Impact of Decay-Chain Feeding by Long-Lived Heavy Nuclei on Nuclear Cosmochronology

Qiu-Hong Chen, Meng-Hua Chen, Xianlin Yang +1

Nuclear cosmochronology provides an independent method for determining the ages of astrophysical objects without relying on Galactic chemical evolution models. Long-lived radioacti…

Kilonova Emission from Neutron Star Mergers with Different Equations of State

Wu-Zimo Qiumu, Meng-Hua Chen, Qiu-Hong Chen +1

Kilonova is an optical-infrared transient powered by the radioactive decay of heavy nuclei from binary neutron star mergers. Its observational characteristics depend on the mass an…

Impact of nuclear mass models on -process nucleosynthesis and heavy element abundances in -process enhanced metal-poor stars

Meng-Hua Chen, Li-Xin Li, En-Wei Liang +1

Due to the lack of experimental data on extremely neutron-rich nuclei, theoretical values derived from nuclear physics models are essential for the rapid neutron capture process ($…

Radioactive Gamma-Ray Lines from Long-lived Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Meng-Hua Chen, Li-Xin Li, En-Wei Liang

The observation of a kilonova AT2017gfo associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817 provides the first strong evidence that neutron star mergers are dominant contributors…

The Energy Sources, the Physical Properties, and the Mass-loss History of SN 2017dio

Deng-Wang Shi, Shan-Qin Wang, Wen-Pei Gan +1

We study the energy sources, the physical properties of the ejecta and the circumstellar medium (CSM), as well as the mass-loss history of the progenitor of SN 2017dio which is a b…

A Channel to Form Fast-spinning Black Hole-Neutron Star Binary Mergers as Multimessenger Sources. II. Accretion-induced Spin-up

Zhen-Han-Tao Wang, Rui-Chong Hu, Ying Qin +7

In this work, we investigate an alternative channel for the formation of fast-spinning black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries, in which super-Eddington accretion is expected to oc…

Ejecta-circumstellar medium interaction in high-density environment contribution to kilonova emission: Application to GRB 191019A

Suo-Ning Wang, Hou-Jun Lü, Yong Yuan +4

The nearby long-duration GRB 191019A recently detected by Swift lacks an associated supernova and belongs to a host galaxy with little star formation activity, suggesting that the…
