Tidally-induced thermonuclear Supernovae
S. Rosswog, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, W. R. Hix
We discuss the results of 3D simulations of tidal disruptions of white dwarfs by moderate-mass black holes as they may exist in the cores of globular clusters or dwarf galaxies. Ou…
Opportunities for Neutrino Physics at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS)
Yu Efremenko, W R Hix
In this paper we discuss opportunities for a neutrino program at the Spallation Neutrons Source (SNS) being commissioning at ORNL. Possible investigations can include study of neut…
Neutron capture on 130Sn during r-process freeze-out
J. Beun, J. C. Blackmon, W. R. Hix +3
We examine the role of neutron capture on 130Sn during r-process freeze-out in the neutrino-driven wind environment of the core-collapse supernova. We find that the global r-proces…
Simulating Black Hole White Dwarf Encounters
S. Rosswog, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, W. R. Hix +1
The existence of supermassive black holes lurking in the centers of galaxies and of stellar binary systems containing a black hole with a few solar masses has been established beyo…
Fission Cycling in a Supernova r-process
J. Beun, G. C. McLaughlin, R. Surman +1
Recent halo star abundance observations exhibit an important feature of consequence to the r-process: the presence of a main r-process between the second and third peaks which is c…
The Effects of Changes in Reaction Rates on Simulations of Nova Explosions
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
Classical novae participate in the cycle of Galactic chemical evolution in which grains and metal enriched gas in their ejecta, supplementing those of supernovae, AGB stars, and Wo…
