The consequences of nuclear electron capture in core collapse supernovae
W. R. Hix, O. E. B. Messer, A. Mezzacappa +5
The most important weak nuclear interaction to the dynamics of stellar core collapse is electron capture, primarily on nuclei with masses larger than 60. In prior simulations of co…
Electron capture rates on nuclei and implications for stellar core collapse
K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo, J. M. Sampaio +7
Supernova simulations to date have assumed that during core collapse electron captures occur dominantly on free protons, while captures on heavy nuclei are Pauli-blocked and are ig…
High Resolution Calculations of Merging Neutron Stars II: Neutrino Emission
S. Rosswog, M. Liebendoerfer
The remnant resulting from the merger of two neutron stars produces neutrinos in copious amounts. In this paper we present the neutrino emission results obtained via Newtonian, hig…
