GRMHD Simulations of Accreting Proto-Magnetars II. Implications for r-process Nucleosynthesis
Tejas Prasanna, Kyle Parfrey, Brian D. Metzger +3
Newly formed, rapidly spinning, strongly magnetized neutron stars ("millisecond proto-magnetars") can arise in collapsars, neutron star mergers, or white-dwarf accretion-induced co…

GRMHD Simulations of Accreting Proto-Magnetars I. Implications for Gamma-Ray Burst Jets and Energetic Explosions
Tejas Prasanna, Kyle Parfrey, Brian D. Metzger +3
Newly formed, rapidly rotating, strongly magnetized neutron stars ("millisecond proto-magnetars") are promising central engines for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and luminous supernovae.…

Heavy element nucleosynthesis in rotating proto-magnetar winds
Tejas Prasanna, Matthew S. B. Coleman, Todd A. Thompson +3
The astrophysical origin of elements synthesized through the rapid neutron capture process (process) is a long standing mystery. The hot and dense environments of core-collapse…
