PUSHing core-collapse supernovae to explosions in spherical symmetry IV: Explodability, remnant properties and nucleosynthesis yields of low metallicity stars
Kevin Ebinger, Sanjana Curtis, Somdutta Ghosh +5
In this fourth paper of the series, we use the parametrized, spherically symmetric explosion method PUSH to perform a systematic study of two sets of non-rotating stellar progenito…
Using failed supernovae to constrain the Galactic r-process element production
B. Wehmeyer, C. Frohlich, B. Côté +2
Rapid neutron capture process (r-process) elements have been detected in a large fraction of metal-poor halo stars, with abundances relative to iron (Fe) that vary by over two orde…
Enrichment of the Galactic disc with neutron-capture elements: Mo and Ru
Tamara Mishenina, Marco Pignatari, Tatiana Gorbaneva +4
We present new observational data for the heavy elements molybdenum (Mo, Z = 42) and ruthenium (Ru, Z = 44) in F-, G-, and K-stars belonging to different substructures of the Milky…
Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities
Brian D. Fields, John R. Ellis, Walter R. Binns +36
There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
Origin of the Heaviest Elements: the Rapid Neutron-Capture Process
John J. Cowan, Christopher Sneden, James E. Lawler +5
The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). A…
