MeV Astrophysical Spectroscopic Surveyor (MASS): A Compton Telescope Mission Concept
Jiahuan Zhu, Xutao Zheng, Hua Feng +19
We propose a future mission concept, the MeV Astrophysical Spectroscopic Surveyor (MASS), which is a large area Compton telescope using 3D position sensitive cadmium zinc telluride…
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…
Collective neutrino oscillations and heavy-element nucleosynthesis in supernovae: exploring potential effects of many-body neutrino correlations
A. Baha Balantekin, Michael J. Cervia, Amol V. Patwardhan +2
In high-energy astrophysical processes involving compact objects, such as core-collapse supernovae or binary neutron star mergers, neutrinos play an important role in the synthesis…
Could a Kilonova Kill: a Threat Assessment
Haille M. L. Perkins, John Ellis, Brian D. Fields +5
Binary neutron star mergers (BNS) produce high-energy emissions from several physically different sources, including a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and its afterglow, a kilonova, and, at…
Observation of GRB 221009A early afterglow in X/-ray energy band
Chao Zheng, Yan-Qiu Zhang, Shao-Lin Xiong +45
The early afterglow of a Gamma-ray burst (GRB) can provide critical information on the jet and progenitor of the GRB. The extreme brightness of GRB 221009A allows us to probe its e…
Neutrinos and Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis
Xilu Wang, Rebecca Surman
This chapter discusses three nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing heavy nuclei beyond the iron group that are influenced or shaped by neutrino interactions: the v proces…
Flares from merged magnetars: their prospects as a new population of gamma-ray counterparts of binary neutron star mergers
Shu-Xu Yi, Zhen Zhang, Xilu Wang
Long-lived massive magnetars are expected to be remnants of some binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. In this paper, we argue that the magnetic powered flaring activities of these me…
Insight-HXMT and GECAM-C observations of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A
Zheng-Hua An, S. Antier, Xing-Zi Bi +174
GRB 221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected since the discovery of this kind of energetic explosions. However, an accurate measurement of the prompt emission propert…
