Future directions in nuclear decay at FRIB and beyond
Garrett B. King, Ayala Glick-Magid, Grigor Sargsyan +38
Motivated by the opportunities presented for studies relevant to nuclear structure, astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries with nuclear decay, the Facility for Rare Isotope B…
Gamma rays as a signature of r-process producing supernovae: remnants and future Galactic explosions
Zhenghai Liu, Evan Grohs, Kelsey A. Lund +5
We consider the question of whether core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) can produce rapid neutron capture process (r-process) elements and how future MeV gamma-ray observations could…
Angle-dependent in-situ fast flavor transformations in post-neutron star merger disks
Kelsey A. Lund, Payel Mukhopadhyay, Jonah M. Miller +1
The remnant black hole-accretion disk system resulting from binary neutron star mergers has proven to be a promising site for synthesizing the heaviest elements via rapid neutron c…
Kilonova Emissions from Neutron Star Merger Remnants: Implications for Nuclear Equation of State
Kelsey A. Lund, Rahul Somasundaram, Gail C. McLaughlin +3
Multi-messenger observation of binary neutron-star mergers can provide valuable information on the nuclear equation of state (EoS). Here, we investigate to which extent electromagn…
Nuclear uncertainties associated with the ejecta of a neutron-star black-hole accretion disk
M. R. Mumpower, T. M. Sprouse, J. M. Miller +5
The simulation of heavy element nucleosynthesis requires input from yet-to-be-measured nuclear properties. The uncertainty in the values of these off-stability nuclear properties p…
Magnetic Field Strength Effects on Nucleosynthesis from Neutron Star Merger Outflows
Kelsey Alexandra Lund, Gail McLaughlin, Jonah Miller +1
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence drives the central engine of post-merger remnants, potentially powering both a nucleosynthetically active disk wind and the relativistic jet behind a…
Emergent nucleosynthesis from a 1.2 second long simulation of a black-hole accretion disk
T. M. Sprouse, K. A. Lund, J. M. Miller +2
We simulate a black-hole accretion disk system with full-transport general relativistic neutrino radiation magnetohydrodynamics (GRRMHD) for 1.2 seconds. This system is likely t…
Superheavy Elements in Kilonovae
Erika M. Holmbeck, Jennifer Barnes, Kelsey A. Lund +3
As LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA enters its fourth observing run, a new opportunity to search for electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers will also begin. The light curves and sp…
The Influence of Beta Decay Rates on r-Process Observables
Kelsey A. Lund, J. Engel, G. C. McLaughlin +3
The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is one of the main mechanisms whereby elements heavier than iron are synthesized, and is entirely responsible for the natural producti…
Field linkage and magnetic helicity density
K. Lund, M. Jardine, A. J. B. Russell +3
The helicity of a magnetic field is a fundamental property that is conserved in ideal MHD. It can be explored in the stellar context by mapping large-scale magnetic fields across s…
Kilonovae across the nuclear physics landscape: The impact of nuclear physics uncertainties on r-process-powered emission
Jennifer Barnes, Y. L. Zhu, K. A. Lund +5
Merging neutron stars produce "kilonovae"---electromagnetic transients powered by the decay of unstable nuclei synthesized via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) in material tha…
Modeling Kilonova Light Curves: Dependence on Nuclear Inputs
Y. L. Zhu, K. Lund, J. Barnes +5
The mergers of binary neutron stars, as well as black hole-neutron star systems, are expected to produce an electromagnetic counterpart that can be analyzed to infer the element sy…
