Nucleosynthesis-relevant conditions in neutrino-driven supernova outflows. II. The reverse shock in two-dimensional simulations
A. Arcones, H. -T. Janka
After the initiation of the explosion of core-collapse supernovae, neutrinos emitted from the nascent neutron star drive a supersonic baryonic outflow. This neutrino-driven wind in…
Three-Dimensional Simulations of Mixing Instabilities in Supernova Explosions
N. J. Hammer, H. -Th. Janka, E. Mueller
We present the first three-dimensional (3D) simulations of the large-scale mixing that takes place in the shock-heated stellar layers ejected in the explosion of a 15.5 solar-mass…
The r-process nucleosynthesis: a continued challenge for nuclear physics and astrophysics
S. Goriely, P. Demetriou, H. -Th. Janka +2
The identification of the astrophysical site and the specific conditions in which r-process nucleosynthesis takes place remain unsolved mysteries of astrophysics. The present paper…
Detectable Signals from Mergers of Compact Stars
H. -Th. Janka, M. Ruffert
Merging neutron stars and neutron star-black holes binaries are powerful sources of gravitational waves. They have also been suggested as possible sources of cosmic gamma-ray burst…
Titanium-44: Its Effective Decay Rate in Young Supernova Remnants, and its Abundance in Cas A
Y. Mochizuki, K. Takahashi, H. -Th. Janka +2
Radioactive isotopes such as 44Ti offer probably the most direct probe into nucleosynthesis environments in the interior of exploding stars, when the associated gamma-ray activitie…
