On the effects of radiation on mass transfer in binary stars
Jakub Cehula, Ondřej Pejcha
Mass transfer (MT) in binary systems is a common evolutionary process that can significantly affect the structure, evolution, and final fate of both stars. In modeling MT hydrodyna…

r-Process Nucleosynthesis and Radioactively Powered Transients from Magnetar Giant Flares
Anirudh Patel, Brian D. Metzger, Jared A. Goldberg +3
We present nucleosynthesis and light-curve predictions for a new site of the rapid neutron capture process (-process) from magnetar giant flares (GFs). Motivated by observations…

Direct evidence for r-process nucleosynthesis in delayed MeV emission from the SGR 1806-20 magnetar giant flare
Anirudh Patel, Brian D. Metzger, Jakub Cehula +3
The origin of heavy elements synthesized through the rapid neutron capture process (-process) has been an enduring mystery for over half a century. Cehula et al. (2024) recently…
