Nuclear Reactions in Evolving Stars
Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, Thomas Rauscher
This chapter will go through the important nuclear reactions in stellar evolution and explosions, passing through the individual stellar burning stages and also explosive burning c…
PUSHing Core-Collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry: Nucleosynthesis Yields
Sanjana Sinha, Carla Fröhlich, Kevin Ebinger +5
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the extremely energetic deaths of massive stars. They play a vital role in the synthesis and dissemination of many heavy elements in the univer…
Application of a Theory and Simulation based Convective Boundary Mixing model for AGB Star Evolution and Nucleosynthesis
U. Battino, M. Pignatari, C. Ritter +8
The -process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars depends on the modeling of convective boundaries. We present models and s-process simulations that adopt a tr…
Silicon carbide grains of type C provide evidence for the production of the unstable isotope Si in supernovae
M. Pignatari, E. Zinner, M. G. Bertolli +8
Carbon-rich grains are observed to condense in the ejecta of recent core-collapse supernovae, within a year after the explosion. Silicon carbide grains of type X are C-rich grains…
Charged-Particle and Neutron-Capture Processes in the High-Entropy Wind of Core-Collapse Supernovae
K. Farouqi, K. -L. Kratz, B. Pfeiffer +3
The astrophysical site of the r-process is still uncertain, and a full exploration of the systematics of this process in terms of its dependence on nuclear properties from stabilit…
Nucleosynthesis in Two-Dimensional Delayed Detonation Models of Type Ia Supernova Explosions
K. Maeda, F. K. Roepke, M. Fink +3
The nucleosynthetic characteristics of various explosion mechanisms of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is explored based on three two-dimensional explosion simulations representing ext…
Nucleosynthesis Modes in the High-Entropy-Wind of Type II Supernovae: Comparison of Calculations with Halo-Star Observations
K. Farouqi, K. -L. Kratz, L. I. Mashonkina +4
While the high-entropy wind (HEW) of Type II supernovae remains one of the more promising sites for the rapid neutron-capture (r-) process, hydrodynamic simulations have yet to rep…
