Unusual neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in a carbon-rich Galactic bulge star
A. Koch, M. Reichert, C. J. Hansen +4
Metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo often show strong enhancements in carbon and/or neutron-capture elements. However, the Galactic bulge is notable for its paucity of carbon-enh…
Equation of state effects in core-collapse supernovae
Hannah Yasin, Sabrina Schäfer, Almudena Arcones +1
We investigate the impact of different properties of the nuclear equation of state in core-collapse supernovae, with a focus on the proto-neutron-star contraction and its impact on…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
Neutron Star Mergers Might not be the Only Source of r-Process Elements in the Milky Way
Benoit Côté, Marius Eichler, Almudena Arcones +8
Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multi-disciplinary challenge. We review the observational evidence that probe the properties of r-process site…
The Impact of Different Neutrino Transport Methods on Multidimensional Core-collapse Supernova Simulations
Kuo-Chuan Pan, Carlos Mattes, Evan P. O'Connor +3
Neutrinos play a crucial role in the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion mechanism. The requirement of accurately calculating the transport of neutrinos makes simulations of t…
r-Process Nucleosynthesis: Connecting Rare-Isotope Beam Facilities with the Cosmos
C. J. Horowitz, A. Arcones, B. Côté +35
This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and elec…
