Proton-rich production of lanthanides: the process
Xilu Wang, Amol V. Patwardhan, Yangming Lin +7
The astrophysical origin of the lanthanides is an open question in nuclear astrophysics. Besides the widely studied , , and processes in moderately-to-strongly neutron-ri…
The Heavy Element Enrichment History of the Universe from Neutron Star Mergers with Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eric Burns, Jennifer Andrews, Robert Szabo +23
Understanding where elements were formed has been a key goal in astrophysics for nearly a century, with answers involving cosmology, stellar burning, and cosmic explosions. Since 1…
Gamma rays as a signature of r-process producing supernovae: remnants and future Galactic explosions
Zhenghai Liu, Evan Grohs, Kelsey A. Lund +5
We consider the question of whether core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) can produce rapid neutron capture process (r-process) elements and how future MeV gamma-ray observations could…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
