pynucastro 3: A community library for nuclear astrophysics
Zhi Chen, Khanak Bhargava, Eric T. Johnson +8
We describe the latest release of pynucastro: a community python library for nuclear astrophysics. The goal of the pynucastro project is to build the tools needed to interactively…
AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics: A set of microphysics routines for astrophysical simulation codes based on the AMReX library
Astro Microphysics Team, Khanak Bhargava, Abigail Bishop +15
The AMReX-Astrophysics Microphysics library provides a common set of microphysics routines (reaction networks and associated physics, equations of state, and various transport coef…
Multi-dimensional Models of Mixed H/He Flames in X-ray Bursts
Eric T. Johnson, Michael Zingale
We investigate the properties of mixed H/He flames in X-ray bursts using 2D hydrodynamic simulations. We find that as the initial hydrogen abundance of the atmosphere increases, th…
The Challenges of Modeling Astrophysical Reacting Flows
Michael Zingale, Khanak Bhargava, Ryan Brady +5
Stellar evolution is driven by the changing composition of a star from nuclear reactions. At the late stages of evolution and during explosive events, the timescale can be short an…
