Numerical studies on the link between radioisotopic signatures on Earth and the formation of the Local Bubble. II. Advanced modeling of interstellar 26Al, 53Mn, 60Fe, and 244Pu influxes as traces of past supernovae in the solar neighborhood

Michael Mathias Schulreich, Jenny Feige, Dieter Breitschwerdt

Measurements of long-lived radioisotopes provide a means, completely independent of other observational channels, to draw conclusions about near-Earth supernovae (SNe) and thus the…

Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities

Brian D. Fields, John R. Ellis, Walter R. Binns +36

There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope…

New limit of Pu on Earth points to rarity of actinide nucleosynthesis

A. Wallner, T. Faestermann, J. Feige +9

Half of the heavy elements including all actinides are produced in r-process nucleosynthesis whose sites and history still remain a mystery. If continuously produced, the Interstel…

The Search for Supernova-produced Radionuclides in Terrestrial Deep-sea Archives

Jenny Feige, Anton Wallner, Stephan R. Winkler +5

An enhanced concentration of 60Fe was found in a deep ocean's crust in 2004 in a layer corresponding to an age of ~2 Myr. The confirmation of this signal in terrestrial archives as…
