for elements at and between the first (A ~ 80) and second (A ~ 130) peaks. Our…
Origin of Plutonium-244 in the Early Solar System
Maria Lugaro, Andrés Yagüe López, Benjámin Soós +5
We investigate the origin in the early Solar System of the short-lived radionuclide 244Pu (with a half life of 80 Myr) produced by the rapid (r) neutron-capture process. We conside…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
The need for a local nuclear physics feature in the neutron-rich rare-earths to explain solar -process abundances
Nicole Vassh, Gail C. McLaughlin, Matthew R. Mumpower +1
We apply Markov Chain Monte Carlo to predict the masses required to form the observed solar -process rare-earth abundance peak. Given highly distinct astrophysical outflows and…
