r-Process Nucleosynthesis: Connecting Rare-Isotope Beam Facilities with the Cosmos
C. J. Horowitz, A. Arcones, B. Côté +35
This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and elec…
Impact of weak interactions of free nucleons on the r-process in dynamical ejecta from neutron-star mergers
Stephane Goriely, Andreas Bauswein, Oliver Just +2
We investigate beta-interactions of free nucleons and their impact on the electron fraction (Y_e) and r-process nucleosynthesis in ejecta characteristic of binary neutron star merg…
Nucleosynthesis in dynamical and torus ejecta of compact binary mergers
Oliver Just, Andreas Bauswein, Ricard Ardevol Pulpillo +2
We present a comprehensive study of r-process element nucleosynthesis in the ejecta of compact binary mergers (CBMs) and their relic black-hole (BH)-torus systems. The evolution of…
A unified picture of the post-merger dynamics and gravitational wave emission in neutron-star mergers
A. Bauswein, N. Stergioulas
We introduce a classification scheme of the post-merger dynamics and gravitational-wave emission in binary neutron star mergers, after identifying a new mechanism by which a second…
Nucleosynthesis constraints on the neutron star-black hole merger rate
Andreas Bauswein, Ricard Ardevol Pulpillo, H. -Thomas Janka +1
We derive constraints on the time-averaged event rate of neutron star-black hole (NS-BH) mergers by using estimates of the population-integrated production of heavy rapid neutron-c…
Comprehensive nucleosynthesis analysis for ejecta of compact binary mergers
Oliver Just, Andreas Bauswein, Ricard Ardevol Pulpillo +2
We present the first comprehensive study of r-process element nucleosynthesis in the ejecta of compact binary mergers (CBMs) and their relic black-hole (BH)-torus systems. The evol…
