Nuclear Ignition of White Dwarf Stars by Relativistic Encounters with Rotating Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Peter Anninos, Robert D. Hoffman, Manvir Grewal +2
We present results from general relativistic calculations of nuclear ignition in white dwarf stars triggered by near encounters with rotating intermediate mass black holes with dif…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Relativistic Tidal Disruption and Nuclear Ignition of White Dwarf Stars by Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Peter Anninos, P. Chris Fragile, Samuel S. Olivier +3
We present results from general relativistic calculations of the tidal disruption of white dwarf stars from near encounters with intermediate mass black holes. We follow the evolut…
Reaction rate sensitivity of 44Ti production in massive stars and implications of a thick target yield measurement of 40Ca(alpha,gamma)44Ti
R. D. Hoffman, S. A. Sheets, J. T. Burke +12
We evaluate two dominant nuclear reaction rates and their uncertainties that affect 44Ti production in explosive nucleosynthesis. Experimentally we develop thick-target yields for…
Nucleosynthesis in early supernova winds III: No significant contribution from neutron-rich pockets
R. D. Hoffman, J. Pruet, J. L. Fisker +3
Recent nucleosynthesis calculations of Type II supernovae using advanced neutrino transport determine that the early neutrino winds are proton-rich. However, a fraction of the ejec…
On the origin of the lightest Molybdenum isotopes
Jacob Lund Fisker, Robert D. Hoffman, Jason Pruet
We discuss implications of recent precision measurements for the Rh93 proton separation energy for the production of the lightest molybdenum isotopes in proton-rich type II superno…
