Nuclear Physics of X-ray Bursts
Yi Xu, Hendrik Schatz, Rita Lau +2
Thermonuclear X-ray bursts from the surface of accreting neutron stars are the most common astrophysical explosions in our galaxy. They provide a unique window into the physics of…
Propagating Uncertainties from Nuclear Physics to Gamma-rays in Core Collapse Supernovae
Chris L Fryer, Hendrik Schatz, Samuel Jones +18
Nuclear yields are powerful probes of supernova explosions, their engines and their progenitors. In addition, as we improve our understanding of these explosions, we can use nuclea…
Capture Rates of Highly Degenerate Neutrons
B. Knight, O. L. Caballero, H. Schatz
At the low temperature and high density conditions of a neutron star crust neutrons are degenerate. In this work, we study the effect of this degeneracy on the capture rates of neu…
Spallation-altered accreted compositions for X-ray bursts: Impact on ignition conditions and burst ashes
J. S. Randhawa, Z. Meisel, S. A. Giuliani +5
Dependable predictions of the X-ray burst ashes and light curves require a stringent constraint on the composition of the accreted material as an input parameter. Lower metallicity…
Constraining the Neutron Star Compactness: Extraction of the Al() Reaction Rate for the -Process
C. Wolf, C. Langer, F. Montes +33
The Al()Si reaction is among the most important reactions driving the energy generation in Type-I X-ray bursts. However, the present reaction-rate uncertainty li…
Dependence of X-ray Burst Models on Nuclear Masses
H. Schatz, W. -J. Ong
X-ray burst model predictions of light curves and final composition of the nuclear ashes are affected by uncertain nuclear masses. However, not all of these masses are determined e…
