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…
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…
