Proto-Neutron Star Convection and the Neutrino-Driven Wind: Implications for the p-Process
Brian Nevins, Luke F. Roberts
Recent studies of the neutrino-driven wind from proto-neutron stars have indicated that the wind is likely proton-rich for much of its lifetime, and the high flux of neutrinos can…
Nuclear pasta and supernova neutrinos at late times
C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +5
Nuclear pasta, with nucleons arranged into tubes, sheets, or other complex shapes, is expected in core collapse supernovae (SNe) at just below nuclear density. We calculate the add…
A New Code for Proto-Neutron Star Evolution
Luke F. Roberts
A new code for following the evolution and emissions of proto-neutron stars during the first minute of their lives is developed and tested. The code is one dimensional, fully impli…
Integrated Nucleosynthesis in Neutrino Driven Winds
L. F. Roberts, S. E. Woosley, R. D. Hoffman
Although they are but a small fraction of the mass ejected in core-collapse supernovae, neutrino-driven winds (NDWs) from nascent proto-neutron stars (PNSs) have the potential to c…
Electron fraction constraints based on Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium with beta equilibrium
A. Arcones, G. Martinez-Pinedo, L. F. Roberts +1
The electron-to-nucleon ratio or electron fraction is a key parameter in many astrophysical studies. Its value is determined by weak-interaction rates that are based on theoretical…
