Urca Nuclide Production in Type-I X-ray Bursts and Implications for Nuclear Physics Studies
Grant Merz, Zach Meisel
The thermal structure of accreting neutron stars is affected by the presence of urca nuclei in the neutron star crust. Nuclear isobars harboring urca nuclides can be produced in th…

Sensitivity of Ti and Ni production in CCSN shock-driven nucleosynthesis to reaction rates
Shiv K. Subedi, Zach Meisel, Grant Merz
Recent observational advances have enabled high resolution mapping of Ti in core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants. Comparisons between observations and models provide st…

Influence of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties on Neutron Star Properties Extracted From X-ray Burst Model-Observation Comparisons
Zach Meisel, Grant Merz, Sophia Medvid
Type-I X-ray bursts can be used to determine properties of accreting neutron stars via comparisons between model calculations and astronomical observations, exploiting the sensitiv…
