Identifying observable MeV lines from the decays of weak and main -process isotopes in mergers
Maude Lariviere, Nicole Vassh, Yanwen Deng +2
We consider predictions for the MeV gamma-ray spectrum emitted by the decays of freshly synthesized isotopes from a neutron star merger at timescales of relevance for post-merg…
Gardening on the Moon: An Advection-Diffusion Model to Guide the Search for Supernova Debris in the Lunar Regolith
Emily S. Costello, John Ellis, Brian D. Fields +2
The vertical redistribution of materials in the lunar regolith - ranging from continuously produced space-weathering products to sporadic pulses of supernova- or kilonova-derived i…
Effect of Finite-Temperature -Decay Rates on the Rapid Neutron Capture Process
Yukiya Saito, Ante Ravlić, Pranav Nalamwar +1
-decay is known to play an essential role in the rapid neutron capture process (-process) during equilibrium and freeze-out when the neutron-r…
Beta-decay of nuclei around Se-90. Search for signatures of a N=56 sub-shell closure relevant the r-process
M. Quinn, A. Aprahamian, J. Pereira +26
Nuclear structure plays a significant role on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) since shapes evolve with the emergence of shells and sub-shells. There was some indicati…
Changes in r-process abundances at late times
R. Surman, J. Engel
We explore changes in abundance patterns that occur late in the r process. As the neutrons available for capture begin to disappear, a quasiequilibrium funnel shifts material into…
Beta decay of r-process waiting-point nuclei in a self-consistent approach
J. Engel, M. Bender, J. Dobaczewski +2
Beta-decay rates for spherical neutron-rich r-process waiting-point nuclei are calculated within a fully self-consistent Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation, formulated in the…
R-Process Freezeout, Nuclear Deformation, and the Rare-Earth Element Peak
R. Surman, J. Engel, J. R. Bennett +1
We use network calculations of r-process nucleosynthesis to explore the origin of the peak in the solar r-process abundance distribution near nuclear mass number A = 160. The peak…
