Uncertainties in the production of p nuclides in thermonuclear supernovae determined by Monte Carlo variations

N. Nishimura, T. Rauscher, R. Hirschi +3

Thermonuclear supernovae originating from the explosion of a white dwarf accreting mass from a companion star have been suggested as a site for the production of nuclides. Such…

Mass Ejection from the Remnant of a Binary Neutron Star Merger: Viscous-Radiation Hydrodynamics Study

Sho Fujibayashi, Kenta Kiuchi, Nobuya Nishimura +2

We perform long-term general relativistic neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations (in axisymmetry) for a massive neutron star (MNS) surrounded by a torus, which is a canonical…

Abundance Uncertainties Obtained With the PizBuin Framework For Monte Carlo Reaction Rate Variations

T. Rauscher, N. Nishimura, G. Cescutti +2

Uncertainties in nucleosynthesis models originating from uncertainties in astrophysical reaction rates were estimated in a Monte Carlo variation procedure. Thousands of rates were…

The s-process nucleosynthesis: impact of the uncertainties in the nuclear physics determined by Monte Carlo variations

G. Cescutti, N. Nishimura, R. Hirschi +3

We investigated the impact of uncertainties in neutron-capture and weak reactions (on heavy elements) on the s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars and massive stars using a M…

Impacts of nuclear-physics uncertainty in stellar temperatures on the s-process nucleosynthesis

N. Nishimura, G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi +3

We evaluated the uncertainty relevant to s-process nucleosynthesis using a Monte-Carlo centred approach. We are based on a realistic and general prescription of temperature depende…

Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars determined by Monte Carlo variations

Nobuya Nishimura, Raphael Hirschi, Thomas Rauscher +2

The -process in massive stars produces the weak component of the -process (nuclei up to ), in amounts that match solar abundances. For heavier isotopes, such as ba…
