Element abundance patterns in stars indicate fission of nuclei heavier than uranium
Ian U. Roederer, Nicole Vassh, Erika M. Holmbeck +9
The heaviest chemical elements are naturally produced by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) during neutron star mergers or supernovae. The r-process production of elemen…

Thallium-208: a beacon of in situ neutron capture nucleosynthesis
Nicole Vassh, Xilu Wang, Maude Lariviere +7
We demonstrate that the well-known 2.6 MeV gamma-ray emission line from thallium-208 could serve as a real-time indicator of astrophysical heavy element production, with both rapid…
