Non-conservative Mass Transfer as a Formation Channel for Gaia Black Hole System
Aleksandra Olejak, Jakub Klencki, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +6
The detected Gaia systems hosting compact objects challenge standard models of binary star evolution. In particular, if the observed black hole (BH) systems evolved in isolation, t…
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…
Dynamics of baryon ejection in magnetar giant flares: implications for radio afterglows, r-process nucleosynthesis, and fast radio bursts
Jakub Cehula, Todd A. Thompson, Brian D. Metzger
We explore the impact of a magnetar giant flare (GF) on the neutron star (NS) crust, and the associated baryon mass ejection. We consider that sudden magnetic energy dissipation cr…
