The physics of deep-interior convective shell boundaries in a massive pre-supernova star: Internal gravity wave mixing at the peak

Praneet Pathak, Falk Herwig, Simon Blouin +2

The physics of convective boundary mixing involves concepts such as penetration and overshooting and has been mostly characterized for envelope and core convection. For the burning…

Testing a Pre-Supernova Contribution to Ti in Cassiopeia A

Toshiki Sato, Joshua Issa, Falk Herwig +4

The radioactive isotope Ti in Cassiopeia A has been used as a tracer of the innermost ejecta and explosion asymmetries in core-collapse supernova explosions. However, recent…

Propagating Uncertainties from Nuclear Physics to Gamma-rays in Core Collapse Supernovae

Chris L Fryer, Hendrik Schatz, Samuel Jones +18

Nuclear yields are powerful probes of supernova explosions, their engines and their progenitors. In addition, as we improve our understanding of these explosions, we can use nuclea…

Pre-supernova O-C shell mergers could produce more than the explosion

Joshua Issa, Falk Herwig

The formation of in massive stars is thought to occur during explosive nucleosynthesis, however recent studies have shown it can be produced during O-C shell mer…

3D Macro Physics and Light Odd-Z Element Production in O-C Shell Mergers: Implications for production and radiogenic heating inventories of rocky exoplanets

Joshua Issa, Falk Herwig, Stephen J. Mojzsis +1

The light odd-Z elements P, Cl, K, and Sc are underproduced in galactic chemical evolution models compared to spectroscopic observations of stars in the Milky Way. The most promisi…

Impact of 3D macro physics and nuclear physics on the p nuclei in O-C shell mergers

Joshua Issa, Falk Herwig, Pavel Denissenkov +1

O-C shell mergers in massive stars are a site for producing the p nuclei by the process, but 1D stellar models rely on mixing length theory, which does not match the radial vel…
