The Effects of the pep Nuclear Reaction and Other Improvements in the Nuclear Reaction Rate Library on Simulations of the Classical Nova Outburst
S. Starrfield, C. Iliadis, W. R. Hix +2
We have continued our studies of the Classical Nova outburst by evolving TNRs on 1.25Msun and 1.35Msun WDs (ONeMg composition) under conditions which produce mass ejection and a ra…
The consequences of nuclear electron capture in core collapse supernovae
W. R. Hix, O. E. B. Messer, A. Mezzacappa +5
The most important weak nuclear interaction to the dynamics of stellar core collapse is electron capture, primarily on nuclei with masses larger than 60. In prior simulations of co…
Explosive Nucleosynthesis in Hypernovae
Takayoshi Nakamura, Hideyuki Umeda, Koichi Iwamoto +4
We examine the characteristics of nucleosynthesis in 'hypernovae', i.e., supernovae with very large explosion energies ($ \gsim 10^{52} $ ergs). We carry out detailed nucleosynthes…
Silicon Burning II: Quasi-Equilibrium and Explosive Burning
W. Raphael Hix, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann
Having examined the application of quasi-equilibrium to hydrostatic silicon burning in Paper I of this series, Hix & Thielemann (1996), we now turn our attention to explosive silic…
Silicon Burning I: Neutronization and the Physics of Quasi-Equilibrium
W. R. Hix, F. -K. Thielemann
As the ultimate stage of stellar nucleosynthesis, and the source of the iron peak nuclei, silicon burning is important to our understanding of the evolution of massive stars and su…
