The s-process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars: impact of the uncertainties in the nuclear physics determined by Monte Carlo variations
G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi, N. Nishimura +4
We investigated the impact of uncertainties in neutron-capture and weak reactions (on heavy elements) on the s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars using a Monte-Carlo based a…
Early chemical evolution of Zn driven by magnetorotational supernovae and the pathway to the solar Zn composition
Takuji Tsujimoto, Nobuya Nishimura
The site of Zn production remains an elusive and challenging problem in astrophysics. A large enhancement of the [Zn/Fe] ratios of very metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo sugges…
Uncertainties in the production of p nuclides in SN Ia determined by Monte Carlo variations
T. Rauscher, N. Nishimura, R. Hirschi +3
Several thousand tracers from a 2D model of a thermonuclear supernova were used in a Monte Carlo post-processing approach to determine p-nuclide abundance uncertainties originating…
Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars determined from Monte Carlo variations
G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi, N. Nishimura +4
The main s-process taking place in low mass stars produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. It is therefore very important to determine the importance and impact of nu…
Sensitivity to neutron captures and beta-decays of the enhanced s-process in rotating massive stars at low metallicities
N. Nishimura, R. Hirschi, T. Rauscher
The s-process in massive stars, producing nuclei up to , has a different behaviour at low metallicity if stellar rotation is significant. This enhanced s-process is di…
Impacts of nuclear-physics uncertainties in the s-process determined by Monte-Carlo variations
N. Nishimura, G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi +3
The s-process, a production mechanism based on slow-neutron capture during stellar evolution, is the origin of about half the elements heavier than iron. Abundance predictions for…
