Binary orbit, physical properties, and evolutionary state of Capella (alpha Aurigae)
Guillermo Torres, Antonio Claret, Patrick A. Young
We report extensive radial-velocity measurements of the two giant components of the detached, 104-day period binary system of Capella. Our highly accurate three-dimensional orbital…
"An Era of Precision Astrophysics: Connecting Stars, Galaxies and the Universe," an Astro2010 Science White Paper
Rob P. Olling, Ron J. Allen, Jay Anderson +14
Abridged: The golden age of astrophysics is upon us with both grand discoveries (extra-solar planets, dark matter, dark energy) and precision cosmology. Fundamental understanding o…
Complete nucleosynthesis calculations for low-mass stars from NuGrid
Marco Pignatari, Falk Herwig, Michael Bennett +8
Many nucleosynthesis and mixing processes of low-mass stars as they evolve from the Main Sequence to the thermal-pulse Asymptotic Giant Branch phase (TP-AGB) are well understood (a…
Spatial Distribution of Nucleosynthesis Products in Cassiopeia A: Comparison Between Observations and 3D Explosion Models
Patrick Young, Carola I. Ellinger, Francis X. Timmes +10
We examine observed heavy element abundances in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant as a constraint on the nature of the Cas A supernova. We compare bulk abundances from 1D and 3D e…
Nucleosynthetic Yields from "Collapsars"
Gabriel Rockefeller, Christopher L. Fryer, Patrick Young +8
The "collapsar" engine for gamma-ray bursts invokes as its energy source the failure of a normal supernova and the formation of a black hole. Here we present the results of the fir…
Nucleosynthesis Calculations from Core-Collapse Supernovae
Christopher L. Fryer, Patrick Young, Michael Bennett +8
We review some of the uncertainties in calculating nucleosynthetic yields, focusing on the explosion mechanism. Current yield calculations tend to either use a piston, energy injec…
