Deciphering the Origins of the Elements Through Galactic Archeology
Khalil Farouqi, Anna Frebel, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann
Low-metallicity stars preserve the signatures of the first stellar nucleosynthesis events in the Galaxy, as their surface abundances reflect the composition of the interstellar med…
Correlations of r-Process Elements in Very Metal-Poor Stars as Clues to their Nucleosynthesis Sites
Khalil Farouqi, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, Stephan Rosswog +1
Various nucleosynthesis studies have pointed out that the r-process elements in very metal-poor (VMP) halo stars might have different origins. By means of familiar concepts from st…
A high-entropy wind r-process study based on nuclear-structure quantities from the new finite-range droplet model FRDM(2012)
Karl-Ludwig Kratz, Khalil Farouqi, Peter Möller
Theoretical studies of the nucleosynthesis origin of the heavy elements in our Solar System (S.S.) by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) still face the entwined uncertai…
Silver and palladium help unveil the nature of a second r-process
Camilla Juul Hansen, Francesca Primas, Henrik Hartman +7
The rapid neutron-capture process, creating about half of the heaviest elements in the Solar System was believed to be unique. Many recent studies have shown that this does not inc…
New attempts to understand nanodiamond stardust
Ulrich Ott, Astrid Besmehn, Khalil Farouqi +5
We report on a concerted effort aimed at understanding the origin and history of the pre-solar nanodiamonds in meteorites including the astrophysical sources of the observed isotop…
The Ubiquity of the Rapid Neutron-Capture Process
I. U. Roederer, J. J. Cowan, A. I. Karakas +5
To better characterize the abundance patterns produced by the r-process, we have derived new abundances or upper limits for the heavy elements zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La…
