The Hydrodynamic Environment for the s Process in the He-Shell Flash of AGB Stars

Paul R. Woodward, David H. Porter, Falk Herwig +3

The He-shell flash convection in AGB stars is the site for the high-temperature component of the s-process in low- and intermediate mass giants, driven by the Ne22 neutron source.…

Complete nucleosynthesis calculations for low-mass stars from NuGrid

Marco Pignatari, Falk Herwig, Michael Bennett +8

Many nucleosynthesis and mixing processes of low-mass stars as they evolve from the Main Sequence to the thermal-pulse Asymptotic Giant Branch phase (TP-AGB) are well understood (a…

Spatial Distribution of Nucleosynthesis Products in Cassiopeia A: Comparison Between Observations and 3D Explosion Models

Patrick Young, Carola I. Ellinger, Francis X. Timmes +10

We examine observed heavy element abundances in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant as a constraint on the nature of the Cas A supernova. We compare bulk abundances from 1D and 3D e…

NuGrid: s process in massive stars

Raphael Hirschi, Urs Frischknecht, F. -K. Thielemann +10

The s-process production in massive stars at very low metallicities is expected to be negligible due to the low abundance of the neutron source 22Ne, to primary neutron poisons and…

Nucleosynthesis simulations for a wide range of nuclear production sites from NuGrid

Falk Herwig, Michael Bennett, Steven Diehl +8

Simulations of nucleosynthesis in astrophysical environments are at the intersection of nuclear physics reaction rate research and astrophysical applications, for example in the ar…

44Ti and 56Ni in core-collapse supernovae

Georgios Magkotsios, Francis X. Timmes, Michael Wiescher +9

We investigate the physical conditions where 44Ti and 56Ni are created in core-collapse supernovae. In this preliminary work we use a series of post-processing network calculations…
