HESS J1507-622: A Plausible Young Galactic Kilonova Remnant

Prantik Sarmah, Xilu Wang, Myles Carley +3

HESS J1507622 is an unusual TeV gamma-ray source in the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey, distinguished by its off-plane location () and compact angular ext…

Machine Learning -decay Half-lives and Their Application to -Process Observables

Mengke Li, Flora Wang, Jonathan Engel +3

Accurately modeling -decay half-lives of highly neutron-rich nuclei is a critical challenge for understanding -process nucleosynthesis and the resulting kilonova light curves…

Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron capture rate variations in weak -process simulations

Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia +7

Reliable predictions of weak rapid neutron capture (-process) abundances require a systematic treatment of nuclear physics uncertainties, especially neutron capture rat…

Implications of a Weakening N = 126 Shell Closure Away from Stability for r-Process Astrophysical Conditions

Mengke Li, Gail C. McLaughlin, Rebecca Surman

The formation of the third r-process abundance peak near A = 195 is highly sensitive to both nuclear structure far from stability and the astrophysical conditions that produce the…

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…

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…
