Magnetorotational supernovae: A nucleosynthetic analysis of sophisticated 3D models

Moritz Reichert, Martin Obergaulinger, Miguel-Angel Aloy +3

Magnetorotational supernovae are a rare type of core-collapse supernovae where the magnetic field and rotation play a central role in the dynamics of the explosion. We present the…

-process nucleosynthesis from compact binary mergers

Albino Perego, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, Gabriele Cescutti

The merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron star and a black hole often result in the ejection of a few percents of a solar mass of matter expanding at high speed in space. Bei…

Correlations of r-Process Elements in Very Metal-Poor Stars as Clues to their Nucleosynthesis Sites

Khalil Farouqi, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, Stephan Rosswog +1

Various nucleosynthesis studies have pointed out that the r-process elements in very metal-poor (VMP) halo stars might have different origins. By means of familiar concepts from st…

Stellar Mass Black Hole Formation and Multi-messenger Signals from Three Dimensional Rotating Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

Kuo-Chuan Pan, Matthias Liebendörfer, Sean Couch +1

We present self-consistent, 3D core-collapse supernova simulations of a 40 Msun progenitor model using the isotropic diffusion source approximation for neutrino transport and an ef…

Heavy Elements Nucleosynthesis On Accreting White Dwarfs: building seeds for the p-process

Umberto Battino, Marco Pignatari, Claudia Travaglio +5

The origin of the proton-rich trans-iron isotopes in the solar system is still uncertain. Single-degenerate thermonuclear supernovae (SNIa) with n-capture nucleosynthesis seeds ass…

Core-collapse Supernova Explosions Driven by the Hadron-quark Phase Transition as a Rare -process Site

Tobias Fischer, Meng-Ru Wu, Benjamin Wehmeyer +3

Supernova explosions of massive stars are one of the primary sites for the production of the elements in the universe. Up to now, stars with zero-age main-sequence masses in the ra…
