r-Java 2.0: the astrophysics
M. Kostka, N. Koning, Z. Shand +2
[Context:] This article is the second in a two part series introducing r-Java 2.0, a nucleosynthesis code for open use that performs r-process calculations and provides a suite of…
r-Java 2.0: the nuclear physics
M. Kostka, N. Koning, Z. Shand +2
[Aims:] We present r-Java 2.0, a nucleosynthesis code for open use that performs r-process calculations as well as a suite of other analysis tools. [Methods:] Equipped with a strai…
Quark Nova Signatures in Super-luminous Supernovae
Mathew Kostka, Nico Koning, Rachid Ouyed +2
Recent observational surveys have uncovered the existence of super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe). While several possible explanations have been put forth, a consensus description for…
r-Java : An r-process Code and Graphical User Interface for Heavy-Element Nucleosynthesis
Camille Charignon, Mathew Kostka, Nico Koning +2
We present r-Java, an r-process code for open use, that performs r-process nucleosynthesis calculations. Equipped with a simple graphical user interface, r-Java is capable of carry…
Quark nova imprint in the extreme supernova explosion SN 2006gy
Rachid Ouyed, Mathew Kostka, Nico Koning +2
The extremely luminous supernova 2006gy (SN 2006gy) is among the most energetic ever observed. The peak brightness was 100 times that of a typical supernova and it spent an unheard…
Stellar Wind Accretion in GX301-2: Evidence for a High-density Stream
D. A. Leahy, M. Kostka
The X-ray binary system GX301-2 consists of a neutron star in an eccentric orbit accreting from the massive early-type star WRAY 977. It has previously been shown that the X-ray or…
